Wisconsin Supreme Court election update
They seem to have gone to sleep over in Wisconsin. I did too but now I'm awake.
The current state of the supreme court election is that 3,596 of 3,630 precincts have reported and the incumbent conservative Walker ally is Prosser is ahead of the challenger Kloppenberg by 733,074 to 732489, that is by 585 votes. The precincts which haven't reported are almost all in counties which went heavily for Kloppenberg.
I calculated a crude predictin by extrapolation assuming that votes in precincts which haven't reported will be equal to the county average over precincts which have reported. This requires two approximations, first that the fraction won by Prosser is about the same and second that there are about the same number of votes in each precinct withing a county. Importantly, it is reported that some precincts which have "reported" haven't reported absentee ballots.
Anyway, I extrapolate that Kloppenberg will gain 1857.13 votes on Prosser and so win by 1,272 votes which is about 0.09% of the extrapolated total.
I confidently predict a recount.
