From Wisconsin conservative James Wigderson:
Election night went into the morning as both sides waited for the results, but in the end the Democratic Party prevailed in each of the statewide elections. The only remaining question is whether the final results would fall within the margin necessary for a recount in the race for governor and attorney general.
The race for governor was a see-saw battle between the incumbent Gov. Scott Walker (R) and the challenger Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers. However, Milwaukee’s absentee ballots caused Evers to surge ahead a lead of 31,087 votes with 99 percent of the precincts counted statewide.
If Evers’ victory margin held up, the 1.15 percent would be outside of the one percent difference that would allow a recount. Just as the absentee ballots were being counted in Milwaukee, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch had suggested that a recount was likely and called for volunteers to help. It is unknown if Republicans will continue to desire a recount in the morning considering the margin of victory by Evers. Republicans, including Walker, have been very critical of Democratic requests for recounts in 2016 and in 2011.
