Kloppenburg picks up about 300 votes but still loses by 7,000.
More than six weeks after the state Supreme Court election, the recount of votes has concluded — and the outcome hasn't changed as incumbent David Prosser defeated challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg by about 7,000 votes. The statewide recount wrapped up on Friday when Waukesha County reported its final totals to the state's Government Accountablity Board. The official totals in that county show Prosser with 92,331 votes, 68 more than were reported in the official canvass report. Kloppenburg had 32,777 votes, 19 more than what what Waukesha County originally reported to the state. If Kloppenburg was looking for hidden votes in Waukesha County, she didn't find them as Prosser actually saw his margin of victory widen there by 49 votes. Unofficial …

The Waukesha County recount process is moving along after receiving an extension to complete counting ballots.

Racine and Waukesha counties also among those with outdated software that lacks memory to hold both original and recount votes.
A three-year delay in federal approval of updated ballot-counting software means the upcoming Supreme Court recount will cost Milwaukee County as much as $500,000 more than it would had the software been approved. The county has had $200,000 in its budget to buy the new software since the purchase was approved in 2008, said Lisa Weiner, elections administrator for Milwaukee County. “We have had to roll over the money for the past three years," Weiner said. "I’m not sure that we will be able to do it again if the software is not approved.” All or parts of 31 of the state’s 72 counties use the same outdated software and are awaiting approval to purchase the same new system. Racine and Waukesha counties are also affected. The cost estimate is…
