Citizen Action of Wisconsin called for a federal investigation on Thursday night regarding Waukesha County's election vote irregularities.

The Waukesha County Clerk admitted they accidentally did not count ballots from the city of Brookfield.

More than 14,000 votes surfaced, most of them for incumbent David Prosser, giving him a significant lead in the tight race for State Supreme Court justice against challenger JoAnne Kloppenburg.

In a statement, Citizen Action of Wisconsin asked that all computer equipment, ballots and any other relevant evidence immediately be impounded.

"In the current political climate in Wisconsin, only an investigation by a U.S. Attorney can be seen by all citizens of the state as independent and above politics," said Robert Kraig, director of Citizen Action of Wisconsin.
