A waste of time? - JSOnline
"So was it worth it? Probably not. As it appeared from the beginning, it appears even more so now that nothing will change in the election for state Supreme Court.
With 71 counties recounted — Waukesha County has until May 26 to finish — JoAnne Kloppenburg has reduced David Prosser’s 7,316 vote lead by 355 votes. She won’t pick up the rest in Waukesha County. (The recount Monday at the Waukesha County Courthouse is pictured above.)
Kloppenburg had every right to request the recount, but given the cost and the political fallout, it would have been better had she graciously accepted the loss. And — although again she has every right to do so — it would be better if she didn’t challenge the outcome in court, which it appears she will do. In fact, it appears the recount was mere preamble to the court challenge. This is no way to run an election.
What do you think? Let us know. To be considered for publication as a letter to the editor, e-mail your opinion to the Journal Sentinel editorial department."Link to Article | Read-Leave Comments - JSOnline

"The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, which endorsed David Prosser, is now editorializing about the recount being a "waste of time." They are asking for opinions from readers. You know the value of this recount...let the Journal Sentinel know, too, by sending a letter or email to them. Instructions at http://www.jsonline.com/general/30627794.html

Wis. Supreme Court Recount Extended In Waukesha County | TPMDC
Wis. Supreme Court Recount Extended In Waukesha County | TPMDC
The Wisconsin Supreme Court recount deadline is now being extended, from its original May 9 to May 26, due to slowness in one county -- Waukesha County, which has been at the center of the vote-counting controversies in the race between conservative incumbent Justice David Prosser and liberal-backed challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg.

TODAY | Monday, May 9th | Waukesha Election Fraud Protest
""We are finding significant anomalies, including chain of custody and missing ballots, that we need to shine light on," Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken told The BRAD BLOG earlier this week, while we were working on our previous story. The anomalies she was referring to, given where today's unsecured ballots are said to come from, have gotten much more "significant" in the past few hours..." " The Brad Blog

Chain of custody violations continue to emerge, particularly in Waukesha, during state Supreme Court election 'recount'
ALSO: $25,000 reward offered for evidence of WI election tampering...
Five out of six bags of ballots from first batch to be counted out of the City of Brookfield in Waukesha County, WI, today were discovered "almost wide open" during Day 9 of the statewide Supreme Court election "recount." The bags were open and unsealed, according to both photographic evidence and an eye-witnesses account from the counting room. (Lastest updates and | exclusive photos here.)
Additonal Media Coverage http://www.jsonline.mobi/more/news/politics/121325689.htm
""Hotz said poorly sealed bags or torn bags appear to be a common problem, but they were evident on five of six Brookfield bags that were counted first thing Thursday. He objected to the counting of those ballots where bags appeared to be open.
Brandon O'Bryon, representing Justice David Prosser, objected to the objection, saying Brookfield voters would be disenfranchised if their votes weren't counted." jsonline

Kloppenburg Recall Campaign Calls in Attorney to Monitor Recount | Today's TMJ4 - Milwaukee, Wisconsin News, Weather, Sports, WTMJ | Local News
Posted by | Heidi Maria Brown
WAUKESHA--On Friday, day three of the statewide recount of the Supreme Court race, the Kloppenburg recall effort called in their attorney, Michael Maistelman, to monitor the recount in Waukesha County.
Earlier Friday a clerk discovered that one of the bags full of ballots from the Town of Delafield was not properly sealed. The Kloppenburg campaign said that means there was the possibility that people could have had access to the bag of ballots. On Thursday, a different bag containing hundreds of ballots wasn't recorded on the poll inspector's log. That bag was also from the Town of Delafield.
Despite that, poll officials promise the numbers all added up to those obtained on election night. Still, the Kloppenburg campaign sent Maistelman to oversee the recount."Full Article | WTMJ | Local News

The Actual Petition:
Dear Ms. Kloppenburg:
We, the undersigned, urge you to demand a full, statewide recount of the WI Supreme Court race. It is important to voters in WI and across the United States that the winner of the Supreme Court race won fair and square.
There is too much corruption in our political system. Therefore it is important to us all to know who really did win in Wisconsin. Please demand the state conduct a full, statewide recount of all ballots cast in the April 5, 2011 WI Supreme Court race.
Thank you for running and for demanding the recount as a service to the public!!

