Havdi's down about 29,000 votes to incumbent Tammy Baldwin.
His social media message included reasons why he thinks something was off with the election and mentioned the Milwaukee vote.
The city vote comes in late due to state law that remained unchanged from 2020.

According to Deadline, the star of Red 1 confirmed rumors that he was often lead to the set
and held a production from time to time.
Director Jake Cazden and co-star Chris Evans say it was no big deal because it is expected
and more or less written into Johnson's contract because he is a very busy guy.
The rock also admitted to peeing into water bottles to save time.
Word to the wise, if you're working on a set on a Duane Johnson film,
bring a book to read and keep your water on your person.
More Gail Gadot.
Yes, please.
