Wisconsin Update
Here's the latest. 99 percent of ballots have been counted. Prosser has 733,074 votes. Kloppenburg has 732,489.
Folks, that is, as we say in the election game, inside the margin of fraud. Police guarded the ballots overnight, but that doesn't really reassure. Would this be the same police that stood by and did nothing while union thugs tore up recall ballots aimed at Democrats?
The final tally should be up sometime today. At that point, either candidate can request a recount and, considering how close and contentious this race has been, why wouldn't they? After that comes the litigation phase of the election, which could conceivably end in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. That's probably the most obvious reason why Supreme Court justices---or any judges, really---shouldn't be elected.
