| Description | BARABOO - Changes to Sauk County's vote tally following a recent recount aren't likely to influence the final outcome of the state Supreme Court race.
After more than a week spent re-tabulating, Justice David Prosser lost 12 votes and his challenger, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg, lost only one in Sauk County, according to unofficial recount results released Saturday.
Sauk County Clerk Beverly Mielke said the county's Board of Canvassers planned to sign off on the results Monday and send them to the state's Government Accountability Board, where they will be combined with results from other counties.
Prosser held a 7,316-vote lead over Kloppenburg before a statewide recount began April 27. All counties finished the work by Monday's deadline except Waukesha County, which received an extension to May 26.
The biggest swing in Sauk County's recount tally occurred when 18 absentee ballots from the town of Sumpter were thrown out because they did not have witness signatures.
All but one of those ballots came from nuns in the Valley of Our Lady Monastery.
The change resulted in a loss of 14 votes for Prosser and four for Kloppenburg. |
