The high court's decisions mean that the appeals court will hear the cases first. A trial that started today will continue.
The state Supreme Court Monday refused to hear Voter ID cases stemming from suits brought by two different plaintiffs. Justices issued one-page opinions on each of the lawsuits from the Milwaukee NAACP and the League of Women Voters, but declined to comment on why they refuse to hear either one, according to WisPolitics.com. A temporary injunction was issued first by one Dane County judge and a permanent injuction was issued by another. There is a trial that started today and now will proceed based on lawsuits filed by the Milwaukee branch of the NAACP and Voces de la Frontera. Both groups claim the law, which requires voters to show a photo ID before they can cast a ballot, disenfranchises minorities, the elderly, the disabled and …

Assistant State Attorney General Joanne Kloppenburg says the anomalies found are not enough to overturn incumbent's 7,000-vote lead.
Assistant State Attorney General Joanne Kloppenburg conceded election Tuesday to incumbent David Prosser Jr., saying the widespread anomalies found during a historic statewide recount were not enough to win a court challenge to change the outcome. Kloppenburg said she called Prosser before her morning press conference to tell him she would not be seeking a court review of the recount, which cut Prosser's approximately 7,300-vote lead by about 300 votes. Prosser won another 10-year term on the state's Supreme Court with slightly more than 50 percent of the 1.5 million votes cast. The court election drew unusual attention after public employee unions sought to oust Prosser after Gov. Scott Walker and Republican state lawmakers passed what …

State Supreme Court candidates campaign manager says group is comparing poll data to voting machine tapes.
Officials from the JoAnne Kloppenburg campaign are taking a look at Waukesha County ballot tapes to make sure there are no inconsistencies. More than one dozen Kloppenburg campaign officials started to review ballots with Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus, who on Thursday announced she made an error and forgot to report more than 14,000 votes, which took away a narrow victory margin from Kloppenburg and gave a stronger lead to incumbent Justice David Prosser. “We’re looking at the polling place data to compare it to the tapes and see if the numbers match up,” said Melissa Mulliken, campaign manager for Kloppenburg. “We’re looking to see if we will find any irregularities.” Staffers reviewed the tapes Friday afternoon and they are …

County clerk failed to properly save the City of Brookfield's votes to her countywide total, an error that could mean victory for Prosser.
In a stunning development that instantly changed the race for the state Supreme Court, a county clerk's error on election night added 7,582 votes for incumbent Justice David Prosser over challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg. The additional votes almost certainly will give Prosser the victory in the heated race for the high court. As of early afternoon Thursday, Kloppenburg had been ahead in the race, according to totals compiled by the Associated Press. The additional votes for Prosser were found after it was determined that all the votes for the City of Brookfield were not included in the initial counts that the county provided to the Associated Press, which has been maintaining a statewide tally of votes. The revised Waukesha County figures …
