What will the recount coust us?

Possibly over a million dollars:


By Kirsten Adshead   Wisconsin Reporter
MADISON — It's going to cost Wisconsin's taxpayers hundreds of  thousands of dollars to more than $1 million to find out who will be the next state Supreme Court justice.
Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg on Wednesday said she will seek a full, statewide recount of the April 5 election in which she is challenging Justice David Prosser for a 10-year term on the bench.

"There are two reasons for this recount,” she said. “One is to verify the outcome. The other is to restore the public trust in the electoral process."

Actually, I see a third reason - to tie up Wisconsin courts and detract from the lefties' attempts to derail our new budget plan as long as possible. After all, it's not THIER money.
