(2,315 posts)2. Wait. Waukesha still has 12 precincts out.
They usually magically find 70,000 votes there the next morning.
But the best news is Rock County (Janesville) is running 3:2 for Dallet. Might worry some Speaker of the House.

It looks like a landslide!

(297,287 posts)7. Liberals just won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court by a huge margin[/

Dallets win is yet another example of liberal voter enthusiasm in state and local elections held during the age of Trump. And in Wisconsin specifically, its a rare victory for a Democratic Party thats 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.)

Lots of endorsements, actually. Excellent.

(14,167 posts)9. I can't even celebrate. I just feel extreme relief.
This is the Wisconsin I know and love. Madison and Milwaukee must have delivered.
Now they need to get rid of Koch Brother stooge Walker.

Looking at the numbers, Madison outperformed but Milwaukee and Racine City not so much.
