Just 215 votes.
That's how close the Republican primary in the 6th Congressional District was on Tuesday, leaving the winner in doubt as state Sen. Glenn Grothman for now holds on to a slim lead over state Sen. Joe Leibham.
At one point Tuesday night, the election looked like a clear-cut victory for Grothman, with The Associated Press declaring him the winner with a margin of victory of more than 4,800 votes.
But Grothman's sizable lead evaporated as more votes came in from late-reporting Sheboygan County, where Leibham lives. The early-morning tally from Sheboygan County showed Leibham winning that county by nearly 4,600 votes, or 61 percent.
By the end of the night, the unofficial tally stood at 23,241 votes for Grothman and 23,026 for Leibham. The official tally is not yet been finished.

It looks like Glenn Grothman will be the nominee, but a recount seems likely. If this were 2008, the DemocRAT would likely win in an upset, but this isn’t 2008. In this political climate, we’ll win though it may be close.

Right or wrong after reading that I can’t help but think of Chicago.
In the TN 4th District we only have 35 votes..
still not decided..
Grothman is the conservative.
One of the others is a Scott Walker guy so that makes me suspect on national policy.
Where has Scott Walker been the last month on the border issue? Even Bobby Jindal and Rick Perry are pretending they are not open borders.
