I'm piecing this together, but with all but one precinct reporting, it's Kloppenburg by 201 votes.

Then there's the one outstanding precinct, which looks like "With the hand-counted ballots added in, Town of Lake Mills final count is: Prosser - 378, Kloppenburg - 376."

Looks like Kloppenburg by a nose....

JoAnne Kloppenburg issued this statement:

“We owe Justice Prosser our gratitude for his more than 30 years of public service,” Kloppenburg said. “Wisconsin voters have spoken and I am grateful for, and humbled by, their confidence and trust. I will be independent and impartial and I will decide cases based on the facts and the law. As I have traveled the State, people tell me they believe partisan politics do not belong in our Courts. I look forward to bringing new blood to the Supreme Court and focusing my energy on the important work Wisconsin residents elect Supreme Court justices to do.”

The Town of Lake Mills vote count will be certified tomorrow, Thursday.

The recount is expected to take a month.

The winner will take the oath of office on August 1.
