UPDATE: — The Waukesha County clerk announced that the vote total announced for Tuesday’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race had been mistaken — The new total puts Prosser on a significant path to victory, about 7,500 votes ahead of Kloppenburg. Sad outcome. Will the energy that went into the progressive effort continue?
BREAKING NEWS:
The progressive community, along with unions and citizens committed to American traditions of democracy, defeated Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker’s choice for state Supreme Court. This was critical to winning the “swing” vote that could soon decide whether Walker’s anti-worker bill is illegal.
The margin was 204 votes! And in the last week, members of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and Democracy for America made 96,945 phone calls to targeted voters through our “Call Out The Vote” program.
It’s undeniable: PCCC members made the difference and helped win this important race.

Now we have to finish the job. When we win the upcoming recall elections against Republicans in Wisconsin it will have ripple effects across the nation — showing that working families will hold Republicans accountable for their war on the middle class.
We’re increasing our pro-recall TV ad buy in Wisconsin today to keep up the pressure, and we will keep going as long as folks keep chipping in $3. You can see our ad and donate here.
