Wisconsin Supreme Court Candidate Not Conceding Race
Thursday, April 4th, 2019 -- 11:49 AM
(AP) -Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate Lisa Neubauer isn't conceding or saying whether she will seek a recount, despite being down by nearly 6,000 votes based on unofficial results.Neubauer said in a video posted on Facebook on Wednesday that "this race is still too close to call." She says, "We need to make sure that every last vote is counted and that's going to take a little time." Her opponent, Brian Hagedorn, has declared victory in Tuesday's election and said a recount would be pointless.
Neubauer was backed by liberals while Hagedorn had conservative support. A Hagedorn win would keep the state Supreme Court under conservative control until at least 2023. Neubauer would have to pay for a recount because the margin of victory wasn't close enough to have taxpayers foot the bill.
