Record turnout was seen nationwide on Tuesday for the 2024 election, with Wisconsin playing a key role in the presidential race.

Multiple outlets declared Former President Donald Trump the winner early Wednesday morning after Wisconsin’s ten electoral votes were declared in his favor. That gave Trump 277 of the needed 270 to claim the presidency.

In state races, incumbent Joel Kitchens (R) defeated challenger Renee Paplham (D) by a 62 percent to 38 percent margin to retain his seat in the District 1 Assembly.

Republican Tony Wied was declared the winner over Dr. Kristen Liverly (D) by a 57.3 to 42.7 margin.

U.S. Senator  Tammy Baldwin looks like she retains her seat as she declared victory last night in a close race with Eric Hovde (R), but only leads by less than 29,000 votes and has a slight 49.4 – 48.5 margin with 98 percent of the vote in as of 7:00 am Wednesday.

Closer to home, both the Sevastopol and Washington Island School Districts referendums passed to allow them to exceed their spending caps for improvements.
