SOS: Easy Victory for LaFollette

Dem activist Scot Ross conceded to his primary opponent Doug La
Follette shortly after media outlets called the secretary of state
primary race.

"(Ross) was very kind," La Follette said over the phone of his
opponent's concession, adding he was "very honored the voters of
Wisconsin" chose him to seek an eighth term in office.

Ross said in an interview that he told La Follette he's "there for
Democrats," and will support him in the general election where the
incumbent will face Republican Sandy Sullivan.

Ross rallied his supporters at Madison's Genna's Lounge, saying his
campaign did a "good job at raising the issue (of elections in the SOS
office), bringing enthusiasm, and raising the issue to protect the
right to vote."

One of Ross's main issues in the primary revolved around the SOS
office tackling voter and election issues.

With just above 93 percent of precincts reporting, La Follette had a
71 to 29 percent lead over Ross.
