I recall I spent a lot on Barrett (2012?) and that went down the drain. Like all my contributions in recent years. Am hoping for a win finally.

He's getting about two-thirds of the vote in the county.

Isn't everything in that state turning to shit and they continue to vote for him? No jobs, loss of revenue, education in the toilet. And there they are, voting for that chinless Koch lapdog.

maybe this time, at last.

And I'm from Minnesota, but for some reason (well I can name a few), I have a special "thing" about Walker.

We're having a great night in Minnesota, BTW. Gov, AG (Keith Ellison), Auditor and Sec of State and all that, flipped the MN House, might even pick up another US House seat. And both U.S. senators

17. Precincts in Portage County & La Crosse County, City of Milwaukee Absentee ballots
Wed Nov 7, 2018, 02:49 AM

Depending on where those votes in La Crosse & Portage County, 600 votes could be made up in those places alone. (both have State Universities). And there is the 45,000 City of Milwaukee absentee ballots, which I would think would break heavily for Evers.

It looks like the remaining Brown Co votes trended Dem, which offset the remaining precincts in Sheboygan & Manitowoc.


I don't see any large pool of Walker votes left unless Waukesha County has another spreadsheet error.

Just saw on Twitter from Mary Spicuzza (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter):
About 38,000 of those @cityofmilwaukee absentee ballots went to @Tony4WI, while just about 7,181 went to @ScottWalker. That should mean a win for Evers.

Unless the Republicans still have something up their sleeve.


ADDED That could put Josh Kaul over the top for the AG race as well.

Evers now has a 1000 vote lead (12:58 AM CST). It looks like that may be due to some votes that came in from La Crosse and Portage counties.

Walker may potentially still have a couple thousand votes left scattered across Oconto, Marinette, and a few other sparsely populated northern Wisconsin counties.
