11:49 AM: Madison turnout at 7 percent
Two statewide races on the ballot plus a hotly contested county executive's race hasn't exactly resulted in a rush to the polls in the Capitol City this morning.
Dane County Clerk Bob Ohlsen said turnout as of 11 a.m. in Madison was about 7 percent. Ohlsen said he is expecting 20 percent to 25 percent for the day.
In Middleton, where the Middleton-Cross Plains School District is proposing three referenda totaling $71 million, turnout is a little more brisk. According to a worker in the clerk's office there, polling places were running at about 500 ballots cast as of 11:30 a.m. There is also a mayor's race in Middleton.
Ohlsen said the county doesn't track poll numbers throughout the day except for in Madison.
