“Appeals Judge Brian Hagedorn (R) held a narrow lead early Wednesday in the race for Wisconsin Supreme Court, according to unofficial tallies that were so close both sides were bracing for a recount,” the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.
“Hagedorn led fellow Appeals Judge Lisa Neubauer (D) 50.2% to 49.8% with nearly all of Tuesday’s votes unofficially counted… But the margin was so narrow that the Associated Press had not yet called the race as of 5 a.m. Wednesday.”
