(NEXSTAR) — Decision Desk HQ on The Hill projects Donald Trump as the winner in battleground Wisconsin’s presidential election, furthering the former president's Electoral College lead with another 10 votes. The call came less than an hour after Decision Desk HQ called Pennsylvania for Trump, securing him the 270 Electoral College votes necessary to win the White House. In the weeks leading up to Election Day, both Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris made frequent stops in Wisconsin, including several appearances in and around Milwaukee, Madison, and Green Bay. Polling ahead of Election Day frequently showed Trump and Harris were deadlocked in the Badger State. Wisconsin, a “blue wall” state, narrowly went for Trump in 2016. Four years later, Biden won back the state in 2020 with a margin of about 20,000 votes. Michigan and Pennsylvania followed the same trend. The Badger State was one of seven considered up for grabs during this election, joining Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. Both candidates had various paths to the White House that depended on these states. Prior to Trump’s win in 2016, a Republican presidential candidate had not carried Wisconsin since President Ronald Reagan (he won the state both times). The U.S. Senate race on Wisconsin’s ballot may also have contributed to turnout. Democratic incumbent Tammy Baldwin was seeking a third term against Republican Eric Hovde. In the state Legislature, Democrats hoped that new district maps would help them chip away at the lopsided majorities Republicans have enjoyed in both chambers for more than a decade. Almost half of Wisconsin’s 33 state Senate seats and all 99 state Assembly seats were up for election this year. In the state Assembly, Democrats have their most competitive campaign cycle in years, thanks in large part to the newly redrawn districts and the retirements they helped bring about. Wisconsin voters were also asked to consider a statewide ballot measure that would amend the state constitution to specifically ban noncitizens from voting in state elections. Noncitizens are already barred from participating in federal elections nationwide, and no state permits them to vote in state elections. However, some municipalities in a handful of states allow noncitizens to vote in local elections. The issue has prompted efforts by Republicans in Congress and several other states to ban the practice entirely. Recounts are not automatic in Wisconsin, but candidates may request and pay for one if the vote margin is less than a percentage point. The Associated Press may declare a winner in a race that is eligible for a recount if it can determine the lead is too large for a recount or legal challenge to change the outcome.
