53. That would make logical sense, but it doesn't seem to apply. Put it this way

Walker votes in 2014:

1,259,706 vs approx 1,110,000

Walker votes in 2012 recall:

1,335,585 vs approx 1,100,000

Walker votes in 2010:

1,128,941 vs approx 1,000,000

Romney votes in 2012:

1,407,966 vs 1,620,985 for Obama

1.4 million votes is about the republican limit in Wisconsin and Walker always gets close to that, it seems. The difference is another 600,000 vote in presidential elections and they always heavily break democratic.
