JoAnne Kloppenburg will announce at 11 a.m. Central that that she's not going to contest the results of the recount in court, the source says.

Democrats had initially seen the recount as a remedy to doubts about one county's late results, but as those doubts faded it was increasingly seen as a costly distraction from intense recall campaigns on both sides of the aisle.

4. She may be a democrat in her private life but the State supreme court race
is for a non-partisan office.

5. Kathy Nickolaus = ELECTION THIEF
Way to do the Walker administration's dirty work, Kathy. I hope it was worth it, preventing the will of the people in your own state.

14. Politico changed the headline and added a correction to the article
stating "The election was non-partisan, so Kloppenburg wasn't technically the Democratic candidate."

A search of Google News shows the original headline:
