Wisconsin GOP Candidate Hovde Questions Senate Race Results, Considers Recount

Eric Hovde, a Wisconsin Republican, acknowledged his defeat to Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin but questioned the election's legitimacy, considering a recount. Despite losing by less than a percentage point, Hovde cited "improbable" results and "inconsistencies," particularly in Milwaukee's late-night ballot reporting. Election officials and experts dismissed his claims, attributing the results to normal voting patterns and same-day registrations. Hovde also accused Democrats of manipulating third-party candidates to siphon votes. Under Wisconsin law, he can request a recount, but experts doubt it will change the outcome.

Tim Sheehy Wins Montana Senate Race, Boosting GOP Majority

Republican Tim Sheehy is projected to defeat incumbent Democratic Senator Jon Tester in Montana, contributing to a Republican Senate majority. Despite Montana's Republican leanings, Tester had previously won elections by maintaining a moderate stance. This election was challenging for Tester, as he shared the ballot with Donald Trump, who has strong support in the state. Democrats criticized Sheehy, a retired Navy SEAL, for his out-of-state status and questioned his military service claims. Meanwhile, Republicans linked Tester to President Biden's administration. A significant factor in the race was a ballot measure on abortion rights, which has been a contentious issue in Montana.
