Recount
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is calling on both Jack Voight and Kathleen Falk to officially throw in the towel today. Why is there such urgency? No one is hurt by waiting for the official canvass to come in. There are errors that do turn up. Like this example from Wispolitics:
But La Crosse County Clerk Marion Naegle said her office found a mistake yesterday that flipped the results. Instead of 20,374 no votes and 20,358 yes votes that were initially reported, the final numbers were 21,172 no votes and 21,324 yes votes.Elections are run by humans that sometimes make mistakes. That is especially so when they have had a really long day like election day. So why not wait for the official results? J.B. Van Hollen and Dawn Marie Sass can go ahead with their planning to be in office. That's their right. But how is the planning harmed by Voight and Falk waiting to see the official results?
Naegle said the Town of Campbell had incorrectly tallied its votes, causing the discrepancy.

It will be interesting to see, with a 9000 vote lead, how close it will turn out. With the State Elections Democratic Party Board on the stick, perhaps we'll see a 10,000 vote Falk flip that nobody saw coming, because it dosen't exist. Both races are far enough apart that a recount, although allowed, should not take place. Throw in the towel now!!!
For what it's worth, I don't see the rush either. Good grief, let the people do their work, then we'll see.
