1. That would be great, but how reliable is Decision Desk HQ?

I really haven't heard of them. Seems tough to call an election with 33% of the vote in and all those rural mostly red counties still out there.

2. AP has called the race for Dallet and Vox is calling a landslide!

Liberals just won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court by a huge margin

Dallet’s win is yet another example of liberal voter enthusiasm in state and local elections held during the age of Trump. And in Wisconsin specifically, it’s a rare victory for a Democratic Party that’s been beaten again and again in recent years. (The race was technically nonpartisan, but Dallet was the Democrat-backed candidate, and Screnock the conservative-backed one.)

Rebecca Dallet wins 10-year term on Wisconsin Supreme Court

Voters on Tuesday overwhelmingly picked Milwaukee County Judge Rebecca Dallet to serve on the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years.

Dallet crushed Sauk County Judge Michael Screnock 57 percent to 42 percent and is the first candidate backed by liberals to win an open seat on the state's highest court since 1995.

She replaces Justice Michael Gableman, whose decision in 2015 to not step away from a case involving the Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, which had spent millions to help elect Gableman, was a big reason Dallet decided to seek a seat on the court.

Dallet, a judge for the last 10 years, campaigned largely on changing the rules that govern when judges and Supreme Court justices should recuse themselves from cases involving top campaign donors and repeatedly criticized Gableman and the court controlled by conservatives for "doing bidding" for special interests.

With Dallet's election, the court remains controlled by conservative justices but by a smaller margin.
