Candidates for the Wisconsin Senate race, incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin and Republican candidate Eric Hovde, sparred over the issue of reproductive rights in the state during a televised debate. The state's Senate seat is highly contested as both parties compete for control of Congress.
Republican Eric Hovde refused Tuesday to concede defeat in the Wisconsin Senate race, casting doubt on the results despite a lack of evidence of any wrongdoing in last week's election. In a 4½-minute video on X, Hovde said he was considering whether to seek a recount in the battleground state contest, which NBC News and other outlets projected last week that Sen. Tammy Baldwin had won. She leads by less than 30,000 votes, 49.4% to 48.5%, with 99% of the vote counted.
Democrats have traditionally been more likely to vote absentee than Republicans, and Milwaukee is one of the main Democratic bastions in Wisconsin. In addition, election workers are not allowed to begin processing absentee ballots until Election Day, which often leads to those votes’ getting reported later. Hovde also claimed that voter turnout in certain precincts in Milwaukee was higher than the numbers of registered voters on file.
