2.7 % 0f votes counted in Wi

[Half-Century Man]

Walker nearly double vote count of Burke.

On a race polling so close before?

[BP2]

1. Yeah, I don't get it either

[Lifelong Protester]

2. I'm wondering which votes make up that 2.7%

8. Don't worry. If it was that far apart the race would be called by now.

Don't worry. If it was that far apart the race would be called by now.

Traditionally the rural areas get their ballots in first to be counted. I just (literally, in the last 5 minutes) got an email from a progressive group in Milwaukee reminding everyone that if they were in line by 8:00, the polling place has to stay open long enough for them to vote. So, apparently, there are lines in Milwaukee and the votes aren't ready to be counted yet.

We've got some time to wait and see.

3. You have to know where the votes are from

if you don't that is meaningless. If they are from primarily GOP areas then it makes sense. I know that Milwaukee & Madison have not reported in yet.

6. +1 everyone is missing this tonight...

[HereSince1628]

10. Basically, yes but theres a thousand or so votes counted for Gwen Moore

So at least one ward in Milwaukee has reported.

4. All rural votes so far.

Not surprising.

5. Every state has deep red and deep blue areas

If you don't know which 2.7% have been counted... you don't know anything about the reality of the race.

7. Kenosha and fon du lac are the only counties partially counted so far.

[Half-Century Man]

9. TY

I lack the resources to see county results.

[Lifelong Protester]

16. That's the information I was looking for, thanks.

BTW, for all of you out there making negative remarks about 'only rural counties in' I do live and vote in one of the few, if only, rural BLUE counties in the state.

Thanks, charmay.

11. There are many counties in Wisconsin where that is the breakdown.

I live in Madison where Dems outnumber Reps 2:1 Hopefully Madison and Milwaukee will have high turnout - thats where the Dem concentrations are.

We have lots of red counties that are the opposite (like 68 out of 70!).

Way too soon to call.

Trust me, this will be a nailbiter decided by less than 100,000 votes.

[mopinko]

12. stay calm

i am hearing 70% turnout by 5 pm in Milwaukee and 90% in madison.

[Half-Century Man]

15. Not freaking

Just looking at things closely

[undeterred]

19. I hope the Dems who didn't come out to vote in 2010

remember the bitter taste of losing Senator Feingold.

[GitRDun]

13. I live in Northern IL but am in southern WI a lot

The rural areas are littered with Walker signs.

It's Madison and Milwaukee that matter.

[HereSince1628]

18. The McMansion exurban subdivisions are mixed

Professional families are a bit more blue than farmers

If you don't get off the highways and into those subdivisions you don't see that.

[GitRDun]

20. I pretty much drive in rural areas.

I hope Madison and Milwaukee kick Walkers butt.

My youngest goes to Madison. She voted for Burke, so I am hopeful.

[Ellipsis]

14. This means nothing

early numbers are from Fon Du Lac, Winnebago, Jefferson and BroWn counties all red neck

[forthemiddle]

17. What I'm hearing

So far things seem to be tracking almost exactly with the recall, but no word from Milwaukee or Madison yet.
I do understand that CNN had exit polls with Walker +3, so that is much closer than recall.
To soon to tell.

21. Journal sentinel reporter

Craig Gilbert just reported that newly "adjusted" exit polls have Walker winning 52-47.
