2012 Senate Primary: Hovde Edges Thompson In South Milwaukee
South Milwaukee voters in Tuesday’s Republican U.S. Senate primary chose Eric Hovde.
Hovde got 706 of the 2,219 votes cast in the Senate race locally, or 31.8%, to Thompson’s 672 votes, or 30.2%. Jeff Fitzgerald (438 votes, 19.7%) was third, and Mark Neumann (401 votes, 18.1%) was fourth.
Statewide, numbers were trending differently, as Thompson held a small lead over Hovde as of 10 p.m.
The winner of the primary faces Tammy Baldwin on Nov. 6.
See local primary results here. Among some key numbers:
- Turnout was pretty high for a primary at 23.2%, as 2,874 voters (out of 12,393 registered voters) cast ballots.
- More than 1,500 Republican voters went to the polls, compared with 462 Democratic voters. Of course, there were no contested Democrtic races in the primary, keeping turnout low.
- Thompson and Hovde split the city’s four districts. Thompson won in the Second and Third, Hovde in the First and Fourth.
Of course, I’d like to know what you think of the results. Post your comments below!
