Statewide Recount Information
The JoAnne Kloppenburg campaign has requested a statewide recount of votes in the April 5 Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

The Government Accountability Board, represented by the Wisconsin Department of Justice, filed a legal action in Dane County Circuit Court Thursday to establish the ground rules for Optech Eagle tabulating equipment used in the statewide recount of votes in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election. Attorneys for the G.A.B. and the candidates reached a stipulated agreement to hand-count ballots in parts of 31 counties that use Optech Eagle scanners.

Board staff will hold a teleconference for County Clerks at 1:30 p.m. Monday,

which will be broadcast live on Wisconsin Eye.
