Johnson almost lose

Johnson outperformed Michels by something like 70k votes.

I've been looking over the historical numbers. The dynamics in Wisconsin were that Madison area had high turnout for an off year (almost certainly abortion effect) but that it still wasn't enough to outvote the rest of the state being red. But in the Governor race, it was that Michels simply ran behind Johnson in about every county. A few hundred here, a few hundred there, and it adds up.
