Dead heat...but which precincts are still out at 6 am?

[HereSince1628]

If the precincts that are still out, generally go with their
county trends it WILL be Kloppenburg.


County  Precincts       D. Prosser      J. Kloppenburg
Total    3596/3630      733,074          732,489

6 from Ashland (currently d leaning)
2 from crawford (currently d leaning)
1 from Dane (currently d leaning)
2 from Dunn (currently d leaning)
1 frm Jefferson (currently r leaning)
1 from Juneau (currently d leaning)
12from Milwaukee (currently d leaning)
8 from Sauk (currently d leaning)
1 from Taylor (currently r leaning)

I wonder if this is due to making hand ballots due to the big
turnout?

1. I hope we win this!

Its the first shot in a long war!

[HereSince1628]

2. It sure looks like We Will, and the r's spent VERY big on this...

I love it when they spend 3 times what their opponents spend...and still lose.
Less money for every other nefarious scheme they've got up their sleeve.

3. how apropos that I'm listenng to a group called the Civil Wars...

while reading this. ;) (good couple of performers, btw)

4. It depends where in Milwaukee the unreported precincts are.

Milwaukee has strong Democratic areas, and strong Repuglican areas.

[HereSince1628]

6. I'm sitting in one of those red areas...we vote with modern machinery

I'd expect such districts have their votes easily tallied...so I'm hopeful that these outstanding votes in Milwaukee are going to be from Black or Hispanic neighborhoods.

9. yes, we can not assume Milwaukee will go blue.

[HereSince1628]

13. If we had the identities of the precincts yet to report it'd be easy

to figure.

As it is making no endorsement of a different result from what already has happened is parsimonious. Even if we know that it could be wrong.

I'm still expecting most of these outstanding votes to be for Kloppenburg. The areas most of them come from are traditionally blue and the counties the precincts belong to are leaning blue in this election.


The margin is so small that it will inevitably end with a recount sometime in May.

[iwishiwas]

23. you are right. This will not be over today/tomorrow.

[michaz]

5. I do not trust the R's at all. Somebody best be watching closely. n/t

[disillusioned73]

7. The fact that it's this close is quite concerning..

shenanigans loom - stay vigilant Wisconsin.

[HereSince1628]

8. Yes, we all fear Stalin.

[jimlup]

10. What the hell is wrong with people that this is even close?

I know, I know but still I am left wondering.

Keeping fingers crossed.

[spooky3]

15. That's the question.

Mind blowing.

[Roy Ellefson]

16. remarkable she caught up

People need to remember that if this election would have been held in late January-- early February, Prosser would have won 70-30. It is remarkable enough that an unknown Assistant AG with a funny name is this close and will probably win this thing.

[eowyn_of_rohan]

27. Is it WI voting or E-voting? -nt

[slackmaster]

29. Different people often develop different opinions from the same set of information

It has to do with their backgrounds and values, and stuff like that.

[iwishiwas]

11. Juneau is home of one of the Fitzgeralds--but leaning BLUE with only

one prescient to put in the votes yet. HOPING>

[xchrom]

12. Recommend

[Motown_Johnny]

14. 32 (D) leaning v. 2 (R) leaning?

I hope the recount goes well.

Are absentee ballots a factor in this?


Well, if nothing else this should run for a few news cycles and help get the message out about how vulnerable the conservatives are.

[Scuba]

18. Yes, absentee ballots could make a big difference...

....early reports were that absentee ballot numbers were WAY up in Dane County. at least.



In any case, I smell a rat!

[robcon]

17. It's well within the margin of fraud.

[michaz]

19. Is there any way to prove fraud? I would love to see that if necessary. n/t

[Contrary1]

20. According To Facebook Page:

There are about 12,000 uncounted votes, about 11,300 of which are in counties that have been going for Kloppenburg by an average of 58%.

[AleksS]

24. Well, that's good news

Really taking it to the wire though. Sheesh.

I have my fingers crossed.

[AleksS]

26. Yikes

Well, 10 of the 12 milwaukee wards are included now, and they didn't help. ( now -800 ish votes) 2 Milwaukee and 1 Dane county wards unreported.

Absentee ballots counted first, during, or last?

[karynnj]

30. That's great news - if these numbers are accurate and if the remaining precincts are like the others

in their counties.

If she takes the 11,300 by 58% and loses the remaining 700 getting say - 40% of the vote, she wins.

21. Thanks for doing the homework on this. n/t

736,878 R

28. ALL of these D leaning counties are STRONG D leaners...

...according to this Wisconsin State Journal article:
http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/elections/article_212b0a92-5ff3-11e0-8d71-001cc4c002e0.html

With the only exception being the 1 straggler from Juneau which is a close win for Kloppenberg so far.

Go K!!
