A real nailbiter is underway in Wisconsin

where the Dems have been almost completely locked out of Statewide office since 2010.

Tony Evers is leading Scott Walker by around 20,000 votes with 64% counted. Dems leading in other statewide races but its close. This will be an awesome night if Dems take back State govt and send Scott Walker packing.

And only 75% of Dane County is in. It would be great to be able to kick him to the curb.

Hard to believe they would call it when its so close. Not seeing it on local news stations that would cover an acceptance speech.

Dane County and Milwaukee County have large populations that are heavily Democratic... hurry up.
