WXOW.com:

MADISON (WKOW) -- In an interview with WKOW27 News, state supreme court justice David Prosser denied meeting with Governor Walker the day after voters decided between Prosser and challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg in a hotly-contested race, but said it was possible he was at the governor's office.

"It is conceivable that during that week, I stopped down to the governor's office," Prosser told WKOW27 News.

Prosser told WKOW27 News any visit would have been to request gubernatorial mementoes for visiting international students.

Unofficial vote totals on the day after the election showed Kloppenburg leading Prosser by 204 votes. Waukesha County clerk Kathy Nickolaus, who was formerly a subordinate to Prosser when Prosser was republican assembly speaker, announced later she failed to include more than 14,000 votes to the unofficial tally. The inclusion of the votes swung the race in Prosser's favor. Prosser's margin is 7,316 votes. A recount began Wednesday at Kloppenburg's request.

In a sworn complaint to the government accountability board seeking a special investigation into Nickolaus' handling of the vote, Kloppenburg campaign manager Melissa Mulliken alleged "...Justice Prosser was observed entering the Governor's Office late in the evening and attending a private, on (sic) -on-one meeting with Governor Scott Walker" on the night after the April 5 election. Mulliken also quotes Walker from that day suggesting votes may turn up "out of the blue."

"I certainly never went beyond the reception person," Prosser told WKOW27 News about his possible presence in the governor's office.

UPDATE: From Wxow.com

 

Prosser explains why he couldn't have been meeting with Walker that day. Find the story here.

 

"Prosser told WKOW27 News the closest time to the April 5 election when he spoke even casually with Walker was April 1, when both Walker and Prosser attended a republican party event in Waukesha County.

 

Prosser said his driver recalls taking Prosser to his Madison condominium, not the state capitol, on the day after the election. Prosser said they traveled from Delafield."
