5:36 PM: Three recounts possible
It appears there could be at least three recounts following close results Tuesday.
Dems indicated they plan to seek recounts in the 47th Assembly District north of Madison, where Republican Keith Ripp edged Dem Trish O'Neil by 48 votes. It's also expected that one will be requested in the 18th Senate District formerly held by Carol Roessler of Oshkosh; Republican Randy Hopper posted a win over Dem Jessica King by 180 votes.
Republicans are also eyeing northwestern Wisconsin's 67th Assembly District, where independent Rep. Jeff Wood held off Don Mogan by 175 votes.
Government Accountability Board officials say they expect to oversee three recounts in those very districts.
