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."

"There is no country in the industrial world with as great an income disparity between the rich and poor as the United States. And within the US, there is no state where the disparity is more pronounced than New York. New York City was the center of the Great Recession, and today unemployment there stands at 9 percent and is not expected to drop any time soon. At the same time, the financial sector that caused it all has recovered nicely, and the executives are pulling down salaries and perks larger than they did before the recession."
