A Supreme Win for the Working People of Wisconsin
The relatively unkown challenger, Joanne Kloppenburg, just replaced the Republican incumbent Supreme Court judge in Wisconsin. From CBS:
It's unusual for a challenger to unseat an incumbent in a Wisconsin Supreme Court race. And in this case, Kloppenburg, a relatively obscure candidate, was up against a former state House Republican leader with higher name recognition.The Koch-heads in Scott Walker's office have to be listening now:
The last remaining Wisconsin precinct in Lake Mills has apparently split roughly 700 votes in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race down the middle. That split allows JoAnne Kloppenburg to keep a margin of 204 votes above incumbent Justice David Prosser. The next step is very likely a recount.