Target: To WI citizens & all citizens in USA concerned with justice
Sponsored by: Buzz Davis, Stoughton, WI - Progressive activist & advocate for candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg
WI Supreme Court candidate JoAnne Kloppenburg has until close of business on Wednesday, April 20, 2011, to request a statewide, full recount of all ballots cast in the April 5th Supreme Court election.
The race was close. With a total of approximately 1.5 million votes cast, Mr. Prosser, the conservative, pro-business incumbent, is in the lead by less than half of one percent of the vote (0.5%).
The suspicious handling of votes in conservative Waukesha county is one matter of concern to all who fight for fair elections. But the other issue is this: people do make mistakes in filling out their ballots. When a race is this close the only way to determine who absolutely won is to review all ballots cast with human eyes and resolve any disputes over ballots that are questionable.
As a candidate I have been through one recount. As a candidate's representative I have been through another recount. Mistakes happen in completing ballots. When in doubt and in very close races the only way to obtain certainty, as to who won "fair and square," is to conduct a full recount.
Therefore please consider signing this petition to urge Ms. Kloppenburg to demand a statewide recount. Petition results will be provided to Ms. Kloppenburg late Wednesday afternoon, April 20th. Thank you very much!Sign Here - The Petition Site

YouTube - HUMAN ERROR OR FOUL PLAY IN WISCONSIN RACE ?
Just yesterday JoAnne Kloppenburg was projected the winner by the AP, by 200 votes against Justice David Prosser, in what was seen as proxy race . That is until a County Clerk named Kathy Nickolaus managed to misplace a whole town's votes . And this town happened to be in a largely Republican district . This is unprecedented in this town and Kathy Nickolaus has been the subject of many complaints from other Waukesha officials on how she handles elections and keeps public information to herself outside the official county system where others can verify it . In addition, other suspicious questions are raised. (1) The suspicions due to the fact that the " discovery " not only swung the election but also put the race just barely past the amount needed to trigger a state-financed recount . (2) Nickolaus waited 24 hours to report the discovery . This makes it harder it harder to challenge and audit the integrity of the vote . (3) The partisan political history of Nickolaus and complaints . (4) Posser is a former boss of Nickolaus . Although this could just be in fact human error, there are far to many suspicious coincidences for there not to be an investigation . The group Citizen Action of Wisconsin is calling for an immediate federal investigation and impoundment of all computer equipment, ballots, and other relevant evidence needed to verify a fair vote count in Waukesha County. Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken, has started the process hiring the national law firm Perkins Coie -- which has an office in Madison, Wis. For further information use link below .

High-profile lawyers retained for possible Supreme Court recount
High-profile lawyers retained for possible Supreme Court recount
Posted on Facebook by: 540,000 To See Scott Walker out of WI, January 2012
Kloppenburg's campaign is working with Marc Elias, an attorney with Perkins Coie, a Washington D.C.-based firm with an office in downtown Madison. Elias is the same attorney who represented Democratic challenger Al Franken in his eight-month epic recount battle with incumbent Republican Norm Coleman. Franken eventually prevailed, winning his U.S. Senate seat by 312 votes.

No Winner Yet in Wisconsin Supreme Court Election
www.nytimes.com
A contest for the Wisconsin Supreme Court that some voters viewed as a referendum on the state’s Republican leaders and their cuts to collective bargaining rights remained in a virtual tie Wednesday morning....
"Until emotions boiled over in the state capital weeks ago on questions over labor unions, public workers and budget cutting, Justice David T. Prosser, who was seen by some as part of a conservative majority on the court, had been widely expected to coast to a second 10-year term.
But election officials reported an extremely tight race as Tuesday night wore on, with a higher than expected turnout: Justice Prosser was in a dead heat with JoAnne Kloppenburg, an assistant attorney general who was not widely known through the state before this race. With all but a few of the state’s voting districts reported Wednesday morning, Ms. Kloppenburg was leading by 311 votes among more than 1.4 million cast. The leader had flipped again and again throughout the night on Tuesday."
