Perfect Storm? Early voting in Madison suggests 50% turnout Tuesday

I asked the lady who helped me how the early voting was going. She said that the City Clerk's office had already taken in over 2,000 early ballots, which is more early ballots at this stage of the race than were cast in the February 2008 presidential preference election (principally split between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton for the Democrats, and John McCain and Mike Huckabee for the GOP).

The Wisconsin GAB reports on that primary show 165,959 votes for both parties' candidates, which was 50% of the 332,221 registered voters in Dane County in 2008. If 50% of the voters in Dane County turn out on Tuesday, and if the vote totals statewide are in the usual range of 800,000 to 830,000 voters for a Spring judicial election, Dane County could be twenty percent of the state-wide vote total.

2. That is Outstanding

Nothing could be better than an immediate rollback of the GOP agenda at the ballot box. It will put the party in an uproar and serious weaken the Tea Party contingent.

3. Dane County is Democratic.

And if turnout is large, Democrats win.
