Unofficial Tallies
According to the Wisconsin Election Commission website, Wisconsin does not have a statewide system using a central official website or feed where unofficial results are reported on Election Night. Unofficial election results reported on Election Night instead are gathered, typically by the media, from each of Wisconsin’s 72 counties. Unofficial tallies are recorded and posted, as stipulated by state law, on Election Night on each county’s website.
