p.s. Don't forget to refresh the link every now and again after they start posting there after the polls close at 8pm central time.

[tanyev]

1. I wonder why they think it's a good idea to put the candidate's names in a grey bar w/white font?

Talking Points Memo will also be following the race, although not nearly as detailed as the AP link.

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/news/scoreboard.php

[zinnisking]

5. Thanks! I couldn't find their names 'til I saw your post

and went back to the site and tilted my laptop screen.

[tanyev]

8. Yeah, it took me awhile, too. Really poor design.

[HereSince1628]

http://elections.todaystmj4.com/G8805.htm

That's Chris Larson's old seat.

Go Jason!!!

[gateley]

7. Well so far Jason is tied for the lead!

:7

Good luck, Jason! :patriot:

[PeaceNikki]

12. lol, indeed.

The Milwaukee County Exec race is of great interest as well. That's Walker's previous job.

http://elections.todaystmj4.com/G8802.htm

Abele is our guy.

[aquart]

27. What's up with Chippewa?

[Jackpine Radical]

135. Damn good question.

I guess my vote wasn't enough. But hang in there--it ain't over til it's over.

[highplainsdem]

9. 1st returns from Dane County - 60% for Kloppenburg, 40% for Prosser

[Liberal_in_LA]

10. whooo hooo!

[highplainsdem]

11. Less than 700 votes, very early returns

[highplainsdem]

13. Douglas County, 58% for Kloppenburg, 42% Prosser - 289 votes total

[Tx4obama]

17. But that is only one of thirty-one precincts in that county, so far. n/t

[PeaceNikki]

14. Milwaukee and Dane are the 2 to watch.

[tpsbmam]

75. Milwaukee is sucking right now -- 64% DP to 36% JK. It's early though...... nt

[elleng]

15. She's got it!

[highplainsdem]

16. More votes in from Dane County, now 63% Kloppenburg

[blaze]

19. 63%? Damn nt

[QED]

18. On Wisconsin....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOYus1BE7jk&feature=related

On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Plunge right through that line!
Run the ball clear down the field,
A touchdown sure this time. (U rah rah)
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Fight on for her fame
Fight! Fellows! - fight, fight, fight!
We'll win this game.

On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Stand up, Badgers, sing!
"Forward" is our driving spirit,
Loyal voices ring.
On, Wisconsin! On, Wisconsin!
Raise her glowing flame
Stand, Fellows, let us now
Salute her name!

[highplainsdem]

20. Columbia County, 55% Kloppenburg, with about 4500 votes counted

[PeaceNikki]

22. Here comes Jefferson to even the playing field.

[aquart]

21. Thank you!

[SDuderstadt]

23. Any estimate of the time the vote will be....

totally tabulated?

[PeaceNikki]

24. Tomorrow. Projected winner should be by 10?

:shrug:

[SDuderstadt]

37. Are you seeing anything more detailed on...

your local coverage?

[PeaceNikki]

39. Nope. Watching ticker on local NBC affiliate.

Results here: http://elections.todaystmj4.com/

[tpsbmam]

83. He's ahead by a nose now....aside from it being early, are there more liberal-leaning

counties that haven't been accounted for yet?

[PeaceNikki]

85. Dane and Milwaukee have a loooong way to go.

[highplainsdem]

25. Chippewa County, Prosser 55%

[highplainsdem]

26. Jefferson County -- where is that? Prosser 63%

[PeaceNikki]

28. Just west of Waukesha. Way red, obvs.

[highplainsdem]

32. Thanks! I was shocked to see that much support for Prosser, after the other results.

[PeaceNikki]

33. There are a few pockets... that's one.

[FreeState]

30. Probably outlying areas

But you never know, it's gotten a bit conservative here lately...

[FreeState]

139. Flipped now 51% for Joanne Kloppenburg

Chippewa 35/46 4,855
49% 4,986
51%

[socialist_n_TN]

29. It's funny, but I'm as emotionally invested in this race.........

(Wisconsin Supreme Court) as I have been in even Tennessee local races. Go Ms Kloppenburg!

