Recall candidate has bills, plans and papers published on her legislative and campaign websites that outline how Gov. Walker could have balanced the budget without the divisiveness of Act 10.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Kathleen Vinehout is well aware that voters around the state are not familiar with her or where she stands on issues like education, healthcare and getting the state's financial house in order.

"That's why we need to really understand the numbers of this whole budget thing and then spread the word through our social media networks. We need to be educated."

Attorney Mark Nielsen trails attorney Timothy Boyle by 57 votes after the Board of Canvass was conducted by the Racine County Clerk's office.

After Racine County canvassed its votes and included some outstanding absentee ballots in the count, Nielsen was still behind, but only by 57 votes. In Wisconsin, recounts are not automatic and a candidate has to …
