Lehman, (D), Wins Recount; GOP Still Blocking The Outcome

We all knew Racine GOP State Senator Van Wanggaard lost to Democratic challenger John Lehman on June 5th.

We all knew that a recount was a superfluous delaying tactic in the face of a margin of more than 800 votes out of more than 70,000 cast.

Wanggaard picked up 15 votes.

GOP and conservatives explained the math last year. There was no way.

We all knew the goal was to deny Lehman his seat and thus Democrats their fresh, one-vote Senate majority - - so now that the recount has declare Lehman the winner and he can be sworn in...

Wanggaard will probably appeal the result to Circuit Court, further delaying the consequence of the voters' choice.

This from the party that yelled loudly about the recount in the Prosser election and that complains via talking points about voter fraud - - but openly ran fake candidates in a series of Senate recall primaries - - and is now openly engaged in election obstruction.

Totally hypocritical.