[tpsbmam]

79. I was just thinking the same thing. nt

[Hawaii Hiker]

31. What are the big democratic counties in WI?...

[PeaceNikki]

35. Dane and Milwaukee County is where to look

[Hawaii Hiker]

42. Which county(ies) make up Madison?

[PeaceNikki]

47. Madison is in Dane

[iwishiwas]

104. Look to Dodge also -lots of unions, also Racine County and also

look at Fond du lac which is Hopper land-they should all be leaning for JoAnn

[spooky3]

256. so far, the results for Dodge/Racine are heavily Repub - nothing yet for FDL

[highplainsdem]

34. Kenosha, 64% Prosser

[L. Coyote]

36. 60/3630 precincts - Prosser 12,801 = 47% vs. Kloppenburg 14,582 = 53%

60/3630 precincts
Prosser 12,801 = 47%
Kloppenburg 14,582 = 53%

[highplainsdem]

38. Just heard on the Rachel Maddow show that some precincts ran out of ballots.

[highplainsdem]

41. Sauk, 58% Kloppenburg.

[City Lights]

43. Thanks!

:hi:

[highplainsdem]

44. Brown, 58% Prosser.

[a kennedy]

179. D*mn home of the World Champion Packers....

just had to get that in.....but it's terribly red. Ugh.

[highplainsdem]

46. Outagamie, 54% Prosser.

[Poiuyt]

103. You have to remember that Prosser is from Outagamie Ct.

[highplainsdem]

48. Current total 52% Kloppenburg.

[FreeState]

49. Milwaukee 3/486 1,759 64% Prosser

Milwaukee 3/486 1,759

50. Are there rigged touch screen voting machines in Wisconsin? n/t

[highplainsdem]

51. Milwaukee, 64% Prosser.

[Scuba]

57. 3 of 486 districts. n/t

[aquart]

52. 50-50?????

[golddigger]

54. I saw that. The rigging has started.

[Tx4obama]

55. It's still early. Don't panic yet. n/t

[highplainsdem]

56. Mostly Brown County's influence, I think.

[FreeState]

62. Yep they are over 50% in so far n/t

[highplainsdem]

53. Total now at 50-50, Kloppenburg 55,415, Prosser 55,300

[senseandsensibility]

58. Is Milwaukee conservative?

I don't know much (okay, anything) about WI.

[cali]

59. no, but she'll need a big voter turn out there.

[Goblinmonger]

61. Not as a whole, no.

Don't know which small handful of districts have reported. There are very red suburbs. Milwaukee and Dane (Madison) counties need to go strong for Kloppenberg to offset the red counties.

[yourout]

60. 50-50 with almost all of Milwaukee yet to report and 90% of Dane yet to report.

50-50 with mostly rural reporting so far bodes very well.

[highplainsdem]

64. Prosser's slight lead now seems to be from the first results from Marathon County.

[socialist_n_TN]

65. OK that is what I wanted to see.......

Somebody who knows the area talking about which counties are which. So it's just the rural counties that are influencing the race now?

[Jackpine Radical]

130. Waukesha Co. was about 3-1 Prosser. It's a suburb of Milw.

Very conservative, voting true to form. Milw. has a relatively large blue-collar & black population, typically votes liberal overall. They had a long succession of Socialist mayors. (Google Frank Zeidler sometime). Also watch some of the northern counties, Douglas in particular. That's where Superior is & it has always been very far left (Scandinavian socialists).

[itsrobert]

63. J. Kloppenburg back in lead

67,252
50% 67,454

[Robbins]

66. Great

I am pulling for the Dem to win the supreme court seat.

[Tx4obama]

68. Yes we are ALL pulling for Kloppenburg to win :) n/t

[FreeState]

69. It's going back and forth now by a few hundred votes

Won't change much until the big counties start reporting...

[zinnisking]

67. Does Fond du Lac lean progressive?

Dog I hope so.

I am a few miles from the edge of Fond du Lac, I should know this. I thought I remember that they were somewhat left.

Rachel reported that the lines in Fond du Lac were so long they ran out of ballots.

edit: spelling

[yourout]

70. Not sure about Fondulac but the West Bend area is largely red.

[zinnisking]

82. Didn't know that.

I have family there. What county is West Bend?

[itsrobert]

71. Isn't that Randy "Pervert" Hopper's district?

?

[zinnisking]

78. You're right, it is.

[Viking12]

109. Fond du Lac is traditional pretty even, but there are FIVE prisons there. Guards are PISSED

My sources tell me that the normally strongly red leaning prison guards have flipped en mas: could be pivotal county.

[spooky3]

242. good - I wish AP would report their results though!

[Viking12]

280. Word is that polls were held open late becuase they had to print more ballots

Thus delaying results...

[Mz Pip]

72. This is facinating

I cannot ever remember a time when the whole country was watching the returns of a particular State's judicial election.

It just reinforces how nasty and polarizing our politics have become. We are supposed to have and independant Judiciary. Those days are gone.

[Old and In the Way]

80. I hear yeah....

I think this is the 1st clear referendum on Republican governance coming out of the 2010 elections. I don't know how to read these results, but if Prosser wins, Republicans will assume they have a mandate to create one party rule. OTOH, if our side wins, it's going to have to be huge to be meaningful.

