By calling it without counting the Dem strongholds, which had a HUGE turnout! It's sending the message, it doesn't matter if you people vote or not.

8. Wrong, in 2008 500,000 people voted in Milwaukee County

Obama beat McCain by 170k votes.

Only 150k votes have been counted so far in Milwaukee County.

It's conceivable that if Milwaukee County has another 350k votes uncounted alone Barrett could close the gap by 150k.

Which as of this posting would mean a mere 45k vote difference between Walker and Barrett. Not likely, but definitely possible.
