In a race that is seen as important for the future of anti-union legislation in Wisconsin, the result of a State Supreme Court election is still uncertain. While the non incumbent was ahead in votes, a clerk said that she had overlooked 14,000 votes in the first count, putting the incumbent ahead. The mistake is being investigated. Many see this election as important, with the incumbent seen as a conservative, and the challenger as a liberal. Their vote will be important in the future of the governor's controversial legislation, which inspired weeks of protest and garnered national attention. The law was challenged in court and has not gone into effect. The governor has said that his first 100 days in office were some of the most productive in the state's history. Both candidates are said to be looking into a recount after the final tally is announced.
