Tough night.
Neubauer actually took 21 counties, Evers last year only took 19
But - Milwaukee County was less in total vote than Dane County. A FIRST!!!! (Milwaukee 150,104 to Dane County 151,856) And Dane county cast 120,116 for Neubauer, while Milwaukee only mustered 93,565 for Neubauer. This was the problem in 2016 when voters didn't go to the polls and it appears again tonight that from last year when Milwaukee was roughly 14.5% of the total vote - tonight it was only about 12% of votes cast. Lesson learned over and over - the Repulithugs show up for every election - Dems not so much. Party needs to help people understand that their vote counts each and every time. 2018 Milwaukee County had 389K voters and Dane County had 291K that turned out for the Governors race. The usual 33% more voters. Tonight Dane County turnout was 151K to Milwaukee County's 150K.
Unless Milwaukee county has absentee votes that remain outstanding - as it did in 2018 at the end of night in the governors race, there aren't enough votes remaining to change the outcome.
If Dems got their voters to the polls - they would win. All midterm, off year elections see voter drops - it's just a question of what voters stay home.
