6:39 PM: Winnebago County clerk explains Prosser boost

Clerk Sue Ertmer said Winnebago County is still working on its canvass, but she has discovered several voting machines that didn't report numbers initially. That resulted in a net gain of 244 votes for Justice David Prosser.

Ertmer said four voting machines in the program indicated they had already turned in results. But it was discovered yesterday morning they had not been reported. That resulted in the county website showing Election Night that 100 percent of the vote was in.

After it was discovered, the updated numbers were posted at the county website yesterday afternoon.

The new numbers were 20,701 for Prosser and 18,887 for Kloppenburg. Ertmer said the canvass to finalize the numbers would pick up again tomorrow.
