The entire state of Wisconsin was hooked on a feeling: Scott Walker fatigue




An erosion of support in diverse set of cities and suburbs spelled defeat for Scott Walker.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 12/22/2018)
The governor improved his numbers in this election in nearly half of Wisconsin’s more than 1,800 municipalities. But the communities where Walker gained ground had an average population of about 1,100 people. They were overwhelmingly small towns and villages with modest voting power. Together, they account for about 16 percent of the state’s population. 
By contrast, Walker lost ground in 39 of the state’s 40 most populous municipalities (representing more than 40 percent of the state’s population). And in most of those places (red or blue), the shifts against Walker were sizable.
