Here's your Daily News Roundup.

Before Tuesday's primary, polling head Francesca Hong is a clear favorite in the Democratic primary for governor.
On election night, David Crowley, who had dropped out of the race on July 8th, then re-entered nine days later with the endorsement of current Governor Tony Evers, held narrow leads for most of the night while totals were being reported.
It wasn't until Milwaukee County's delayed reporting of over 24,000 absentee ballots that the race was called in favor of Crowley early Wednesday morning.
In addition to Milwaukee County, server issues in Winnebago and Green County's
also delayed the reporting of final vote tallies well into Wednesday.
Crowley will face Republican Tom Tiffany in this fall's general election.
Plenty of attention was on Northern Wisconsin's two contested primaries in Congressional District 7, which became an open seat when Tom Tiffany decided to run for governor.
Republican Michael Alfonso, the son-in-law of former Wisconsin Congressman and current Trump administration cabinet member Sean Duffy, cleared the field and will face Democrat Fred Clark.
Meanwhile, in Western Wisconsin, it'll be a rematch between Republican Congressman Derek Van Orden and Democrat Rebecca Cook in the state's third congressional district.
Madison police officer who shot and killed Corey Ruiz last month is being officially identified.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice says Keele Badinger Peterson was injured by Ruiz with a knife during an attempted arrest on July 22nd and then fired his weapon at Ruiz.
The deadly encounter led to protests at Williamson and Baldwin Streets, including an encampment that lasted until last week.
Badinger Peterson has been with the Madison Police Department for more than 10 years and hasn't been involved with the use of deadly force in the past.
The last group of beagles at Ridgeland Farms will be out of the
facility tomorrow.
Big dog ranch rescue says the final 155 dogs will be released from Blue Mounds, most of which are puppies believed to be just a few months old.
This departure will mark the end of a mission by rescue groups to have all dogs leave Ridgland Farms, a mission that began back in April.
Big dog ranch rescue mentioned it has rescued more than 2100 biggles from the facility to date.

NFL?
Packers head coach Matt O'Fleur says he's thinking about playing Jordan Love some tomorrow night against the Steelers.
It was a year ago that Love played the Jets in a
preseason game and ended up needing surgery to repair a torn ligament in his thumb.
Obviously what happened last year sucked.
It was very tough.
You know, I'm glad the timeline was what it was and I was able to be good for week one.
But definitely one of those things you got to take consideration going into preseason area.
So I think the plan is to play some limited role this week.
See how it goes going forward.
But that's always, you know, something that you got to be smart when you're out there trying to avoid taking hits, things like that.
But you know, it is football.
That's Packers quarterback Jordan Love with Sports on Mike Clemens.
Mostly sunny today with a high in the mid to upper 80s this afternoon.
Tonight, mostly cloudy.
Scattered showers late tonight.
Low in the low to mid 60s tomorrow.
