Wisconsin Supreme Court Candidate Calls For Statewide Election Recount 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



In news from Wisconsin, Jo Anne Kloppenburg has asked for a statewide
recount of her closely watched race against conservative Supreme Court
Justice David Prosser. Kloppenburg lost the race after a county clerk
with close ties to Prosser found 14,000 uncounted votes. Kloppenburg
also called on the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board to appoint
a special investigator to probe the clerk, Waukesha County Clerk Kathy
Nickolaus.
