Feingold campaign manager: It ain't over
Feingold's campaign manager George Aldrich told the crowd in Middleton that only 40 percent of the vote has been reported.
“Russ is down by 80,000 votes, but...up to 1.4 million votes haven’t been counted,” he told the crowd.
Among those votes that have been counted, there is “not a single vote” from the city of Madison, he said.
“We are confident that this race is going to tighten, it is going to tighten quickly, and we may be in for a long night here,” he said.
Cheers erupted from the crowd and Feingold’s supporters have become buoyant and upbeat.
Aldrich, interviewing with WMTV in Madison, says they're not throwing in the towel despite media outlets calling the race for Johnson.
"There's reason for optimism," he said.
He said there remain 300,000 votes to be counted in Milwaukee County, and another 200,000 in Dane County.
