MILWAUKEE (AP) - Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice David Prosser raised twice as much cash for his recent recount effort as his challenger did, and the majority of Prosser's money came from a small handful of wealthy donors.

-------------snip-------------

A quirk of state election law allows candidates to receive unlimited sums during recounts. Prosser took full advantage, according to a review of campaign finance records by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

He collected $272,887 for his recall efforts, including three $50,000 donations and two $25,000 donations. Kloppenburg, meanwhile, raised a total of $126,789, of which $10,000 came from her mother-in-law and no other donation exceeded $2,500.

Prosser's donors included John Templeton Jr. of Pennsylvania and his wife, Josephine, who each gave his recount fund $50,000. John Templeton Jr. heads the conservative John Templeton Foundation, which had $1.7 billion in assets at the end of 2009.

1.  MOneY buy votes in WI, what about the Criminal charges?
What is happening with the criminal investigation. Prosser is a low life, repugs finance low life of any caliber. What is happening with the criminal charges and who is keeping the pressure on?? I understand that the WI legislature made it easier to replace the chief judge, so that WALKER and buds can get rid of that LIB at the head of the COURT.
