Brown County driving Hovde's early performance
Eric Hovde's returns in Brown County appear to be driving his early performance in the GOP U.S. Senate primary.
With 55 of the county's 95 precincts in, Hovde had 7,133 votes, or 45 percent, to 4,152 for Tommy Thompson, or 26 percent.
Brown County accounts for about one-fourth of Hovde's early returns statewide.
Still, returns are just trickling in for the key GOP counties of Ozaukee, Waukesha and Washington, which will likely be key in the final outcome.
