Wisconsin’s closely watched election for a seat on the state Supreme Court has been upended after a clerk in a Republican-leaning county said she had failed to report some 14,000 votes. With the new votes included, Republican-linked incumbent Justice David Prosser now holds a 7,000-vote lead over union-backed opponent JoAnne Kloppenburg. The news came just one day after Kloppenburg declared victory in the race after initial returns showed she had won by 204 votes. Many have seen the race as a referendum on Gov. Scott Walker’s anti-union agenda. The election clerk, Kathy Nickolaus of Waukesha County, says she had failed to save votes from the town of Brookfield on her computer. According to the Associated Press, Nickolaus received immunity in a 2002 criminal probe into illegal acts by Republican lawmakers in the State Assembly. At the time, Nickolaus worked as a data analyst and computer specialist. Justice Prosser served as a Republican member of the Assembly until his judicial appointment in 1998.
