Wisconsin voters turned out in high numbers on Election Day, with significant results impacting the presidential, Senate, and local referenda races across the state. Former President Donald Trump secured a key electoral victory in Wisconsin, helping him cross the 270 electoral vote threshold for a return to the White House. In the closely watched U.S. Senate race, Tammy Baldwin declared victory, although the Associated Press has yet to officially name a winner. In addition, voters across the state faced more than $1 billion in school referenda with mixed results.
According to AP, Wisconsin saw a voter turnout rate of nearly 73% in the presidential race, with the raw number of voters topping out at the highest in state history. As results continue to come in, Republicans have taken control of both the White House and the U.S. Senate, with an eye on potentially winning the House as well. Various state legislature results have been projected, including Republican incumbent Bryan Steil winning reelection in Wisconsin’s 1st Congressional District and Democrat Jodi Habush Sinykin leading in the newly redrawn State Senate District 8.
Overall, Wisconsin voters made their voices heard in various races, reshaping America’s political landscape and setting the stage for the next chapter in the state’s political future.
