People have been leaving Baldwin’s watch party. Some voters say it’s because they expect the race to take a long time to be called, so they would rather go home and call it a night.

Young voters are making up the majority of Baldwin’s party goers so far. More people are sitting in the theater seats behind this photo.

@wmtv15news Kasenia Mazurek from West Bend and her sister aren’t old enough to vote yet, but the two have been dancing non-stop to the DJ music ahead of the rally. Kasenia tells me she supports Harris because she is intelligent and kind. She is also a big fan of Governor Walz. @wmtv15news

@wmtv15news For Colleen Robson from Lodi, the most important issue is supporting public education. She says she has met Walz before in the education sphere and is excited to see a teacher on the ticket. @wmtv15news

BREAKING: We confirmed with a UW plant expert this is cannabis in a flower bed outside the Wisconsin State Capitol. The expert does not know if it is hemp or the drug type. Testing would have to happen to determine that.

Giles sat forward straight faced when verdict was read.

[Elizabeth Wadas TV @ElizabethWadas]

Closing arguments begin in a few minutes in the case of Marshawn Giles, the man already found guilty of killing a 20 month old baby girl and assaulting her mother. Phase two of the trial is for the jury to decide if Giles did the crime under mental defect, the insanity plea.

[Elizabeth Wadas TV @ElizabethWadas]

Verdict: 12 jurors vote NO. Giles did not have a mental defect at the time of the crime. It’s unanimous. He is guilty and not insane.

That means he faces life in prison.

[Elizabeth Wadas TV @ElizabethWadas]

The defendant, Marshawn Giles, was just brought in.
