David Prosser gained 7,582 votes in Waukesha County, after a major counting error of Brookfield results was detected, County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus announced in a stunning development this afternoon.MJS
Nickolaus says the reason for the big change is that data transmitted from the City of Brookfield was imported but that she failed to save those results to the database. Brookfield cast 14,315 votes on April 5 -- 10,859 of those votes went to Prosser and 3,456 went to JoAnne Kloppenburg.
"The purpose of the canvass is to catch these kind of mistakes," Nickolaus said. She called it human error that is "common in this process." "I apologize," Nickolaus said.
Canvassers around the state were updating their totals Thursday, with Prosser and JoAnne Kloppenburg each making gains.
Those changes pale in comparison to the stunning development in Waukesha County, where Prosser's total increased by 11,008 and Kloppenburg's rose 3,426.
Confirmed: Prosser takes 7,000 vote lead because of Waukesha flub

Hi Matt,
Email's acting up, but you might want to post this. There's a concert tomorrow night in Madison. The concert will be awesome, I stepped into the final rehearsal this evening, and it was excellent. The first link was my recording (from the back of church, so a little echo-ey), and the second is the offical flyer:
[seriously, listen to the recording]

Feel free to post my recording. I unfortunately won't be attending, but I would recommend everyone else to do so! It will be an awesome night!
Almost forgot. Check this out:
