Election Results will appear HERE

Currently, after retrieving voter numbers from all of the local polling places, we are up to 10% voter turnout.

Personally visited Town of Jackson, where they were heavily staffed and super-friendly.

Village of Jackson volunteers were some really nice folks, as well.  Someone outside of the polling place had a van parked in the lot with RECALL posters on the windows.  She was handing out flyers to recall Village Board members Scott Mittelsteadt and Jeff Brandner for their  push to disband the police department and other financial accusations on the flyer.  They were also asking people to sign a recall petition.  I believe you only need 25% of the voters who voted in the previous election to get the recall onto a referendum, so I guess that's what she was attempting.

Town of West Bend, Town of Trenton - all rather quiet, but again, volunteers were great people!

Stay tuned for updates on election results.

West Bend School Board Candidate Forum - Video

You can read a synopsis of the event HERE at Boots & Sabers.  No need for me to reiterate as I agree with Owen's take.  The questions were fair and balanced.  An overall well done forum.

I shot some footage.  I was unable to catch all the questions on the video, but you can get the gist by the answers of the candidates.  I believe I missed one of Randy Marquardt's answers on one of them.  Sorry 'bout that.  For what it's worth....
