| Description | With the power of the state Senate hanging in the balance, only the 21st Senate District recall election remained undecided Tuesday.
As of press time, former state Sen. John Lehman, D-Racine leads state incumbent Republican Sen. Van Wanggaard, with 34,412 votes to Wanggaard's 33,965 votes, according to unofficial results with 58 of 60 precincts reporting.
Lehman declared victory early today, after Wanggaard had ended the evening by saying they'd look at results in the morning.
Three other Republicans won state Senate races Tuesday in Wisconsin, meaning the Republicans kept at least 16 seats. But with the fate of Racine County’s 21st Senate District still undecided late Tuesday, it was unclear which party would end up winning the deciding 17th seat to gain a 17-16 majority. |
