Newcomer Joe Voiland ousted incumbent Tom Wolfgram in the Ozaukee County Circuit Court race during Tuesday's election. Here's the breakdown of how Port Washington and Saukville voted in that and other statewide races.
Challenger Joe Voiland will take over for Judge Tom Wolfgram in Ozaukee County Circuit Court, grabbing 62 percent of the county's vote in Tuesday's election — but his support in Port Washington wasn't as high. Wolfgram grabbed 46 percent of Port Washington votes, losing to the challenger 1,073-930 there. In Saukville, voters followed county trends, giving Voiland 398 votes versus Wolfgram's 246, taking 62 percent of the vote. Wolfgram has held the position in Branch 2 since 1994, but knowledge that Wolfgram signed the petiton to recall Gov. Scott Walker sparked controversy, according to a JSOnline.com article, and was apparently enough to scare away voters. Voiland has consistently pointed to Wolfgram's support of the recall as a reason to…

Ozaukee County Circuit Court Judge Tom Wolfgram has held the position since 1994, but his signing of the petition to recall Gov. Scott Walker has lead to a heated race — and the newcomer Joe Voiland is apparently taking over.
It appears challenger Joe Voiland will take over for Judge Tom Wolfgram in Ozaukee County Circuit Court, grabbing 62 percent of the vote in Tuesday's election. As of 10:26 p.m. Tuesday, Voiland led with 12,386 votes over Wolfgram's 7,435; all votes had been counted but results are still considered unofficial. Wolfgram has held the position in Branch 2 since 1994, but knowledge that Wolfgram signed the petiton to recall Gov. Scott Walker sparked controversy, according to a JSOnline.com article, and was apparently enough to scare away voters. Voiland has consistently pointed to Wolfgram's support of the recall as a reason to oust the judge, which Wolfgram has called a move to insert partisan politics into a nonpartisan race, according to an …

Nestle is recalling NESQUIK Chocolate Powder from store shelves for potential Salmonella contamination.
Information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: Nestlé USA has announced the voluntary recall of limited quantities of Nestlé NESQUIK® Chocolate Powder in the 10.9, 21.8 and 40.7 ounce canisters. The voluntary recall is limited to only NESQUIK Chocolate Powder, which was distributed nationally.

Calcium carbonate is used in NESQUIK as an ingredient. There have been no reports of …

If write-in voters had their way in Ozaukee County, former Sen. Russ Feingold would have been elected to both seats up for election in the historic recall just three weeks ago; also on the list were Ryan Braun, Aaron Rodgers and Scooby Doo.
If write-in voters had their way in Ozaukee County, Russ Feingold would be sitting in the seat where Gov. Scott Walker remains after a historic recall election just three weeks ago. Though he didn't fare a whole lot better than Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ryan Braun. Feingold, a former Wisconsin Senator , received two of the 12 write-in votes in Ozaukee County for the governor's spot in the recall election that pitted Walker against Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett. Voters were more creative in the lieutenant governor's race: while only 12 names were suggested for the governor's spot, an additional 76 write-ins were listed in the county for lieutenant governor. The person garnering the most votes for lieutenant governor throughout Ozaukee County was …

Governor spoke at Steelwind Industries Wednesday morning and discussed how the state will move forward following a tumultuous recall election.
Just hours removed from a historic win in Tuesday night's recall election, Gov. Scott Walker visited Oak Creek for his first post-recall public appearance, calling for unity so the state could focus on creating more jobs in a still-struggling economy. "Jobs aren't Republican jobs, they're not Democratic jobs, they're just Wisconsin jobs," Walker told an audience of about 100 at Steelwinds Industries, 7550 S. 10th St. "Today is the first day of a takeoff in terms of jobs and growth and prosperity in Wisconsin." He said most employers already felt the state was heading in the right direction. However, businesses had been leery of coming to the state or expanding here in the face of the recall, Walker said. With June 5 now in the rear-view …
Though Tuesday's historic recall election drew a voter turnout percentage in the high-70s or above in the Port Washington area, voters seemed to remain loyal to the same candidates they were in 2010.
A historic recall election on Tuesday ending with the re-election of Gov. Scott Walker gave truth to the old saying that history repeats itself in Port Washington and Saukville. Walker, a Republican from Wauwatosa, became the first governor in United States history to win a recall election Tuesday with 53 percent of the vote. Local voters' allegiances in the recall were almost identical to the 2010 gubernatorial election between the same two men. In the city of Port Washington, Walker won on Tuesday with 63 percent of the vote to Barrett's 37 percent; the city recorded the same percentages in 2010, the only difference being that Tuesday's election had a higher turnout — about 500 additional voters. In the village of Saukville, Walker won …

Incumbent Republican governor takes in nearly $15,000 in campaign contributions from residents in Port Washington and Saukville, while his Democratic opponent nets about $2,400.
Whether Gov. Scott Walker or Democrat Tom Barrett will win the gubernatorial recall election — or carry Port Washington and Saukville for that matter — won't be known for sure until all the ballots are counted Tuesday night. What is known, however, is that when it comes to campaign contributions, the incumbent Republican governor has outraised the Milwaukee mayor by a more than 6-to-1 margin in the two communities. A Patch analysis of campaign finance reports filed last week with the state Government Accountability Board shows that Walker has raised $10,394 in Port and $4,560 in Saukville — a total of $14,954. By comparison, Barrett took in $2,079 from Port Washington and $364 from Saukville — a total of $2,443 — since he launched his …

Absentee ballots are keeping the clerk's office busy in Port Washington and Saukville, with submitted ballots already more than double what was received in Port during the primary in May.
Perhaps eager to vote once and for all in the June 5 gubernatorial recall election, or simply too busy with summer and not wanting to forget to vote, Port Washington and Saukville residents have been casting absentee ballots at a higher rate than usual. Port Washington Deputy Clerk Susan Westerbeke said the city has mailed about 470 absentee ballots in the recall election so far. Most of those have already been returned, she said, with the majority of the ballots being cast in person at Port Washington City Hall — rather than being sent back via mail. A total of 203 absentee voters cast ballots in the recall primary. In Saukville, Village Official Mary Baumann said 148 absentee ballots were requested, and 42 of those have not yet been …
