uh, whoops! Anyone else forget to save?
Press release from the campaign.
JoAnne Kloppenburg Elected to Wisconsin Supreme Court
With 100% of Wisconsin precincts reporting according to the Associated Press, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg has won Tuesday’s Supreme Court race.
The Associated Press tally shows Kloppenburg received 740,090 votes to 739,886 votes for the incumbent David Prosser, a margin of 204 votes.
“We owe Justice Prosser our gratitude for his more than 30 years of public service,” Kloppenburg said. “Wisconsin voters have spoken and I am grateful for, and humbled by, their confidence and trust. I will be independent and impartial and I will decide cases based on the facts and the law. As I have traveled the State, people tell me they believe partisan politics do not belong in our Courts. I look forward to bringing new blood to the Supreme Court and focusing my energy on the important work Wisconsin residents elect Supreme Court justices to do.”
She is now Justice-elect Kloppenburg
I hope this will be true, but the vote needs to be certified to the state, first. By April 17 (and hopefully before), we will hopefully be able to say she “officially” won. And then the recounts will start…
Here is a really good assessment of Tuesday’s result:

Argh, time to take down this post. I guess there’s Waukesha County… and then there’s the rest of the state…!
