Recall Election Update

The two races that have already been called were expected to be a win for the Republicans. However, both democratc candidates showed tremendous success in that they pulled so many votes in republican leaning districts.

In the senate district 8 Sandy Pasch is now leading Alberta Darling and the Milwaukee precincts have not yet come in. They are expected to be leaning Pasch's way, so things are looking on the up in senate district 8. A loss here by Republicans would be a blow to the Walker agenda.

In senate district 14 Luther Olsen continues to lead in the district, but Fred Clark is staying reasonably close. ALL Baraboo precincts, that are Clark's hometown and carries him in his assembly races are still out. Baraboo area is expected to make this race very interesting.

Jessica King pulled ahead in senate district 18 and the Fond du Lac area has not reported and that is a Jessica King stronghold. Hopper has now taken the lead again 51% to 49%. Earlier today, Fond du Lac faced some failing ballot machines so we do not know when to expect their results.

As far as senate district 32... Jen Shilling is constantly pulling away from Dan Kapanke and this is the one senate race that has been expected to flip to the democrats since the beginning. Kapanke could actually just go to bed and then grab the local newspaper tomorrow morning and check the "help wanted" ads.
