IIRC Racine Co. went for Walker in a pretty big way back in 2010. And Racine went for Walker by a couple hundred out of 3000 votes or so.
Anyone from there who can interpret what this might mean?

(40,416 posts)A big turn out, especially one like today's "unprecedented" turn out can only favor Dems. Even in Rep strongholds, because Reps already vote in high numbers.
