Story of the day: Republicans showed up in suburban Milwaukee but not in rural northern Wisconsin.

They need high turnout in *both* to win.

Looking more like Karofsky (D) is going to win this thing

Strange things have happened in Waukesha County in past elections, always favoring the Repukes.

BREAKING: Computer Error Could Give Prosser 7,381 More Votes, Victory
April 7, 2011 5:29 P.M. By Christian Schneider
After Tuesday night's Wisconsin Supreme Court election, a computer error in heavily Republican Waukesha County failed to send election results for the entire City of Brookfield to the Associated Press. The error, revealed today, would give incumbent Supreme Court Justice David Prosser a net 7,381 votes against his challenger, attorney Joanne Kloppenburg. On Wednesday, Kloppenburg declared victory after the AP reported she finished the election with a 204-vote lead, out of nearly 1.5 million votes cast.

On election night, AP results showed a turnout of 110,000 voters in Waukesha County - well short of the 180,000 voters that turned out last November, and 42 percent of the county's total turnout. By comparison, nearly 90 percent of Dane County voters who cast a ballot in November turned out to vote for Kloppenburg.

Prior to the election, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus was heavily criticized for her decision to keep the county results on an antiquated personal computer, rather than upgrade to a new data system being utilized statewide. Nickolaus cited security concerns for keeping the data herself - yet when she reported the data, it did not include the City of Brookfield, whose residents cast nearly 14,000 votes.

Throughout the day Thursday, official canvass numbers flipped the lead back and forth between Prosser and Kloppenburg. While many believed a recount was inevitable, the addition of the Brookfield votes for Prosser could push the justice's lead beyond the legal threshold that would trigger an automatic recount. Under state law, Kloppenburg could still ask for a recount up to three days after the official canvass, but would have to pay for it herself.

22. Marathon, which the conservative judge won by 18 points last year is now 50/50 split WOW

Another important northern county coming in with results favorable to Karofsky: Marathon, which the conservative judge won by 18 points last year. It’s much closer this year.

[sunonmars]

23. She's now 2K in the lead again, from a 12K deficit.

[sunonmars]

24. She's tying him in conservative counties - read this

The conservative judge won in 2019 with blowout margins in the counties around Green Bay. It appears closer there tonight. Outagamie County is nearly tied with 42% reporting
