South Milwaukee Election Results: Almost A Judicial Dead Heat Locally

Challenger Carolina Stark and incumbent Nelson Phillips III have advanced to the April general election for Milwaukee County Circuit Court judge in Branch 17 — and the race was almost a tie in South Milwaukee.

Check out the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel story here. And here are the South Milwaukee results, which showed less than 20 votes separating first and third place …

  • Nelson Phillips III: 373
  • Carolina Stark: 360
  • Christopher Lipscomb: 353

If you don’t mind sharing, who did you vote for and why?

(And check out Oak Creek Patch for their local results. Oak Creek had mayoral, aldermanic and clerk races onthe ballot Tuesday.)

There Is An Election On Tuesday …

Update: Be sure to vote in my poll on this. And here is a sample ballot.

With all of the big-name elections coming up this year — from the gubernatorial recall to the presidential election — it’s easy to forget that the spring primaries are on Tuesday.

Voters heading to the polls in South Milwaukee will see just one race on the ballot: Milwaukee County Court, Branch 17. This is because none of the incumbents running for re-election in the city have competition in 2012, and the South Milwaukee School Board race (in which three people are running for two seats) won’t require a primary.

Of course, other communities have contested primaries, including Oak Creek, which will see primary elections for mayor, clerk and alderman on the ballot.

Christopher Lipscomb Sr., Nelson Phillips III and Carolina Stark are running for the Branch 17 judgeship. Phillips is the incumbent.

And don’t forget that the City Council meeting has been rescheduled for Wednesday this week due to the election.

Election Results: Good Turnout, Strong Republican Success Again in South Milwaukee

This was not your typical February primary … and that’s why voter turnout was a solid 20.8 percent in South Milwaukee on Tuesday.

In all, 2,279 of 13,378 registered voters came out to the polls, according to figures from the city clerk’s office on Tuesday night.

From the report:

  • Not surprisingly, Republicans polled strongly in South Milwaukee. Jeff Stone, the conservative candidate for Milwaukee County executive, drew 1,321 votes, or 48.2 percent, almost twice as many as Chris Abele (716) and Jim Sullivan (639). Now, if you assume that Abele and Sullivan voters will unite behind Abele (who will join Stone on the general election ballot), things might be interesting in April …
  • Lee Holloway received just 49 votes, or just 1.7 percent, for county executive.
  • Conservative Supreme Court Justice David Prosser also did well here, with 1,543 votes, or 59.4 percent, compared with 607, or 23.4 percent, for second-place finisher Joanne Kloppenburg. Both will advance to the general election in April.
  • The Milwaukee County Circuit Court race was much tighter, not surprisingly, with Ray Korte edging Christopher Lipscomb and Pedro Colon. Korte did not fare as well across the area, and Colon will face Lipscomb in the April general election.
  • The 4th District proved a little less conservative than the city as a whole. Stone drew 45.3 percent (327) of the 721 votes cast in the district in the county executive primary, while Prosser drew 57.5 percent (389) of the 676 votes cast for judge.

The general election is April 5, when you’ll see local aldermanic and school board races on the ballot.

This includes my seat. I appreciate your support.
