10:58 PM: Butler chances starting to fade
Justice Louis Butler's hopes to retain his seat on the state Supreme Court are starting to dim.
With 79 percent of the vote in, Gableman has an edge of some 12,000 votes and 51 percent of the vote, according to unofficial returns. Much of heavily Republican Waukesha County was still out for those numbers.
Michael Gableman's supporters are feeling more and more confident as the returns come in, while Butler's backers aren't seeing many positives in the latest numbers.
