GAB Satisfied With Waukesha County Election Results
The State of Wisconsin Government Accountability Board - the agency tasked with oversight of state elections - has issued a statement stating that there was no major discepency between the Supreme Court election results recorded by the municipalities and those reported by the Waukesha County Board of Canvassers, and that the GAB is satisfied with the offical results. The offical statement can be seen here. The GAB sent a team to Waukesha upon learning of the large error that was made in reporting the unofficial election results that handed the election to incumbent Justice David Prosser to verify that all of the vote totals matched and paperwork was in order. In related news, Justice Prosser has stated that the recount that is almost certain to be asked for, and which would be paid for by the State of Wisconsin because the margin of victory was within .05%, would be an unnecessary waste of time and taxpayer money.
