Milwaukee County, the last county to complete its canvass has reported its results and it is being reported that Justice David Prosser has a statewide lead over Assistant AG Joanne Kloppenburg of 7,316 votes out of 1,497,330 votes cast.
This makes the difference of less than 0.5 of 1% of the total votes and that will trigger a recall, at the expense of the state, if requested by either candidate. Both candidates have three days to make a request for a recount to the Government Accountability Board.
During the canvass, Waukesha County reported an error in the reporting of vote totals and awarded some 7,500 additional votes to Justice David Prosser pushing him well into the lead over Kloppenburg that at the end of the initial reporting of votes appeared to have had a 200+ vote lead. The reporting error by Waukesha County is being investigated.
