Poll here close at 8 p.m., but swing states end voting as early as 6 p.m. local time.
Wisconsin voters have until 8 p.m. to cast their Election 2012 ballots, but voting in other key swing states ends as much as three hours before then, and exit polling could provide an early indication of whether President Obama or Mitt Romney wins the White House. The earliest key state to watch for is Virginia, where polls close at 6 p.m. Wisconsin time. Voting ends 30 minutes later in swing states Ohio and North Carolina. At 7 p.m. swing states Florida, Pennslvania and New Hampshire close their polls. The final two swing states, Nevada and Iowa, close at 9 p.m. CST.
What you'll need to know before you head to the polls and a look at the candidates for public office and issues that will affect Shorewood, Milwaukee County and Wisconsin.
COUNTY: STATE: FEDERAL: LIVE 2012 ELECTION RESULTS Presidential and U.S. Senate results only represent votes in Shorewood. Congressional and state legislative results are for entire district. LAST UPDATE: 10:42 p.m. Obama-Biden 6:34 p.m. Tuesday: The small Democrat office across from St. Mary’s Hospital on Maryland Ave. near Shorewood held roughly 20 volunteers with three hours to go before the polls closed on Tuesday night. However, within 15 minutes of my arrival, only five volunteers remained after the office had cleared out. Where did they all go? “We’re in a total last minute effort to get to people at their houses, to encourage them to leave their houses and go to their polling places,” said Jim Gramling, a volunteer who has been…

The candidates agreed to square off once in Wausau and twice in Milwaukee over the next six weeks.
Tommy Thompson and Tammy Baldwin have agreed to three televised debates prior to the Nov. 6 general election for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Herb Kohl. Two debates will be in Milwaukee and one in Wausau: "We need a new direction for our country, a direction that leaves our country in better shape for our children and grandchildren," said Thompson, the former governor and GOP nominee, in a press release Monday. "Voters deserve to hear my opponent defend the record $16 trillion in debt driven by out-of-control government spending." Baldwin, a U.S. Representative, aims to keep the seat for the Democrats as the GOP tries to gain control of the Senate with an eye on repealing the Affordable Health Care Act. She agreed to three debates…

Previous polls suggest former governor Tommy Thompson is in the lead, but the key Tea Party endorsement went to Mark Neumann and businessman Eric Hovde is liked by Patch's GOP insiders.
In 1988, the Bradley Center opened, a sparkling new venue for the basketball team owned by Herb Kohl, who celebrated that year by taking office as a U.S. Senator. The arena and Kohl’s service followed parallel paths; both are up for replacement. The Democrat announced that he would not seek a fifth term, sparking a furious effort by member of the GOP to earn the nomination in a general election. Tuesday’s primary election will select that nominee from among Tommy Thompson, Mark Neumann, Eric Hovde and Jeff Fitzgerald. And unlike many primaries, it’s tough to say today who will come out on top. Thompson, the former governor, topped the latest Marquette University poll but plenty of voters continued to call themselves undecided. Our own …
