LIVE 2012 ELECTION RESULTS

Presidential and U.S. Senate results only represent votes in Brookfield. Congressional and state legislative results are for entire district.

LAST UPDATE: Results not yet available

UPDATED AT 7:30 P.M.

A Wauwatosa voter turnout of over 90 percent was being predicted by officials at the City Clerk's office when there was still an hour left before the polls would close.

City clerks had no hard numbers from all 24 city wards, but anecdotally, numbers were expected to best the 86.5 percent turnout in 2008, when Barack Obama won Wauwatosa and, of course, the presidency.

No major problems at the polls had been reported through the day, although there were brief voting machine jams, said Deputy Clerk Susan Van Hoven.

"There are always machine jams," Van Hoven said. "That's why we have three people out all day going from one site to another. Usually, with turnout this heavy, it's just that the bin is full and the machine can't accept any more, or somebody didn't close the cover."

The real problem, for Wauwatosa clerks, was not voting irregularities but irregular voters, Van Hoven said.

"It's people who live in other places who want to vote here," Van Hoven said. "They're not trying to circumvent the law, they just don't understand voting laws."

As illustration, an assistant clerk was on the phone during Patch's interview with Van Hoven – a woman visiting from Georgia who could not understand why she could not vote here – and was getting pretty irate about being told she couldn't.

"We explain to them about absentee voting," Van Hoven said. "But they are just desperate about wanting to vote. Seriously, they get very desperate. It's shoot the messenger time. I had one woman earlier today call me a 'dummyhead.'

"In the last presidential election, there was a woman here at the Extended Stay who insisted she had the right to vote here. When we tried to explain why she couldn't, she said she was calling a lawyer."

The ongoing phone conversation in the background, with the frustrated Georgia voter, ended from the Wauwatosa clerk's end: "Well, I'm just not going to listen to someone screaming over the phone at me."

UPDATED AT 3 P.M.

Some Wauwatosa wards had already topped the 50 percent turnout mark by 2 p.m., with six hours left before the polls close.

At City Hall, District 2's Ward 5 had already tallied a whopping 64.5 percent, with 782 ballots cast out of 1,147 registered voters.

City Clerk Carla Ledesma said at 2 p.m. that she did not have early turnout tallies citywide, but she had toured polling places and called the turnout "heavy and steady."

"I was at Wilson, and they had a line from opening until noon," she said. "It did quiet down after that. I'm sure the turnout is going to be high."

In fact, the turnout was already high before the polls ever opened. Ledesma said early and absentee voting was very high this year.

"We issued 9,300 ballots – that's in-person, absentee and by-mail – and we've gotten back more than 9,000," she said. Ledesma said Wauwatosa has just over 34,000 registered voters, meaning nearly 30 percent of voters opted to vote early.

At Wilson Elementary School, turnout just after 2 p.m. was over 50 percent in one ward and nearly there in another.

At District 2, Ward 6, 575 of 1,059 registered had voted, and in District 3, Ward 7, it was 749 of 1,840.

UPDATED AT 1:15 P.M.

We just heard that from Gov. Scott Walker's campaign office that he did indeed vote this morning in Wauwatosa. We were at his polling place at Jefferson School around 7:30 and he had not shown up yet.

UPDATED AT 9 A.M.

More than 100 people were in line at 8:30 a.m. at Roosevelt Elementary School. In fact, there were three voters who got in line before 6 a.m. — a full hour before the polls opened.

The chief election inspector said there were fewer people are registering at the polls than in during the gubernatorial recall election. Most people made sure they were registered before today, the inspector said.

One voter said it took about 30 minutes to go through the 100-deep line.

UPDATED AT 7:30 A.M

There was a long line of Wauwatosa voters waiting for the doors of Jefferson Elementary School to open at 7 a.m., with a wait of about 20 minutes for a ballot for District 4 wards 11 and 12.

In an election where he isn't running, Gov. Scott Walker did not make his usual early showing to vote in his home ward, the 11th.