[Mz Pip]

89. It's true

Both sides are looking at this race as some kind of finger in the wind. The National Review had an article that was posted here and the comments pretty much confirmed it. The pro Walker teabaggers see it as another nail in the coffin of Unions. The progressive/liberals see it as a wake up call to the union supporters.

It's all about GOTV. Winners show up at the polls so we'll see who was motivated the most.

Either way it goes, it will be perceived as a huge win.

[highplainsdem]

73. There's a 1,000-vote difference between TPM and the AP page on Kloppenburg's total.

Both pages show Prosser with 71,736, but AP has Kloppenburg with 71,502, and TPM has her with 72,502.

[highplainsdem]

76. Vote total's changed, and now both pages agree.

[Tx4obama]

77. Probably a typo. n/t

[FreeState]

74. Brown County bump - total now statewide 51% Prosser

Total 344/3630 101,156
51% 97,422
49%

[iwishiwas]

81. Racine and Dodge County--several union prisons still at 0.

[mucifer]

86. are those dem counties?

[iwishiwas]

88. Lots of unions in both.

[Tx4obama]

84. Anyone know how many registered voters there are in Wisconsin? n/t

[FreeState]

92. In 2008 there were 3,437,208

http://elections.state.wi.us/docview.asp?docid=15114&locid=47

2009 3,469,443

http://elections.state.wi.us/docview.asp?docid=17017&locid=47

[Tx4obama]

105. Thanks for the info :) n/t

[Tx4obama]

87. The Ed Show is doing a segment now on the election.

They are saying that most are RURAL results are coming in now.

[socialist_n_TN]

90. What's up with Milwaukee? It's been stuck on 3 precincts

reported for a while yet.

[Iris]

94. you know, there was a time when we'd have to go to bed and learn the results when we woke up!

lol! I've been thinking the same thing as you!

[mucifer]

91. just got a tinsy bit closer 3,000 vote difference now

[iwishiwas]

93. Fond du Lac county is at 0. They will go for Joanne as will Dodge and Racine counties.

[Snoutport]

95. i hope so! this is scary!!!

[iwishiwas]

100. yes, but these union pockets may show us the light yet.

[TheOther95Percent]

107. Interesting

Kloppenberg running 4% better than the last Democratic governor in Brown County. Monroe County too, in the preliminary results, Kloppenburg is running better than the 2010 Democratic candidate.

[sonias]

110. Thanks!

This helps a lot!

:thumbsup:

[TheOther95Percent]

138. Kloppenberg - Rural Vote - Bigger % for Joanne than 11/2010

L. Coyote posted the Democratic candidates percentage of the vote by county. I've checked 4 or 5 of the counties where the Democratic candidate lost in November 2010 against how our candidate is running tonight.

She's doing significantly better in these counties:

Barron
Brown
Columbia
Monroe
Oneida

Nights like these I wished I was at work where I have double monitors so I keep cross-checking. I am very optimistic.

[mucifer]

97. so many tiny counties with no votes counted. This is a nailbiter

[Tx4obama]

98. Abele is ahead of Stone now!

Stone is the Walker clone.

Abele 61%
Stone 39%
27% reporting.

[pscot]

99. Prosser is ahead by 1700 votes

with 17% counted at 9:10 eastern.

[iwishiwas]

101. 446 of 3,630 wards reporting at Madison.com

[highplainsdem]

102. Milwaukee with 51 precincts of 486, now 62% for Kloppenburg!

[iwishiwas]

117. Yabba dappa doooooooooooooo

[BlueDemKev]

106. Prosser Up by 7,000+ with 23% of precincts in

Not lost, but not looking so good, either.

[BlueDemKev]

108. Make that 8,000 votes

@%#$ !!!!

[Bumblebee]

112. I am sure it's too close for some nerves -- but almost lost?!!

With Dane and Milwaukee still with many more precincts uncounted than counted? Do you enjoy seeding panic?

[BlueDemKev]

114. Nah...just naturally uptight....

...I WANT TO BEAT THESE TEA-BAGGERS SO BADLY IT HURTS!!!! :mad:

[Bumblebee]

121. I know, and we all like lopsided victories in cases like that

but that's not how it is. Abele, on the other hand, is winning HUGE, so here is your lopsided gratification.

[yellowcanine]

111. Way too early for pessimism.

[dhill926]

113. indeed.......

Dane and Milwaukee counties should be HUGE for K.

[BlueDemKev]

115. Dane & Milwaukee Counties

Neither of these counties have had any additional precincts report in for over half an hour. What's taking so long?

