https://www.nbc15.com/2022/11/08/election-day-live-blog-polls-have-opened/The Madison Clerks Office reports more than 47,000 ballots have already been counted, which makes up more than a quarter of the citys registered voters going into the day.
Dane Co. Clerk Scott McDonnell reported in a midday update that there have been no major issues or unusual problems so far on Election Day.
Many clerks have noted high turnout at their locations, he added. McDonnell projected the Dane Co. will see 85% voter turnout by the end of the day.

(3,700 posts)By that I mean we'll hold the Senate and win some surprising races but still be done in by gerimandering in House. Barnes winning in WI would be such a satisfying win for us. Fetterman winning would be special too given all he's been through.

(4,274 posts)is if it is close after much counting but Waukesha County hasn't completely come in yet. That is the GQP stronghold and where previous ratf'ning has come from. Watch out for a couple of localities not reporting until way after everybody else.

(9,124 posts)I believe your thinking about the Waukesha County Clerk Kathy Nickolaus scandal

(4,274 posts)and even after her. The GQP loves bringing all of their legal actions in that county also.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
