Milwaukee County finally finished its canvass.
As expected, Justice David Prosser has defeated JoAnne Kloppenburg.
Prosser topped Kloppenburg by 7,316 votes.
That's very close, but not close enough for Kloppenburg to flip the results.
I will be seriously ticked off if Kloppenburg doesn't graciously concede now. She should not stick the taxpayers will the cost of a senseless recount. Sticking it to the taxpayers and dragging this thing out would serve to hurt the Left in the long run.
Don't request a recount.
In any event, my guess is Kloppenburg isn't so "ecstatic" anymore.
Ouch!
The video of this news conference is an instant classic in Wisconsin election history.
"Wisconsin voters have spoken and I am grateful for, and humbled by, their confidence and trust."
"I'm ecstatic. My supporters are ecstatic, and I'm looking forward to becoming a justice on August 1st."
"We ran a campaign that was focused on being positive and respectful and, and winning; and we did win, and we're confident that the margin will hold."
"You know, the numbers showed that we won and we are gratified to have that victory in hand."
What a terrible judgment Kloppenburg made when she declared victory with the minuscule margin of 204 votes!
Congratulations, Justice Prosser!
Ten more years!
