Turnout hits more than 2.9 million in prez race

More than 2.9 million voters cast ballots in the presidential race, which was slightly below the Ethics Commission's projection of 3.1 million, according to unofficial returns.

With 3,614 out of 3,620 precincts reporting, Donald Trump had 1.4 million votes, while Hillary Clinton had 1.38 million.

By comparison, Barack Obama won Wisconsin in 2012 with just more than 1.6 million votes, while Mitt Romney took 1.4 million.

Overall, 3,068,434 votes were cast in the 2012 presidential election.

In the Senate race, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson was on pace to pull about 70,000 more votes than Trump. Dem Russ Feingold was on pace to get about 1,500 fewer votes than Clinton.
