A long night for Wisconsin Vote

Tuesday night was likely a late one for anyone who follows elections. I was at work into the wee hours updating our Wisconsin Vote site with election returns. A long night, but well worth it as we had record setting usage of the joint Wisconsin Public Radio and Television voting resource.

More than 70,000 visits to the site were recorded on election day, coming close to doubling our previous record day, the February 2008 presidential primary between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Another 40,000 came to the site the day after Tuesday's election to check on results.

It was a good election season for us at Wisconsin Vote. We'll update it with this week's recap from Here & Now and then let it rest until this spring, when a seat on the state supreme court is up for an April election.
