Democrats have won 2 of the 6 seats (King and Shilling) and Republicans have won 3 of the 6 (Olsen, Harsdorf, and Cowles), and the race between Darling and Pasch is still up in the air, I'm betting the results won't be 100% verified until morning, but Darling has the lead after the votes from Waukesha County were finally released. There could be a recount afterwards for Pasch, and Waukesha County's clerk Kathy Nickolaus is being accused of tampering with the results, after she withheld the results the same way back in spring during the Supreme Court election. It could go either way.
I'm a political science major, and a bit of a news junkie, so this kind of thing is exciting for meβ¦
