Wisconsin Supreme Court vote tally�in�doubt?

Bear in mind that these numbers are not official:

The latest vote count in the state Supreme Court race in Winnebago County indicates incumbent David Prosser is leading Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg in votes.

A tally compiled by The Associated Press Wednesday and used by news organizations statewide, including the Journal Sentinel, indicated Kloppenburg was leading the race by 204 votes. Figures on Winnebago County's website are now different from those collected by the AP.

Winnebago County's numbers say Prosser received 20,701 votes to Kloppenburg's 18,887. The AP has 19,991 for Prosser to Kloppenburg's 18,421.

The new numbers would give Prosser 244 more votes or a 40-vote lead statewide.

We will update as information becomes available.

Update: As counties in Wisconsin continue to go through their votes, the numbers are jumping all over. We now have:

TPM has just confirmed with the local clerk's offices that Kloppenburg has gained some net votes in some other counties: +113 in Grant County, +30 in Iowa County, and +91 in Portage County. She has also gained +24 in Vernon County.

And this:

In Kenosha,paper ballots altered the unofficial vote count reported to AP. Prosser picked up 33 votes in the Town of Randall and 27 votes on the Town of Bristol after AP collected its tally, a staffer in the county clerk's office said. The canvass there is still ongoing.

A member of the board of canvassers for Waukesha County says David Prosser picked up 200 votes in New Berlin after a clerical error was discovered.

And finally, this:

Door County has completed its canvass with JoAnne Kloppenburg netting 12 votes on David Prosser there.

The County Clerk says Prosser finished with 5,200 votes, which is 17 more than the initial AP tally.

Kloppenburg finished with 4,662, which is 29 more than the initial AP tally.

Stay tuned.
