They usually magically find 70,000 votes there the next morning.

But the best news is Rock County (Janesville) is running 3:2 for Dallet. Might worry some Speaker of the House.

Gov. Scott Walker (R) saw his preferred candidate, Michael Screnock, lose to Rebecca Dallet in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election Tuesday. |Win McNamee/Getty

Dallet’s win is yet another example of liberal voter enthusiasm in state and local elections held during the age of Trump. And in Wisconsin specifically, it’s a rare victory for a Democratic Party that’s been beaten again and again in recent years. (The race was technically nonpartisan, but Dallet was the Democrat-backed candidate, and Screnock the conservative-backed one.)

This is the Wisconsin I know and love. Madison and Milwaukee must have delivered.

Now they need to get rid of Koch Brother stooge Walker.

Looking at the numbers, Madison outperformed but Milwaukee and Racine City not so much.
