    The Pasch-Darling race could decide control, and that's going to be a doozy. With the previous problems in Wisconsin elections -- looky this, 7,000 ballots we missed right over here! -- and with that district encompassing the white folks out in the burbs and non-whites in the city, I could see it being tied up in court for months, with Senate control hanging in the balance.

    And LaCrosse puts the Democrats on the board with Jennifer Schilling.

    #32 called for Democrat Shilling.

    Democrats look on track to pick up #18 as well - they're up by about 130 votes with only precincts from Democrat-friendly Winnebago County remaining.

    Looks like it will come down to #8, which has been very slow to report and also includes Waukesha - site of the 7,000 suddenly discovered ballots during the Supreme Court case.

    In short, this likely will drag into tomorrow.

    District 2: Precincts Reporting - 83 of 90
    District 10: Precincts Reporting - 100 of 114
    District 14: Precincts Reporting - 123 of 126
    District 18: Precincts Reporting - 94 of 108
    District 32: Precincts Reporting - 97 of 119
    District 8: Precincts Reporting - 32 of 78

    One of these things is not like the others.

    Is it still being run by that same nincompoop who didn't know how to use her computer?

    If your average urban elections head ran the Pony Express, we'd still be waiting to hear about Sutter's Mill.

    Looks like it is official for King (D) in the 18th.

    It's down to Waukesha County and Milwaukee in the 8th.

    That 18th was Randy Hopper -- the guy whose house was being protested in the spring until his wife came out to meet the protesters and said Randy wasn't home, he was living with his mistress in Madison, and both the soon-to-be-ex-wife and the maid would sign the recall petition. I'm surprised he kept it as close as he did.

    Delay in Waukesha County. What a surprise.

    No results for at least an hour, which would be midnight local time. This in a county that went for McCain by 25 points.
