I'm Frederica Freyberg. You're watching
l ive election nightcoverage
in Wisconsin. Just alittle under an
h our since pollshave
c losed across the
state. And we have a smattering ofresults
to report i
n the U.S. Senate race. Tammy Baldwin sits
at 50%. Eric Hovde,
47.9%, with32% of precincts
reporting. Now it's sti
ll very early and isexpected to be
a late night andinto the
morning, but we check in now
on the election night
headquarters for Republican Eri
c Hovde, who hopes to beatincumbent Democrat
Tammy Baldwin for a s
eat in the U.S. S
enate. And we turn to reporter Steven
Potter, who's been covering t
his race this election season.
What are you hearing, Steve, from thecampaign
there tonight ?>> The Hovde
campaign has said that t
hey a
re hearing good things out of Oconto, Shawano
and Washington counties, but they're also keeping a
close eye on counties like Sauk
C ounty andLa Crosse
County as an indicator
to how the rest of the state
might go. And lastly,
they're also trying to pull
out more Republican voters f
rom the Democratic strongholds ofMadison and Milwaukee
to helpthem tip the
scale for Eric Toney.>> So what's the
m ood like thereright
now ?>> The mood
is cautious. People are excited. But as you
can maybe see behind me, the room is
not f
illed. People are watching the screens and they're alsochecking
their phones. So theyare hopeful. But
i t's not a lot
of energy yet.>>
So you were out across the
state while the polls were open.What did
you see and hear ?>> We stopped
first at Spring Green and things were slow
there. Then we moved on
to Richland Center. Also a smallcommunity
, also kind of slowthere. Then we
finally stopped by Baraboo
and things were very busy with a long
line of newlyregistered
voters hoping to vote, and also registered
voters stretching out of the buildingand into
the rain around 4 p.m.Today.
So how is the top of theticket
influenced this race ?>> Well, currently
it looks like Eric Hovde is running out
ahead of Trump just a bit. But
he's also trying to capture as manyTrump
voters as possible andalign himself
with that campaign. We
know that this race isvery high stakes
for control ofthe U.S.
Senate, and so everyoneis watching
this very , veryclosely. We
will be back here inanother
hour with more from theBaldwin election night
headquarters . Steve. Thank you.