[yourout]

119. Patience......good things come to those who wait.

[BlueDemKev]

116. Comment Removed

[highplainsdem]

118. It looks as though Prosser's leading in more rural counties whose votes are mostly counted already.

So I expect Kloppenburg to be ahead soon.

[Tx4obama]

124. It better be 'real' soon! ;) n/t

[highplainsdem]

126. Prosser's lead is narrowing. :)

[Viking12]

125. Chill. No results from blue urban and urban-'ish' areas

Cities of Milwaukee, Madison, Oshkosh, haven't reported. The entire county of Fond Du Lac still hasn't reported (trust me it will go Kloppneburg strongly)..

[socialist_n_TN]

120. Man! Dane and Milwaukee counties..........

sure seem to report slowly.

[Tx4obama]

127. They ran out of ballots in Milwaukee, they said earlier. n/t

[itsrobert]

128. Bigger turnout, takes longer to count

sounds good.

[yourout]

133. I am amazed at how many assholes live in Waukesha county.

[Bumblebee]

147. This is the one that will keep it close

since it's fairly big and the margins are so huge, larger than in Dane and Milwaukee...

[iwishiwas]

122. K and R

[highplainsdem]

123. Nearly a quarter of Milwaukee's precincts reporting now, Kloppenburg 63%

[Robbins]

131. Kloppenburg

She Is picking up votes.back to 50/50 after going to Prosser 51/49.Now only 3,000 votes for Prosser after being ahead by 8,000.

On Ed show they are showing A lot of Democratic areas still haven't been counted.

This probally would have been a easy Prosser win If not for Walker and all his antiUnion moves.

[yourout]

Walker may have turned this state back to solid blue for the next decade.

[yellowcanine]

137. Right. Unusual for incumbent judge races to even be close.

[yellowcanine]

129. Dane coming in now. 50/50 again.

[Old and In the Way]

136. From a 12K lead to under 3K in 5 minutes.

However this turns out, it boggles my mind that this many people in Wisconsin approve what the Republicans have in store for us. Do they think they're immune from the consequences?

[highplainsdem]

141. Prosser's lead is under 2K now.

[Tx4obama]

132. On Ed Show they just said 'maybe' 1.5 million voters. n/t

[highplainsdem]

134. John Nichols on The Ed Show just mentioned Dane, Milwaukee, La Crosse.

Still mostly unreported, and those should be mostly for Kloppenburg (with the exception of some Milwaukee suburbs).

[Tx4obama]

146. I think he will lose by more than 50K. Wait till the blue votes start gushing in :) n/t

Something in the water there? Really lopsided in his favor. Is this his home district?

169. It won't change today, I assure you.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

201. You know what gets me about these "known" red areas...

(And I do not doubt at all your inside knowledge of the Waukesha people and area) but it reminds me of Florida's "Dixiecrat" counties. I think the thugs just USED and FED the public perception of that area being "red" so they could flip and pad and skim votes and nobody would question the results. In that case, i don't believe Florida is as red as they tell us it is.

[PeaceNikki]

240. Well, my neighbors and co-workers are mostly Republicans, so...

[Old and In the Way]

174. 1/2 way there...50% reporting 50/50

A little less than 50% of Milwaukee's votes in...

[BlueDemKev]

180. Waukesha may sink us

Barely 1/4 of the precincts from that red hotbed are in, and and P's ahead by almost 40,000 votes there. If we lose, it'll be because of Waukesha.

[Sky Masterson]

183. 436,673 440,494 woot!

[Dawson Leery]

188. Dane County is looking very strong.

[mucifer]

199. Oh Shit!

[FreeState]

202. It's bouncing around

But it looks like there are about 100+ more dem precincts to be counted han republican....

[mucifer]

200. She's down by 10,000

[BlueDemKev]

205. And....

...Waukesha still has nearly 75% of its precincts unreported. *SIGH*

[dhill926]

203. this sure beats the game last night ha ha......

fingers crossed.

[yellowcanine]

214. 300 precincts out in Milwaukee and Dane

[aaaaaa5a]

204. That last round was not a good update.

The good news (or sliver lining) is that the number precincts reporting out of Milwaukee did not change.

[mucifer]

207. yes but waukesha still has 100 to be counted

[PeaceNikki]

212. Waukesha's spread won't shift much.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

208. and Madison's went up. Still I may puke

[BadgerKid]

206. based on the 10:12pm ratios

there would be this many more Kloppenburg votes:

Milwaukee 34637
Dane 85844
Waukesha -153715

NET -33234

Hoping for a Dem surge and help from the rural counties.

[yourout]

215. Disappointed with the number of votes from Milwaukee County based on over 1/2 the precincts in.

Not a great turnout in the City.

[BlueDemKev]

220. Only leading by 16,000 votes in Milwaukee?

That sucks.

