This is a race that looked tough at one time, because the incumbent (R) had to resign for family reasons after the recall process started.

Anybody have a clue as to which one was the Tea-Party favorite?

I didn’t even notice it, but the (R) after Seidel’s name is a typo (not mine, dammit! I copied ‘n’ pasted!). She’s a Donk.

Have you seen anywhere why the results from Racine are so delayed? I keep checking, but it has been at 22% reporting for well over an hour now.

I think that makes 3 out of 4 plus the Governor and Lt. Governor. The Republicans need to hold 1 for complete sweep and majority.

That’s correct. The only race outstanding is the one for Van Wangaard’s seat, where 72% of precincts have yet to report, last I saw.

Over at the FR election live thread, someone posted the Racine County results page URL ( http://www.elections.racineco.com/voting/election.aspx ), which now has it there at Wangaard 54.38%, Lehman 44.06% there, with lots of precincts not yet reporting.
