Cowles' vote total adjusted down, but he still wins

By Tom Tolan of the Journal Sentinel

Aug. 12, 2011 9:13 a.m.

Sen. Rob Cowles (R-Allouez) still won his recall election Tuesday, but not by as much as was reported on election night.

The Associated Press reported unofficial results Tuesday night that showed Cowles defeating challenger Nancy Nusbaum of De Pere with 60% of the votes, 27,543 to 18,039.

But the Outagamie County clerk’s office discovered a snafu in their results – somebody entered numbers in the wrong columns for Kaukauna, so Nusbaum was credited with 0 votes for that city, when she actually won it.

Bottom line: Cowles actually got 57.5% of the votes, winning 27,037 to 19,974.

“I’m going to work with our IT department to make sure that doesn’t happen again,” said County Clerk Lori O’Bright.
