Turnout slow, light, steady
Today’s primary turnout has been slow, light and steady, GAB Director Kevin Kennedy says.
Kennedy said the only problem he’d heard of today was one district in southwestern Wisconsin that had a misprint on the ballot telling voters to pick four candidates rather than two as it should have.
Otherwise, he said the state seemed to be on pace for 10 percent turnout as the Government Accountability Board had predicted.
In Madison, turnout had hit 6 percent by 11 a.m.
Milwaukee Election Commission executive director Sue Edman said turnout there had been projected to be around 30,000. She wasn’t sure it would get that high, but said some wards on the south and southwest sides were reporting decent activity.
“We’re not getting a lot of trouble calls, so that’s good,” she said.