[itsrobert]

219. I am calling this for Kloppenburg

It's in the bag.

[BadgerKid]

221. based on the 10:18pm ratios

Milwaukee 28027
Dane 85844
Waukesha -152494

NET -38623 Kloppenburg

Add to that that Kloppenburg is already down in total count 17,965 as of 10:18 pm would put her down ~55,000 votes.

[Blaq Dem]

235. It's tight. Kloppenburg pulls ahead by an inch!

232. Bye-Bye Troll

[aquart]

251. Thank you for your concern.

[PeaceNikki]

331. You realize it's almost unheard of for a sitting SC judge to lose, right?

And that the Milwaukee County seat held by the now Gov was just VERY handily won by the liberal?

The race isn't called yet, but even if it is, it's almost unprecedented for a sitting SC judge to lose.

[aaaaaa5a]

216. Whats wrong with rural districts?

Why are those the most likely to be affected by GOP policy, the most likely to vote for it.

[mucifer]

226. WIsconsin like most states is diverse. There are some neo nazi parts to it.

There are some great parts, too. Some people you can't reason with too easy.

[BlueDemKev]

231. If you can figure that one out.....

...we'll never lose another election!

[yourout]

234. The rural districts are not the problem tonight.....Waukesha and Washington countys are.

The rural vote has been better than expected but the Milwaukee turnout seems low to me.

[Bozita]

218. Looks like an all-nighter

Here for the duration

[highplainsdem]

224. Did anyone notice where that big jump in Prosser's lead came from?

[shraby]

238. It's back to 1400 apart now...she's ahead

Maybe someone enter the wrong numbers?

[cascadiance]

225. Kloppenburg back in the lead again...

Joanne Kloppenburg 515,891 (50%), David Prosser 514,475 (50%)
66% reporting...

[yellowcanine]

228. Dane just kicked ass again.

[Bravo Zulu]

10:24 PM CST - Prosser 514,475/Kloppenburg 515,891

[Bravo Zulu]

237. Thanks!

[Lyric]

239. Milwaukee's numbers just went up...and Prosser is ahead again by 1000.

That makes me...uneasy. But Dane is really pulling through. Thank God for Dane County.

[mucifer]

233. waukesha still has many votes to come in.

[joeglow3]

283. Those numbers make no sense.

Their population in 2008 was 380,000. AP shows 85,000 voting with about 25% voting. Those certainly don't make sense.

[itsrobert]

236. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! KROP TAKES LEAD!

BOOM!

[aaaaaa5a]

241. We now LEAD BY A 1,000 VOTES,

What is interesting is that Milwaukee still hasn't moved. Only 284/486 have reported. Its been like that for a while. This movement back and forth over the last 2 reports have nothing to do with Milwaukee.

[Lyric]

244. Actually we're down by 1000. And Milwaukee's numbers are moving.

305/486 right now.

[aaaaaa5a]

249. My bad. I just updated my page.

Worse, our % if the vote in Milwaukee keeps going down.

[BlueDemKev]

243. The problem is.....

....that Waukesha's precinct numbers haven't moved in the last 20 minutes or so. They still only have 52 of 198 their precincts reporting, while Dane County has reported 182 of its 248 precincts.

[mucifer]

245. that's what I've been saying and I get flamed for it.

[yourout]

246. Yep......big problem.

[Lyric]

248. Dane has about 100,000 more people than Waukesha.

Not sure how many more registered voters, but the point is that Dane is going to more than offset Waukesha. What we need are some stronger numbers from Milwaukee.

[itsrobert]

250. Thanks for some actual facts

Tired of the chicken littles who think the know how elections work.

[BlueDemKev]

258. Milwaukee

How the f--- is Prosser polling at 45% in Milwaukee?? I thought this was supposed to be our huge liberal bastion, second only to Dane!?!

So this could take a while.

[shraby]

254. There are several counties that haven't reported at all.

Wonder why that is?

[yourout]

255. Odd that Fond du lac has zero out of 77 precincts in yet.

[Bozita]

259. Wasn't that one of the counties that ran out of ballots?

Might still not be closed.

[BlueDemKev]

269. Yeah, I think so

[Takket]

285. Milwaukee

2/3 of milwaukee has reported. if you extrapolate the last third and continue to give Kloppenburg 55%, that means that she will get about 37000 more votes to bad guy's 30000, increasing her lead by 7000 just in milwaukee

[MrsCorleone]

260. There are 10 counties that still have 0% reporting.

Would some of the locals be so kind and give some insight on the demographics of the following?

Ashland

Fond du Lac

Green Lake
Langlade
Pepin
Trempealeau

[yourout]

296. Waukesha now showing over 1/2 the precincts in but the vote totals did not change.

Strange.

