Turnout (relatively) high in Wisconsin

[The Northerner]

After high turnout in last week’s Wisconsin recall elections, voter interest was expected to drop in Tuesday’s races where two Democratic state senators are being targeted. One is expected to have a competitive contest, but the state Senate is no longer in play.

But turnout is still pretty high for a recall, if not as high as it was last week.

Election clerks are predicting turnout in the mid-30s. On Tuesday afternoon, long lines were being reported in Kenosha. A clerk in the popular Eagle River vacation spot reported that voting was “brisk,” with 35 percent turnout around early afternoon.

In the predominately Republican town of Minocqua in the 12th district, observers said turnout had reached the level of last year’s gubernatorial race.
