WI-07 turnout by primary with 99% in

Republican: 76,056 (65.5%)
Democratic: 40,037 (34.5%)

The Republican one was more heavily contested, but still, that's something that doesn't look great for Democrats.

93% is in and only 178,000 votes. In 2018 it was 322,000 total.

That's downright amazing, considering the circumstances.

No, but it is funny that the narrative they tried to build up fell flat. Tiffany performed very similarly to Walker in 2018, not like Kelly or Vukmir. Underperforming Trump by a fair amount in a special election is expected in a rural Romney +2/Trump +20 type of district. These results, if you want to extrapolate them, indicate a very competitive Wisconsin in 2020, not a blue wave.

These special elections back in May ended up being a pretty glaring hint about the proceeding political environment in November - a competitive election, not a blue wave. So in that way, 538 was right. Special elections in the current year do provide some insight, just not the insight they wanted.