[cascadiance]

298. Maybe they are "playing with the Diebolds" after hours and holding out for a while...

... to see how much they need?

[Skip Intro]

288. Fond du Lac - what to expect? Still zero of 77 reporting...

[yourout]

289. If the current ratios for Waukesha and Washington counties hold we will need at least 800k votes....

290. Based on 10:39 pm CDT

Yet to go for Kloppenburg based on current ratios:

Milwaukee 23236 (picking up)
Dane 96398
Waukesha -152494 (they haven't updated in a while)

These three give net -32860 to Kloppenburg

Current total: Kloppenburg +6912

Current projection: Kloppenburg loss by ~25,950 (decreasing!)

[aaaaaa5a]

292. I can't believe I am staying up this late worried about...

an off year special election vote for a judge that lives in a state a thousand miles from me!


This reminds of the 2008 election, when I would stay up to get Zogby's daily tracking poll at midnight. And you guys know how flawed Zogby's numbers are!

[BlueDemKev]

295. I hear you, man!

I'm down in the heart of Dixieland cheering for my fellow progressives in Wisconsin!

[StevieM]

322. Your post just reminded me of a post I remember reading during the Obama/Clinton primaries

The Guam caucus was taking place and every election/caucus was a death battle. The vote in Guam was particularly close. And it was going to come down to the largest (or maybe Capitol) city, a place called Dededo. And we were all waiting on pins and needles for the final results to come in from that one outstanding city. An Obama supporter (I was with Clinton) said: "I can't believe I'm sitting here worrying about what's going to happen in some place called Dededo."

[Takket]

293. holding back

Are the Rethugs holding back some counties until they know exactly how many votes need to be made up? Several have ZERO precincts reporting

[BlueDemKev]

297. What's the benefit for them to do that?

[drm604]

300. I was just thinking the same thing.

I hope that's not the case.

[Bumblebee]

303. They did update

and now there are just 80 precincts left, and they are probably less populous in terms of how many voted than Madison/Dane which still has 60. She is ahead and, knock on wood, may be in okay shape since then there is also plenty in Milwaukee...

[aaaaaa5a]

302. Weird...Waukesha went from 52/198 to 119/198 w/no change in # voters. nt

[Lyric]

304. With luck, it was just a mistake all along and the vote numbers were punched in

before the precincts were listed as "reported".

[Hokie]

305. Anyone think we need a thread #2 on this?

It is getting pretty large now.

Trending the right way!

[Tx4obama]

326. Only 19% left to report. Getting towards the end now! n/t

[BlueDemKev]

307. Yeah, I noticed that too!

Hopefully, the current vote tally there reflects 119 precincts reporting, and not 52.

[yourout]

309. I wonder if the original precinct number was wrong. It seemed like a big number of votes for 50...

precincts.

[highplainsdem]

324. I noticed that, too. Waukesha has just under 260,000 registered voters -- see

this PDF file:

http://gab.wi.gov/sites/default/files/page/reg_voters_by_county_august_2010_pdf_15332.pdf

so 86,000 reported so far probably would be over half the precincts even with high voter turnout.

I'm still worried about Waukesha, but not as worried as I was earlier...

It was way for Prosser.

How man people are actually in Waukesha's unreported precincts, and if they are actually going to vote in the same %s as the rest? Trying to guage how muich effct the remainted will have because that county alone could add another 30k to the bad guy at this rate.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

317. none are in from Fond du Lac county either - very red

[BadgerKid]

Based on the 10:45 pm CDT ratios

Yet to go for Kloppenburg based on current ratios:

Milwaukee 22736
Dane 96398
Waukesha -66636 (big drop since many more precincts reported w/no change in voter counts)

These three give net +52498 to Kloppenburg

[BlueDemKev]

314. Counties with 0% Reporting

Can anybody give us a quick rundown on the counties which have 0% of their precincts reporting as of yet? i.e.--What's the population and political-leaning of these counties?

[Viking12]

332. Of the 3 left w/ 0%, 2 are very small. the third is not that big either, but will go blue.

Fond du Lac county, 0/77, ran out of ballots which delayed closing and counting. There is a strong union presence, including several prisons -- the guards have flipped from red to blue after the collective bargaining fiasco.

[BlueDemKev]

342. Man, I hope you're right!

About the Fond du Lac union voters moving to our side. What the f--- were they doing voting Walker and Johnson last November? Talk about shooting yourself in the foot!!

