Wanggaard supporters ready for long night; Lehman still optimistic
When Van Wanggaard's supporters were told of Sen. Terry Moulton's win, they were also told to settle in for a long night.
Former Sen. John Lehman told WisPolitics by phone that he isn't fazed "one way or the other" by results favoring Republicans in the rest of the state.
"The 21st Senate District is a lot different than the rest of the state," Lehman said, adding that he is focused on the results of his contest.
Lehman said he wasn't sure why results were coming in slower in the 21st, but noted that some polling places had run out of ballots and others still had long lines after 7 o'clock.
Overall, he said the supporters at his party are just waiting on the returns to come, adding that the numbers he has seen show a tight race.
