Supreme Court justice David Prosser has picked up more than 7,381 votes in Waukesha County, a conservative county outside of Milwaukee, as part of the statewide canvass following the election for Supreme Court on Tuesday. The total gives Prosser a comfortable lead as the canvass continues Friday.
The error came when Waukesha County clerk Kathy Nickolaus failed to save some 14,000 votes that came from wards in Brookfield before passing the vote total along to the Associated Press. County officials discovered the mistake Wednesday and shared the information with state election officials on Thursday. Prosser won Waukesha County with more than 70 percent of the vote there. Wisconsin sources say that the paper trail on the votes will be obvious and difficult for anyone to dispute. Either votes from Brookfield were counted in the initial tally or they weren’t. Still, the discovery of the extra votes is sure to stoke the embers of the heated battles that have taken place across the state over the past two months, particularly because Nickolaus, the woman at the center of the controversy, is a Republican activist. A posting on the website (http://www.waukeshagop.org/womendir.html - broken link) of the Republican Women of Waukesha County indicates that Kathy Nickolaus recently served as president of that group

What a humiliation for the Tea Party and their media toads.
This is a total Wisonsin smackdown of Scott Walker
Prosser should really understand it is time to leave the stage.
Somehow, the idiots over think he should have conceded BEFORE the canvass, with Kloppenhag up by 204 votes. Now we understand why they wanted him to do that.
The point has been made regardless of result. Incumbent judges very rarely get voted out of office. If Prosser has won, it's by a narrow margin, and shows that there is a lot of anger about Walker's actions. Hopefully him and Wisconsin Republicans take it as a sign to govern a bit more moderately, lest many of them be recalled next year.

Perhaps, but when you go from 55-45 to 50.5-49.5, do you take that as a sign that you should not change a thing?
Prosser had NOTHING to do with the Walker union busting bill, but the Left decided he would serve nicely as a target for their hate and anger.
Madison (the Left) against the rest of the state, which came out in record numbers to DENY (hopefully, short of fraud and cheating) the Left/unions a victory for their vicious, nasty campaign against anyone, any business that disagreed with their view.
The union/Left riled up the Madison area, but they also seemed to have riled up the rest of the state.
Yeah, how convenient. They just so happen to find thousands of ballots that COMPLETELY change the outcome of the election. If you really believe there was no fraud here I have a prime piece of real estate in Japan to sell you...
Because that's the republican way. If you can't win, just commit fraud and throw the election so you do.
Interesting enough what's going on conveniently fits into the #14 defining characteristic of fascism,..
"Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections."