323. Fond Du Luc's 77 Precincts unreported

Fond Du Luc cast nearly 38,000 votes last year for Governor, voting nearly 2 to 1 for the Dem. considering Koplenburg is outperforming those totals, even a 10,000 vote drop off can mean a 10,000 vote Dem margin. Keep an eye on that place.

[mucifer]

327. thanks!

336. Fond du Lac Voted for Walker 64% to 35%.....

[BlueDemKev]

334. Absolutely Untrue....

Fond du Lac voted for Walker by a 64% to 35% margin (24,000 to 13,000 votes).

Or does Wisconsin even have an automatic recount rule?

[highplainsdem]

And sometimes the losing candidate can pay for a recount if the loss is by more than 1%.

3630/3254*(1330926) = 1,484,715 projected votes

As of 2009, 3,481,939 registered voters (http://elections.state.wi.us/category.asp?linkcatid=3010&linkid=1414)

==> 1,484,715 / 3,481,939 = 0.426

[BadgerKid]

384. Estimating low-60's% turnout in Dane and Waukesha Cos.

projecting actual 11:24 pm CDT results and using 2009 registered voter info:

Dane: 248/207*(45503+124880) / 325866 = 63%

Waukesha: 198/130*(81255+29332)/ 261405 = 64%

I think Dane's unreported votes will pretty much offset Waukesha's unreported votes, but I fear our underwhelming margin of victory in Milwaukee will cost us in the end.

393. OH, SHIT

Dane County's # of reported precincts just increased by 35, but the vote totals did not. Apparently, the # of reported precincts was not updated earlier. There's only 5 unreported precincts left in Dane County, and still nearly 1/3 of Waukesha to come in....I think we're licked.

:-(

[moondust]

394. The numbers don't seem to add up.

Totals say 218 precincts still out. Look through the individual precincts and the outstanding precincts do not add up to anywhere near 218.

[highplainsdem]

398. It changed to 195 out, and I skimmed down the list and it added up to 195.

[moondust]

403. Thanks.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

396. 703,258 - 701,478 - she's climbing up again

If in fact Waukesha and Ozaukee have, contra AP, reported all their votes, then that gets Kloppenburg within 0.1% 2 minutes ago via Echofon


# Swing State

About 40 more Dane precincts came in, but they were empty (as in, unused precincts). That's brutal for Kloppenburg in our model. Swing 3.87% 6 minutes ago via Echofon

405. Okay, all of Waukesha is in.....

...and, according to AP (which has not been totally reliable tonight) there are still 4 precincts to come in from Dane County, 13 from Milwaukee County, and 21 from Eau Claire.

[toddwv]

408. Marathon still has 32 districts to report.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

437. Eau Claire

is a nice university town - lived there 5 years. I think Ms. K. can pull quite a few more votes there.

[Blaq Dem]

Waukesha is going to piss all over this thing.

Plus Eau Claire. Sounds like recount city going on here!!!

[cascadiance]

411. P: 704,371 - K: 702,906, Waukesha now is listed as fully counted!

Marathon still has 32 precincts to come in yet though. That's the big one to worry about now.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

413. 7 BLUE counties have more votes coming in, and 2 RED

BLUE Ashland, Dane, Dunn, Eau Claire, Milwaukee, Portage,Sauk

RED Marathon, Racine

[eowyn_of_rohan]

422. 706,381 - 707,961 SHE's AHEAD

[jillan]

418. She pulled ahead!!!!!!

[BlueDemKev]

424. Hold on.....

http://twitter.com/SwingState

Apparently, Prosser is winning Racine by 3,000 votes more than AP is reporting.

[BlueDemKev]

420. Racine

According to Swing State Twitter, Prosser is leading in Racine by 6,000 votes, not 3,000. :(

[aaaaaa5a]

426. Yup. AP just made the correction. That was what led to his big bump. NT

425. Raccine County bumped him up. NT

[eowyn_of_rohan]

428. Racine County did that - all their votes are in - can do no more damage

only 1 RED county left --Marathon

Still 7 BLUE counties whose votes aren't all in

[BlueDemKev]

429. Okay, it's now 722,836 to 720,421

Racine was finally updated by the AP and another Dane precinct just came in (there's still one left there). Also, Milwaukee is still showing only 474 of 486 precincts reporting. Do you know if all 486 of Milwaukee's precincts were used?

[toddwv]

3529/3630 P:722,836 50% K:720,421 50%

[Zambero]

430. With 2.7% of precincts left, that would be around 40,000 votes to count

Not over yet!

[aaaaaa5a]

432. Milwaukee and Eau Claire still have a combined more than 30 precincts report. Its not over. NT

We have to take consideration of the number of votes within each remaining counties, plus the number of remaining precincts. Difficult to pin down. I still can't believe this race is so tight.

