Wisconsin Senate Recall-a-palooza: 2012 Edition

[Meeker]

The waiting is the worst

People are still technically voting right now though - you get to vote so long as you were in line at 8:00 PM. This'll cause a bit of a delay in high turnout areas.

[Meeker]

One tiny precinct in SD-02 in; Cowles leads 94-6.

[ag]

And 1 precinct in in the 14th

Clark 56%
Olsen 44%

But this is nothing yet.

Here's the AP results link for tomorrow today.

1st precinct in, in Senate District 2.  Cowles (R-incumbent*) up 33 votes to 2 (94% to 6%)!

*And yes, I know all the Republicans are incumbents in today's recalls.

Darn, sombody beat me to it.  But I have the raw vote totals.

[Kevinstat]

And 1 precinct in in the 14th

Clark 56%
Olsen 44%

But this is nothing yet.

With 2 precincts in:

Clark (D) 152 (52%)
Olson (R) 140 (48%)

[Meeker]

I checked those two precinct's '08 results; one was tied then and the Dem is winning now; the other was won by Obama and now the Republican is leading.

[Meeker]

Two precincts in SD-08 in; McCain got 57% there in '08 and Darling is getting 62%.

[ag]

We are likely to see increased polarization. The other important thing is relative turnout.

[Kevinstat]

Precincts are starting to roll in now.  Only one race (Harsdorf's) with no results yet.  Some results in every race now.  In the others, Kapanke the only Republican trailling, and only by 52% to 48%.  It is still early yet though.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

The Dems had better hope it's the Republican precincts reporting, because it's not looking good for any of them aside from Shilling.

[J. J.]

The early numbers look very good. 

[Kevinstat]

Olsen-Clark race (which I'd heard called the pivitol one) starting to look like a longshot for the Dems.  Olsen up 59% to 41% with 17% in.

[J. J.]

Kapanke 52 48 @ 12%

!

[ag]

6 more precincts in in the 14th, and it is Olsen 55%

[J. J.]

Kapanke 52 48 @ 12%

!

Tied.

[JohnnyLongtorso]

Kapanke's currently underperforming his 2008 result by about 3-4%. Doesn't really matter if he leads now, because he'll undoubtedly lose La Crosse (which he did in 2008, albeit narrowly).

Edit: now he's down 8% in Crawford from 2008.

[Kevinstat]

Kapanke 52 48 @ 12%

!

If Kapanke's ahead, it looks like the night will be very good to the GOP incumbents.

He's not anymore, but it's 50-50 when rounded to the nearest percent.

Kapanke 52 48 @ 12%

Kapanke is behind by about a dosen votes: but none of LaCrosse has reported yet.

He's not anymore, but it's 50-50 when rounded to the nearest percent.

I just posted that, but he'd down by 13 votes with 20% plus reporting.  Do any of the D seats look vulnerable.

Olsen down to 51% with 29% in.

From what I've heard, one of them should be (the other shouldn't really and doesn't seem to be) but the Republican nominee has put her foot in her mouth a bit so the Democrat is favored there.
