A mixed bag tonight for both sides. Dems get easily their best performance so far, netting 78% of the turnout in Vermont. But the GOP gets 57% in Wisconsin, placing serious doubt on that being a pickup opportunity for Dems. Connecticut is a little weird, as a lack of contested primaries leads me to use the SOS race. But for what it's worth, D's got 55% there.

I still think Ron Johnson is a slight favorite, but tbf, Republicans had a very hotly contested gubernatorial primary in Wisconsin while Democrats really had nothing statewide.

Also, there were a fair number of folks who crossed over to vote Republican in Wisconsin's primary as the senate was the main Democratic draw and everyone dropped to give it to Barnes prior to election day. It's anecdotal, but in Dane county, a number of people mentioned voting in the Republican primary rather than the Democratic one because they wanted to affect the race for the Republican governor candidate. Since Wisconsin doesn't require party registration, people can choose which party's primary to vote in super easily.
