The 2014 primary season ends (Sept. 9: DE, MA, NH, NY, RI)

[ElectionsGuy]

We shall see what the Bachmann replacement will be like, might just be a low-profile member like most.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

And Westlund wins the WI-07 DEM Primary, 77-23 over Krisean at 48.7% in!
WI-04 DEM goes for Moore, who is leading George 71-29 at 30% in!

WI-03: 33.9% in, Kurtz leading Mueller 60-22
WI-04 REP: 30% in, Sebring leading King 80-19
WI-06: 62.9% in, Grothman leading Leibham 39-29

[Maxwell]

We shall see what the Bachmann replacement will be like, might just be a low-profile member like most.

Emmer might have ambitions within Minnesota, but otherwise he'll probably be a relatively quiet backbencher.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

MN REP Gov: 58.4% in, Johnson leading Zellers 32-24
MN-01: 72.1% in, Hagedorn leading Miller 53-47

Ambitions within Minnesota? Do you mean he's going to challenge Klobuchar in 2018?

Much more likely Governor, since he already ran for it and came this close to winning it.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

WI-03: 46.7% in, Kurtz leading Mueller 57-22
WI-04 REP: 31.6% in, Sebring leading King 80-20
WI-06: 64.3% in, Grossman leading Leibham 39-29

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

MN REP Gov: 64.3% in, Johnson leading Zellers 31-24
MN-01: 79.5% in, Hagedorn leading Miller 54-46

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

And MN-01 goes for Hagedorn, 55-45 over Miller at 84.3% in!

[TJ in Oregon]

Grothman probably will still win, but about a third of the outstanding precincts from WI-6 are from Sheboygan County, which is Leibham's home, so he still might have a shot if there's some geographic polarization.

[Gass3268]

Mark Harris, Winnebago County Executive, is a good candidate too for WI-06. This could be a competitive race and I do see a path for Harris.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

And MN REP Gov goes for Johnson, 31-24 over Zellers at 76.1% in!
WI-03 goes for Kurtz, 58-22 over Mueller at 59.3% in!
WI-04 REP goes for Sebring, 78-22 over King at 58.2% in!

WI-06: 74% in, Grossman leading Leibham 40-29

[ElectionsGuy]

With 2/3 of the vote in, Milwaukee County sheriff David Clarke is still hanging on 52-48.

Grothman pretty much has it for WI-6, only 1/4 of the vote left and he has a 12 point lead over Stroebel and Liebham.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

WI-06: 80.9% in, Grossman leading Leibham 39-29

[TJ in Oregon]

My quick county canvassing of WI-6 shows:

Ozaukee County- all in, narrow Grothman lead over Stroebel, Leibham far behind
Fon du Lac - all in, Grothman win, Liebhman sorta distant second
Winnebago- moderate Grothman win over Liebham
Manitowoc - all in, huge Liebham win
Sheboygan - almost nothing in
Green Lake - County website doesn't list results
Marquette - County website doesn't list results
Waushara - County website doesn't list results
Columbia - County website has results but in format almost impossible to read
Dodge/Milwaukee - not sure what parts are in district

Grothman looks like he probably won unless Leibham can get a crazy margin out of Sheboygan like he did out of Manitowoc. Stroebel doesn't look like he'll gain from the areas outstanding

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

And with 83.2% of the precincts reporting, Grossman wins WI-06, 39-29 over Leibham!

With the main races all called, let's move down to Lt. Governor:
GOP CT: 98% in, Somers leading with 34%. Bacchiochi also at 34%.

WI DEM Lt. Gov. goes for Lehmann, 55-45 over Walters at 84% in!

No MN Lt. Gov. primary, but I'd like to note that the DEM auditor primary, in which both candidates ran a radio and tv ad each, ended up not being very close at all, with Rebecca Otto (inc.) defeating Matt Entenza by a 81-19 margin at 92% in!

Meanwhile, in the Miluwakee Sheriff Primary, Clarke is leading Moews 51-49 at 86.5% in.

[TJ in Oregon]

The AP called it for Grothman about 15 minutes ago. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm not completely convinced Grothman will win. Leibham is down about 4000 votes with 11/53 precincts in from Sheboygan County and a scattering from rural places. Liebham is currently up 700 votes from Sheboygan County, and he won Manitowoc by 3900 votes, so would it be impossible for him to win Sheboygan by 4700? It has more people and is more Republican and is his home. Perhaps I'm grasping at straws here or the AP knows something I don't, but this doesn't quite seem over yet. Perhaps it's just too big of a lead.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

And Somers has won the CT REP Lt. Gov. Primary over Bacchiochi by a margin of 716 votes!

Miluwakee Sheriff: 87% in, Clarke leading Moews 51-49

[ElectionsGuy]

And with 92% in, Clarke has been called the winner of the Milwaukee County Sheriff race, leading 52.1-47.9.

[Morning in Atlas]

It's not you. I think Liebham has a chance too.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

And Clarke wins the Milwaukee Sheriff Primary, 52-48 over Moews at 95.1% in!

That's everything for tonight. Next up is Hawaii (again), where the voters in those two precincts previously closed due to the storm will cast their ballots this Friday, the 15th. Following that is Alaska and Wyoming Primaries on the 19th.

[TJ in Oregon]

Grothman's lead is cut from 5k to 1500 votes as some unknown fraction of Sheboygan County just reported. He now leads Leibham 36%-34% with 91% in and most of the remaining precincts from Sheboygan County.

Unfortunately the Sheboygan County website is now acting all weird and went from 18 precincts reporting to 3 reporting, though the totals seem to have some continuity throughout.

The AP has been wrong before and may be wrong again. However, even if Leibham can muster a few more votes out of Sheboygan it'll be really close.

Leibham is leading 64-28 in Sheboygan county, two thirds of the precincts haven't been counted. I really don't see how Grothman wins.

Well the thing is that most of remaining precincts are either from the City of Sheboygan or rural towns and are smaller than the precincts already counted. Leibham will win the remaining precincts, it's just a matter of by how much.

[TJ in Oregon]

According to AoSHHDD Grothman's lead is now down to 810 votes.

Now I'm somewhat torn because I want Leibham to win but I also want to go to bed
