Some updated numbers
All the returns from yesterday's races aren't in yet this morning. But here are a few updates on the top races:
With 93 percent of precincts in, Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson has 59 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Jefferson County Judge Randy Koschnick.
With the same total in, Tony Evers has 57 percent of the vote for superintendent of Public Instruction compared to 43 percent for Rose Fernandez.
And Dane County Exec Kathleen Falk is winning with 59 percent of the vote compared to less than 41 percent for Nancy Mistele. There were 35 wards in the city of Madison that hadn't been reported yet on the Dane County Web site. If they follow the pattern of the rest of the city, Falk should end up winning re-election with more than 60 percent of the vote in a race many expected to be tight.
