Hagedorn Declares Victory in State Supreme Court Race

Despite an incredibly close race for the state supreme court, Brian Hagedorn has declared victory over Lisa Neubauer. At last word, both sides were preparing for a recount as Hagedorn led with 50.25% over Neubauer’s 49.75%. That being said, no victor has been officially declared.  Neubauer has not, as of last word, conceded, and is reportedly seeking a recount. The margin of victory was small enough that a recount could be called for. Neubauer released couple of short statements on Twitter looking to “make sure every last vote is counted.” If a recount does happen, Hagedorn’s camp is prepared for that to happen, after raising funds to cover the costs. The Wisconsin Elections Commission says 26-point-6 percent of eligible voters cast votes. In Manitowoc County, Hagedorn collected 10,192 votes, compared to 6,059 for Neubauer.
