People have been leaving Baldwin’s watch party. Some voters say it’s because they expect the race to take a long time to be called, so they would rather go home and call it a night.

Senator Tammy Baldwin is holding a watch party tonight at the Orpheum Theater starting at 8pm. I will be covering the Senator’s campaign all evening. @CamberynKelley will be covering her opponent, Eric Hovde. @wmtv15news

On the first day of in person absentee voting in Wisconsin, @GovTimWalz and @BarackObama make a campaign stop in Madison. Both democrats are expected to speak a little after 1pm. I’m talking to attendees ahead of the main event. @wmtv15news

Obama takes the stage. Says he was late because his plane in Chicago was leaking oil. The rally is running more than an hour behind.

For Colleen Robson from Lodi, the most important issue is supporting public education. She says she has met Walz before in the education sphere and is excited to see a teacher on the ticket. @wmtv15news

Kasenia Mazurek from West Bend and her sister aren’t old enough to vote yet, but the two have been dancing non-stop to the DJ music ahead of the rally. Kasenia tells me she supports Harris because she is intelligent and kind. She is also a big fan of Governor Walz. @wmtv15news

BREAKING: We confirmed with a UW plant expert this is cannabis in a flower bed outside the Wisconsin State Capitol. The expert does not know if it is hemp or the drug type. Testing would have to happen to determine that.

Closing arguments begin in a few minutes in the case of Marshawn Giles, the man already found guilty of killing a 20 month old baby girl and assaulting her mother. Phase two of the trial is for the jury to decide if Giles did the crime under mental defect, the insanity plea.

Verdict: 12 jurors vote NO. Giles did not have a mental defect at the time of the crime. It’s unanimous. He is guilty and not insane. That means he faces life in prison.

Agreement by 10 or more jurors is sufficient. There doesn’t have to be a unanimous yes or no.
