Supreme Court Race, By The Numbers

Milwaukee County gave hometown State Supreme Court candidate Louis Butler a 25,000 vote cushion, but only with a 58-42% split; Mike Gableman more than made that up in surrounding southeastern Wisconsin counties, records show.

Waukesha County alone gave Gableman a 21,000 vote margin, and a 67-33% division.

With Milwaukee County having substantially more than twice the population of Waukesha County, it means Democrats and liberals are doing a terrible job in Milwaukee County by comparison with Waukesha County in getting out and voting.

Though the totals were smaller in Washington County, the split there was still 70%-30%, Gableman.

Combine that with Gableman wins in many of the more rural counties out-state - - 2,000 votes here, 3,000 votes there - - and he overcame Butler's predictably gaudy Dane County percentage and vote total to prevail.