These all have significant # precincts left to count:

BLUE Ashland, Dane, Dunn, Eau Claire, Milwaukee, Sauk

RED Marathon,

[Blaq Dem]

448. 5 Presser counties vs 9 Kloppenburg counties (includes Milwaukee)

Beginning to look good.

[mvd]

451. I agree! And remember the absentee ballots

Those should put her over the top even if Prosser has a small lead from the other votes.

[toddwv]

452. No matter how this loaf ends up sliced

I'm pretty sure some Republicans with the spectre of recall elections shoved in their face will be losing some sleep over the next few weeks or so.

[cascadiance]

464. It would be interesting to analyze the vote counts here for the districts of the Repub recalls!

To see how many are voting Dem in all of those districts. Might give us a good idea on how the recall elections might go in each of those districts later.

[RBInMaine]

453. Why is Waukesha County so damn red? What are their demographics?

[cascadiance]

456. I'm guessing it's a pretty heavy white and conservative suburb of Milwaukee...

It looks like that might be the case when looking at it on the map.

[highplainsdem]

459. Link to the Wikipedia article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waukesha_County,_Wisconsin

96% white.

[RBInMaine]

460. Even so, is it old? Rich? Many " white" counties are blue in this country. What else?

[highplainsdem]

468. You didn't look at that link? It has more info.

Median household income $63,000.

Median age - 38.

[RBInMaine]

473. Thanks. The age part is surprising unless it is a skewed median.

[Blaq Dem]

461. Maybe "race" has something to do with it.

The debate stopped at Pres. Obama's skin color. It will never get any further than that. Some people are blinded by it. The GOP can tell these same conservatives that they'll come into their homes and slice their arms off. No matter what, they'll still support the GOP.

I can imagine if Jesus were black, these same conservatives would likely take the side of the devil whether than praising a black man. Just my opinion.

[cascadiance]

454. Are they all calling it a night? No updates now for some time...

Maybe the media senses the next update will put Kloppenburg ahead for good if they keep going, and they're calling a pow-wow with KKKarl to figure out how to not have that happen!

[midnight]

457. Hmmm....

maybe uncle kkkarl is up in wisconsin overseeing things.

[cascadiance]

467. Maybe check to see if he's staying in Marathon county tonight?

Though perhaps he's working on their servers remotely. It would be interesting to study what their server set up is to see if it has outside connections to the old Republican servers that were used in Ohio in 2008...

[electricD]

477. either it's getting very late and my math is really starting to suck

OR, my math is on and as I'm counting precincts left and adding up to 68 left but, when I look at the top of the AP page it's still telling me there's right at 90 left. is it just me or is something not ge-hawing here?

From Twitter ....

pollbuster

Kloppenburg's team says they think the numbers are still out there to bring home the win. 14,000 votes yet to be reported.

[toddwv]

497. Dane and Dunn still have precincts out.

Dane 1
Dunn 2

They rest of their precincts lean heavily towards Kloppenburg.

[brentspeak]

498. Dane is already closed and fully counted

AP keeps listing one more precinct, but vote totals are already registered.

[cascadiance]

500. I'm hoping that all of these other counties with remaining precincts aren't also "errors"...

It looks pretty good if they are really remaining, but I'd hate to lose an election by around 500 votes if there aren't any more votes to be counted. At least we still have absentees to count!

[toddwv]

501. The AP link says there's still 1 precinct unreported.

I'll take your word for it though.

Update: You're right, they're reporting all results in.

Are there more districts in the Milwaukee precinct than the Milwaukee Election Committee is reporting?

[cascadiance]

512. That is the "city" of Milwaukee. I think AP's results are for Milwaukee county...

Though that may mean that if there are still remaining votes to be counted, if they are in suburbs, they might go more to Prosser, if the city's precincts are 100% counted.

509. I did some calculations

There are 34 Precincts still to be counted, including 8 in Milwaukee County and 1 in Dane County, the 2 largest areas of the state and overwhelmingly voted for Kloppenburg. Here are the numbers (only those that had votes still out were listed, and no direct Excel 2010 support in this forum).

If the numbers hold, Kloppenburg should gain a net of 1675 votes from those remaining with a current deficit of 585. This will be recounted either way, no matter what happens tonight.

513. Update - Dunn County

Kloppenburg gains another 229 votes from final Dunn county numbers: http://bit.ly/e7JovI Lead down to 356 votes. 32 precincts left.

514. The problem with saying we have "x number of districts left"

Is that the AP has been TERRIBLE in updating their numbers in sync all night. For all we know, all the precincts that they have as being still unreported are actually done, and their totals are reflected in the numbers we're seeing. I hope that's not the case, but I'm skeptical.
