Voting in Wisconsin...

Light turnout today, I was Voter Number 264. In the February election, I was 1200 something, and 1400 something in the November election. Both of the earlier elections featured school referendums, so that may explain a higher turnout.

Belling had some good observations today: why are the school referendums passing all of a sudden? Oostburg, my school district, passed theirs in February, 3rd time was the charm. I think they just wore down the voting public, and they would have kept bringing it back until some version would pass.

Election results, especially from some of the Milwaukee burbs who are looking at school referendums upwards of $100 million, should be interesting.

Also will be interesting to see if Linda Clifford's mud slinging campaign will pay off. I don't remember seeing a single ad that extolled her virtues, qualifications, and reasons for being on the Wisconsin State Supremem Court. All I saw was a vindictive character assasination that posed as a campaign. I hope the voters saw through it.
