Too many Pubs ahead. I don't live in Wisc, but I've donated what I could and I hope so very much the Dems can win AT LEAST the 3 seatsa and hopefully more than that!

1. Die hard Republican districts.
Scariest thing I've ever seen.

4. These rethug voters are stealthy. They stay in their houses and watch the
tv ads - and then come scurrying out on Election Day and scurry back home - to their beloved tv's.

It wasn't Democratic weather (cold and rainy) - too many old folks came out. I hope I'm wrong.

2. Smaller rural districts always report first
They tend to be more conservative.

Too early to make any predictions.

3. Way too early.
Not one race has more than 25% reported in.

14. Odd that the King/Hopper and Pasch/Darling races STILL are in the teens for votes in!
Why the delay? WI Dems only need 3 races to flip the Senate right? Hope Dems have A LOT of their people in the counting rooms watching these counts.

19. Not really - Hopper's district has cities. Some of the other voting
areas are very rural.

16. It looks like 2, maybe 3 Dems
Some of the polls were still open last hour due to long lines.

20. Shilling 8 points ahead with 82% of the votes in. CALL IT already!!
They called the two repubs BEFORE they each had 82% in.
