Voter turnout for the spring election was poised to beat expectations Tuesday, according to election officials across the state.
Clerks reported signs of especially strong turnout early Tuesday, despite freezing rain and snow in parts of the state.
"I'm not certain if people are coming out earlier because they know the snow is coming or it's just going to be a higher turnout race," said Ashley Reichert, clerk for Washington County, a conservative stronghold.
Reichert said an early afternoon report from city of West Bend election officials put turnout there at about 16 percent by 1 p.m., which matched countywide turnout for the entire day in last year's spring election.

(3,577 posts)the turnout is on track to be almost double that of last year. (For comparison, last year this ward gave Tony Evers more than twice the votes of Republican-supported Lowell Holtz.)
My district in Milwaukee was at least double than last election by the time I got there.
