Last week I was told by Tiffany's team that I wouldn't be let into events if I wasn't a fair reporter. Earlier this week, Tiffany said all reporters would be let into his events, even me, when he was asked about Trump's ban on TV stations. Now they're blocking my colleague.

Oh boy. Something got botched with the downloading of results. Milwaukee elections director Paulina Gutierrez calls it human error. They gotta go back to the operations center. It’ll take at least another hour now

As we await Mil Co absentee #s and from people way smarter than me: Unless @FrancescaHongWI pulls 2k-3k more from those absentee ballots than @DavidCCrowley, the path to overtake him is going to be really tough.

Not an endorsement for state treasurer but can't help editorializing about an old acquaintance: Yee Leng Xiong is a good dude. Glad to see him advance.
