Wisconsin’s election bureau, the GAB, has made precinct results available for the Supreme Court race for all but three counties. We’re trying to match these results up with state Senate districts. Jeff and I took a couple of passes at it, and you can see what we’ve done so far on Google Docs. Supreme Court race results are in the first tab, and district locations are in the second tab. Highlighted column K in the first tab is where things stand at the moment, but you’ll see there are still a number of “#N/A” errors. These can either be corrected manually (if people have the time & inclination), or perhaps they can be solved programmatically, if there are any Excel geniuses out there. (The problem lies in split municipalities – wards are often broken up differently in the Supreme Court data than they are in the district locations data in the second tab.)
Anyhow, if you’re interested, please take a look and see if you can’t help us polish this data set off. This information will be very valuable in the coming recall elections.
Prosser didn’t even win one precinct in Dane county. Are there seriously no Republican areas in that county?!? That’s intense.
Looks like Prosser only won Hopper’s district by 53-47. That’s pretty amazing if I’ve done the numbers right. And bodes poorly for Hopper.
District 2 (Robert Cowles – R) – 57.9% Prosser
District 10 (Sheila Harsdorf – R) – 50.5% Prosser
District 12 (Jim Holperin – D) – 55.4% Prosser
District 16 (Mark Miller – D) – 69.8% Kloppenburg
District 18 (Randy Hopper – R) – 52.8% Prosser
District 20 (Glenn Grothman – R) – 74.3% Prosser
District 22 (Robert Wirch – D) – 51.2% Kloppenburg
District 24 (Julie Lassa – D) – 54.9% Kloppenburg
District 26 (Fred Risser – D) – 82.4% Kloppenburg
District 30 (Dave Hansen – D) – 50.01% Kloppenburg (no kidding, a 7-vote margin)
District 32 (Dan Kapanke – R) – 57.7% Kloppenburg
I’m not sure how accurate these numbers are, given the weird ward splits in a lot of the larger towns, but they’re in the ballpark.
