Walker appeared out front then was hammered by Milwaukee. That's expected, bigger city and lots of inner city communist types. As the votes came in from the smaller counties the gap started closing but then he got hammered by Dane county (Madison is a city in Dane), the other big block of communists in Wisconsin. From that point forward Walker slowly caught up as the votes came in from smaller counties. Walker had finally taken a small lead. Close to midnight all of the counties, big and small, including Milwaukee and Dodge were reporting 100%. The exceptions were Richland, Portage, and Lacrosse. Richland and Portage aren't very big but Lacrosse is certainly big enough to make a difference. Those 3 were hanging way behind, Lacrosse as far as 33%. That's when the votes for Evers came pouring in. It was 11:19:17 PM PST, so 1:19 locally, when I called it for Evers and went to bed.
Milwaukee did say at that time that despite showing as 100% there was still 45,000 absentee ballots that had not been counted at that time but, the 3 western counties had already manufactur...er, counted, enough to put Evers back in the lead. All Milwaukees votes would do at that point would be to make the margin great enough to get them out of recount territory.
There is a strange corridor of communism that rather inexplicably runs from Chicago over to Madison and across to St Paul. It doesn't make sense. Sure, I understand the urban gibsmedats voting that way but much of that stripe is rural and the smaller counties in between seem to constantly go along with things against their better interest in direct opposition to the decision of rest of the states rurals.
