Wisconsin's hotly contested race for U.S. Senate between Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin and Republican Eric Houghdee,
who President-elect Donald Trump backed, appeared to be close enough or recount to be requested.
Baldwin, a two-term incumbent, declared victory early Wednesday over Houghdee a multi-millionaire businessman who poured millions of his own money into the race.
The Associated Press says it's too close to call. Houghdee did not concede Wednesday nor did he say if he would seek a recount.
Baldwin had a lead of 0.9% based on the unofficial results, just within the 1% margin that would allow for Houghdee to request a recount if he pays for it.
Taking a look at the results from Wisconsin's Congressional House Races this week, in the second Congressional District,
incumbent Democrat Mark Pocan held his seat over Republican challenger Eric Olson.
In the fifth, Republican incumbent Scott Fitzgerald was reelected, so was the Republican incumbent in the sixth Congressional District Glenn Grossman.
In the open eighth race, Republican Tony Weed defeated Democrat Kristen Leierley.
Democrat Gwen Moore, the incumbent won her race in the fourth Congressional District, and in the first Congressional race,
Republican incumbent Brian Steele topped Democratic Poonit, Peter Barker.
In the highly contested third Congressional District, Derek Van Orden has come out as the winner.
Wisconsin Assembly Representative Lori Palmerie of Oshkosh will return to Madison.
Oshkosh was one of the last municipalities to have all the ballots counted, so counts lasted well into Wednesday.
When all was said and done, Assembly District 54 incumbent Democrat Palmerie defeated challenger Tim Patterson by 413 votes.
Area races that are still too close to call are for Assembly District 53, where GOP Dean Crawford appears to be winning by less than 400 votes,
and Assembly District 88, where GOP Benjamin Franklin has 221 votes more than Christie Welch.

Wang's arraignment is set for November 18th. Wu's mother Katrina Bauer is also charged in the case with Child Neglect leading to death.

It's the Bucks and the Jazz.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports.
The Bucks and the Utah Jazz face off tonight in Milwaukee.
Both teams struggling with one in six records.
Is their pressure to finally snap the six-game losing streak, Doc Rivers?
No, this is the positive group.
We believe we're a really good basketball team that has played poorly.
You know, last two games you can say we play well and lost the games.
The Boys and Girls State High School volleyball tournament is underway in Green Bay.
The boys final for the state title is tomorrow night at 730, Saturday night for the girls, NFL.
Linebacker Preston Smith on why the Packers traded him to the Steelers.
To be honest, a few weeks ago I requested a trade.
I didn't feel like I was being useful in the system and it wasn't catering to my playstyle and moving forward.
I wasn't surprised when I got the call.
I got what I asked for and I'm at a great place with some great teammates.
And, you know, I'm excited for the new start and I'm excited for the rest of the journey for this season.
That Steelers linebacker Preston Smith with sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba.
If you're looking for some post-election escapism, check out Apple TV's Slow Horses.
The show follows a bunch of rag tag disgraced MI5 operatives led by Gary Oldman.
Oldman is disgusting, dishevelled gaseous cramudge, but a very nuanced character.
I'm laid to the party myself having just gotten halfway through season one.
But it is very entertaining and I love when I find a show where I have multiple seasons ahead of me for some serious TV binge watching.
Over the last few years, people have been talking about films as content.
That's a filthy word.
It's not content, it's bleeping work.
Those are the words of Paul Muskel.
The star of Gladiator 2.
Muskel says he does not like when the artistry of Good Cinema and Movie Making,
which takes time and effort and lots of patience, is compared to an Instagram post.
I don't totally disagree, but you can judge for yourself as Gladiator 2 opens November 15th.
Unlike with social media content, you will need an attention span.
According to Yahoo News, Michael Jackson got into a fight with Tupac Shakur when he came to the defense of Kadita Jones,
daughter of recently deceased music icon Quincy Jones.
Sources say Jackson was present when Tupac, who was dating Kadita, called her the B word.
Jackson, who was like an uncle to Kadita, had words with Tupac, then the two squared off and supposedly Jackson got the better of him.
It's unclear whether or not it was a dance off.
During an interview on Conan O'Brien's podcast, beloved actor Tom Hanks dropped one of George Carlin's seven words you can't say on TV.
Hanks used the fifth word in the seven word sequence, well worth a Google,
when referring to a critic who panned his new film here.
Hanks added that the same critic panned his directorial debut years ago, that thing you do,
and just a few months ago called it a cult classic.
Hanks did have a lighthearted tone when he dropped the CS bomb to Conan,
and said that's what we signed up for.
