The recount for the WI Supreme Court Race between Justice David Prosser and Joanne Kloppenburg begins Wednesday. Those that would like to help oversee the recount in Trempealeau County, should report to the Trempealeau County Courthouse in Whitehall at the County Board Room tomorrow morning.
The schedule for recount is as follows:
9:00am-Noon (Start)
Noon-1:00 (Lunch Break)
1:00-4:30 (Resume)
The recount will resume on Thursday and Friday, if necessary, at the same times. The Trempealeau County recount should be complete by Friday. The deadline given for the statewide recount is May 9th.
Incumbent Justice David Prosser won the election by 7,316 votes over challenger Joanne Kloppenburg. Prosser declared victory on April 18th after official state canvassing was complete. Kloppenburg decided to request a taxpayer funded recount. The cost of this recount is estimated to be a minimum of $575,000. The largest number of votes ever recovered during a recount in Wisconsin was 489.
