State Supreme Court Justice David Prosser emerged as the winner Friday over challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg in an election that drew national attention because of the fight over collective bargaining and a vote tallying error in Waukesha County following initial results that showed Kloppenburg leading the race.

A statewide canvass of vote totals of the state's 72 counties finalized Friday afternoon has Prosser beating Kloppenburg, an assistant attorney general, by 7,316 votes. The final canvass was completed 10 days after the election.

The deadline for calling for a recount is 5 p.m. Wednesday.

The margin is within the limit that would allow Kloppenburg to request a free, statewide recount.
