Kloppenburg Files for Recount

     In a move that was widely expected, Assistant Attorney General Joanne Kloppenburg officially asked today for a recount of the results of the recent election for Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice, which saw her lose by approximately 7,000 votes out of almost 1.5 million cast.  Since the results were closer than 0.5% of the total votes cast, the state will pay the cost of the recount, which incumbent and victor David Prosser called a waste of time and money.
