WI: Bad weather not causing election problems

WAUSAU, Wis. — The Latest on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election (all times local):

12:35 p.m.

A spring storm that's dumping snow across central Wisconsin isn't causing any known problems in an election for a new state Supreme Court justice.

Wisconsin Elections Commission spokesman Reid Magney said that as of midday Tuesday the commission was not aware of any access issues being caused by the snow storm.

Liberal candidate Rebecca Dallet is taking on conservative Michael Screnock for a 10-year term on the court. The race has become a partisan slugfest, with national Democrats spending money and giving endorsements in an effort to win the seat over the GOP-backed Screnock.

Turnout in Madison was strong in the morning as a cold rain fell across the reliably liberal capital city. Dane County Clerk Scott McDonell says 14 percent of registered voters had cast ballots by 11 a.m., putting the county on pace for 50 percent turnout. The statewide average is about 21 percent.

she was not going out if snowing but I laid a guilt trip on here. I called the neighbor and he picked up his big truck. my little

Keeping fingers crossed.

2. Cast my ballot (for Dallet) in Dane County

Sun Prairie to be exact. Was voter #489 at 10:30am. Great turnout it seemed! Weather is getting dicey now, I'm hoping most went early before this stuff freezes......

4. Don't get your hopes up. Wisconsin is actually very red outside of Madison

and Milwaukee. The suburban and rural areas of old angry white people always vote and hate democrats. 30 years of only rightwing propaganda radio has worked very well in Wisconsin.
