Prosser v. Kloppenburg (WI Supreme Court) Update

With 29% of the vote counted, it appears that the incumbent David Prosser has a slight lead over his opponent Joanne Kloppenburg. Prosser is an incumbent judge while Kloppenburg is a former 'community activist' and current Assistant Attorney General eying to overturn the public sector union changes made last month.

29% Reporting
Prosser: 51%
Kloppenburg: 49%

This is a non-partisan election, but many on the left are pushing against Prosser for his political affiliations. Prosser has been endorsed by both major Democrats and Republicans, including a former Democratic governor of the state.

UPDATE:

Prosser appears to be doing well in three important conservative counties, as the National Review stated as important to a potential win. Milwaukee county is unclear right now:

Madison, Wis. – Republican sources tell me to keep an eye on four counties tonight. Prosser needs to see solid GOP turnout in these areas: Brown County, Racine County, Milwaukee County, and Outagamie County. With Madison’s city clerk predicting 60 percent turnout in the left-leaning capital, a Prosser victory will likely depend on more conservative areas upstate.


This is going to be close.
