Waukesha - In the waning hours of its Supreme Court election recount, Waukesha County certified enough votes Thursday that pushed incumbent Justice David Prosser into the lead.
The Government Accountability Board's unofficial tally on its website, last updated Thursday morning, shows Kloppenburg holding a 2,029 vote lead over Prosser with 99% of the state's votes recounted.
However, the Waukesha County Board of Canvass Thursday reconciled and accepted all of Muskego's votes, which gave Prosser a net gain of 3,814 votes.
Prosser has gained a handful of votes on Kloppenburg during the recounting of Waukesha County's approximately 125,000 votes.
Additional votes in a portion of the City of Waukesha were also finalized, but work on that city's ballots was to continue Friday.
The Board of Canvass is moving its operation to a G55, an Administration Center conference room, Friday to complete its work Friday or possibly Saturday. The recount began April 27.
Once Waukesha County reports its final results, the state board has three business days to certify results. Court challenges, if any, must occur within five business days of that certification.
Statewide, the initial vote canvass showed Prosser winning by 7,316 votes out of nearly 1.5 million cast.
