Wisconsin Senate Recall-a-palooza: 2012 Edition

[cinyc]

They finally got Milwaukee up, so I finished the results from the Supreme Court race.

What's the final margin?  Prosser by about 7,300?  Is it within 0.5%?

[cinyc]

Prosser - 752,323
Kloppenburg - 745,007
Scattering - 1,550

7,316 vote margin. Just under 0.5%.

Thanks.  There will be a free recount if Kloppenburg requests one, then.

Kapanke is challenging the vailidity of the recall petition against him.

Its not like it would matter all that much.  Recounts in WI only cost like $20,000 i think.
Though it would probably make her look like a sore loser, so i don't know.

I'd ask for a recount just to make sure that there was nothing fishy about the results, particularly in Waukesha or Dane counties.  It's close enough and Kloppenburg is well within her rights to ask for one.  Doing so doesn't have to make you look like a sore loser if you do it quietly without demonizing the opposition.

We won! The Democrat is ahead by 900 votes with one precinct left.

It's not even close to over.  I have the Democrat up by 796 votes with two precincts left.  One of the precincts gave Walker a 800 vote margin in 2010... So...

825 doesn't equal 900 - and is closer to my 796 tally.

Anyway, if the missing precinct is the village of Waterford, it went to Walker by 854 and Kleefisch by 809 in this election.  The results for the SD-21 race are still missing.  Regardless of whether the margin is 796 or 825, it should be razor thin and go to absentees and a recount.

It's not in Waterford; it's a precinct in Mount Pleasent that Walker won by less than 100 votes in 2010 (933-853 to be exact).

Lehman will finish election night ahead by at least 650 votes.

I think Waterford isn't in SD-21, despite what Racine County Elections' website says.  That would explain the discrepancy.
