HELP! This *April 6 *Brookfield Newspaper has printed that the votes were already counted on Apr. 6

[Zorra]

I don't understand; I must be missing something. Can someone please explain this to me?

How did the editor of the Brookfield Patch know on Wed., April 6, what the vote totals were for Brookfield, when the missing votes were not discovered until Thurs. April 7? These vote totals were obviously published way before there was any controversy.

How come the local Brookfield newspaper printed these lost vote totals the day before they were "found"?

Brookfield Gives Prosser Nearly 11K Votes
By Lisa Sink | Email the author | April 6, 2011
Incumbent State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser gets 10,859 votes from city residents or 76 percent against JoAnne Kloppenburg.

As expected, Brookfield city voters ran up a good turnout in the state Supreme Court race and gave incumbent Justice David Prosser nearly 11,000 votes.

Unofficial, unaudited results showed 76 percent of city residents who voted picked Prosser, with 24 percent voting for challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg.

That translated to a city voting turnout of about 53 percent, the city's second-highest for a spring election since 2001, but nowhere near the 79 percent turnout for the gubernatorial race last November.
