Wisconsin had statewide elections yesterday.
In the biggest race, for Wisconsin Supreme Court justice, with 99 per cent of the vote counted, challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg leads the incumbent David Prosser by only 309 votes out of nearly 1.5 million votes cast.
Kloppenburg recieved 739,381 votes, and Prosser has 739,072 as of 10:40 am Wednesday morning.
There will inevitably be a recount, and to use a Southern term, the elections will then be "lawyered up"
Only once in the past 100 years has an incumbent Supreme Court justice been defeated in an election. Prosser easily won a four-person primary earlier this year. Kloppenburg finished second.
Then, Ayatollah Governor Supreme Dictator Scott Walker and his friends rammed through a law taking away collective bargaining rights for public employees, touching off the well-publicized protests at the state capitol in Madison.
During the campaign, Prosser identified himself as an ally of Walker. The court has a 4-3 conservative bloc.
In some other good news, Walker's other "boy", Jeff Stone, was defeated in a race for Milwaukee County executive, 60 to 40 percent, by Chris Abele.
