They are saying 85% turn out in Dane county by end of day.

https://www.nbc15.com/2022/11/08/election-day-live-blog-polls-have-opened/

The Madison Clerk’s Office reports more than 47,000 ballots have already been counted, which makes up more than a quarter of the city’s registered voters going into the day.

Dane Co. Clerk Scott McDonnell reported in a midday update that there have been no major issues or unusual problems so far on Election Day.

Many clerks have noted high turnout at their locations, he added. McDonnell projected the Dane Co. will see 85% voter turnout by the end of the day.

and Madison houses UW-Madison. So you have a lot of intellectuals and students.

But turnout isn't usually this high, even in an election year.

and there are more voters registered as well... so that's pretty good.

I would love to know what Waukesha's turnout is like.

By that I mean we'll hold the Senate and win some surprising races but still be done in by gerimandering in House. Barnes winning in WI would be such a satisfying win for us. Fetterman winning would be special too given all he's been through.

is if it is close after much counting but Waukesha County hasn't completely come in yet. That is the GQP stronghold and where previous ratf'ning has come from. Watch out for a couple of localities not reporting until way after everybody else.

and even after her. The GQP loves bringing all of their legal actions in that county also.
