Wisconsin Senate Recall-a-palooza: 2012 Edition

[J. J.]

Shilling is going to beat Kapanke easily; the one county that's still out went for her by 600 votes, but it's not reported on the AP site yet.

Shilling is down to 54% @ 82%, but I think she has it.

Hopper 51%@ 79%

[Meeker]

The Winnebago County website has a few more precincts in than the AP does and they have King going from 53% to 54%.

[ag]

Well, Darling should make it: but why aren't they counting? If it all comes again to Waukeesha reporting last (and finding enough votes to resolve the election), somebody in the county government should be run out of the state.

No, I am not suggesting cheating: I am suggesting incompetence.

[Mr.Phips]

King should win in SD-18.  All of Fon Du Loc is reported and Hopper is only up by 500 votes.  King will make that up in Winnebago.

The clerk is incompetent apparently.  Even the GOP websites are expecting Waukesha to come in last like with the Prosser thing.

Hopper 51% @ 83%

Olsen finally declared the winner. 

[ag]

With 18 Winnebago precincts all that's left, Hopper is ahead by 534 votes. This might drag.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

King pulls ahead by 137 votes; 14 precincts left.

[Talleyrand]

With 18 Winnebago precincts all that's left, Hopper is ahead by 534 votes. This might drag.

With 14 more to go, King is ahead by less than 200, so maybe a recount?

[ag]

14 precincts left in Winnebago and King's ahead by 137 votes. Dems might have 2.

Actually, if the rest of Winnebago goes as what we've seen, King might make it without recount. Though, of course, the early Winnebago precicnts went for Hopper.

[J. J.]

King 50% @ 87%

[Talleyrand]

Jennifer Shilling wins according to AP. No surprise.

I know you shouldnt read too much into these elections, but the fact that the GOP is managing to do as well as they (especially with the tv drama of the angry left and protesting) are, should be an indication of how strong the GOP is in the state compared to even 10 years ago.  It bodes well for 2012.

With low turnout and $30 million spent, mostly from shadow right-wing groups, we shouldn't be surprised....

[ag]

Shilling's been declared winner. W/ quite a bit yet to go she's at 55%.

These are also all Republican districts with the exception of SD-32...

If there is a recount it will go to King anyways...

[J. J.]

Darling 45%  @  43%

[ag]

2 more precincts from Milwaukee, and Darling has actually cut her opponent's lead to under 2500. She should make it.

But just imagine if Pasch is still ahead when all but Waukeesha has reported, and the last batch of Waukeesha voters overturns that.

And, of course, the county clerk is insisting that she is following the same reporting procedure that has served her so well in April.

Yes losers always blame the money from "shadowy" groups.  We did in 08.  You did in 10 and you will again in 12 .

[Meeker]

This dude on MSNBC keeps claiming that Oshkosh hasn't reported yet which if true bodes very well for King.

[ag]

A biggish dump from Milwaukee (and couple precincts from Ozaukee as well): Pasch's lead is up to almost 5000 votes. 15 precincts from Milwaukee and 20 precincts from the suburbs (including 10 from Waukeesha) left.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Washington County results (all but one precinct; 7,955 Darling, 2,877 Pasch). I don't see Pasch recovering from that kind of margin.

[Meeker]

The rest of Washington County just came in, Pasch is still up 51-49.

15 precincts left in Milwaukee; 15 precincts left in the suburbs.
