If you voted early in person, you're in good company. Racine City Clerk Tara McMenamin said early voting is "going well with an uptick in in-person absentee voting" at City Hall and satellite sites. As of Tue., Oct. 27, the clerk's office had 3,984 ballots back: 1,951 by mail and 2,033 from in-person absentee voters.

At about this time in 2022, the city had 3,804 ballots back: about 2,734 mailed and 1,070 in person. Statewide, mail-in absentee voting is still down while in-person early voting is up from 2022. McMenamin said the city is working with the city attorney's office and Racine Police Department to be ready for any disruptions on Election Day.

Case's defense did the heavy lifting. Indian Trail (8-3) had six first downs and minus-4 yards of total offense, and Case has yet to allow a point this postseason after a 63-0 opening win over Milwaukee Riverside/Golda Meir. London Hadley, a senior lineman who led the state in tackles for loss during the regular season, spearheaded the effort.

“We have to come out ready to go and we have to make sure that everybody's doing their job.”

The Wrap

Tim Wright builds putters one at a time in a glorified garage in Kenosha he calls "the lab," attaching the heads to hockey stick grips. His hockey stick putter has become the talk of the PGA Tour, and his website now gets 2,000 visits a day, up from 100. Quite the swing for a one-man show.
