Democrats Cruise to Victory for Wisconsin Education Post

· Leave a Comment

The Democratic Party-backed Jill Underly defeated Deborah Kerr Tuesday to become the Wisconsin’s top education official, 58% to 42%, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

Daily Kos Elections: “Turnout was high for this off-year election: 912,678 were cast in this race, compared to the 708,289 votes tallied in 2017.”

If you’re looking for evidence that Democratic-leaning voters are still fired up even with Trump out of office, this is a good data point.

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
