FOX6 News at 5 | Nov. 3, 2026

With stories that matter to you, Fox 6 News at 5 starts right now with breaking news. And we're going to begin with the breaking news with this. It's election day. That's not really breaking news. Milwaukee Public Schools is a victim of fraud and the value of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Let's get right out to Derontae Matthews in the Fox 6 Newsroom. Derontae, tell us more. Yeah, Mary and Ted, NPS says it just found out yesterday that an outside party committed bank impersonation fraud. The district says it initially lost $450,000. Superintendent Brenda Casella says once they found out, they immediately contacted their IT team, bank, and police. Now, this includes state and federal authorities, as well as the Office of Accountability and Efficiency. She says they were able to work with U.S. Bank to recover $255,000. Right now, they're still trying to get back the. the other 195,000. Casella says just how this happened is still under investigation, but they are trying to track the perps. NPS says it's also conducting its own internal investigation and implementing, quote, both short-term and long-term controls to protect the district. Casella says the district wanted to be transparent about this entire process. I want to be able to, you know, if we make a mistake, we own the mistake, we move on And learn from it and put in. A place stronger controls, but I also wanted to make sure that my district partners were on alert. I wanted to make sure the public and governmental agencies were on alert that this, you know, this entity is out there. She also says by getting this information out so quickly, again, they just found out yesterday, hopefully this prevents other districts from going through the same thing. Casella says they'll continue to keep the public informed throughout this entire process. For now, in the newsroom, Derontae Matthews, Fox 6 News. All right, Derontae, thank you. We have more breaking news out of Milwaukee and new video. of a man being rescued from a burning car. It happened just before 10 this morning. This is the scene where it happened, 6th and Chambers. Wait till you see the video, though. Police say a driver was driving on Chambers when he lost control and hit a legally parked car. Both vehicles then caught fire. Video shows people rushing to get the man out of the car. That driver is 63 years old. He's in the hospital. Police are working to determine what led to the crash. No one else was hurt. The 2026 midterm elections are here. Polls are open for another three hours with you deciding several important races. The biggest race is for governor, and that's where Democrat David Crawley and Republican Tom Tiffany are squaring off. Our Ben Hanson standing by live in Mount Pleasant. But we're going to begin tonight with our political reporter, Jason Calvi. Jason, this is a huge night in Wisconsin politics. The balance of power, not just at the governor's mansion, but at the statehouse as well. Yeah, that's right, Ted. Control of the state really on the line. The party's offering competing visions for the future direction of the state of Wisconsin. Now, they disagree on controversies like guns, abortion, and marijuana. They disagree on how to spend your tax money. Republicans have controlled the Wisconsin legislature since 2011. Here's the current breakdown in the Wisconsin State Senate. Democrats need to flip tonight just two GOP seats to take control. Half of the chamber's 33 seats are on the ballot tonight. And Republicans are on defense as some of the GOP-held seats are actually districts that voted for Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024. Senate District 21 is held by Republican Senator Van Wanggaard. Here's the two trying to win the seat tonight. This district voted for Harris by just more than one point. It includes Racine, Raymond, and Franklin. Senate District 5 is also open, also held by a retiring Republican. Also, a district Vice President Harris won. It includes Pewaukee, Brookfield, Elm Grove, Wauwatosa, and West Allis. Republicans right now have a larger majority in the Wisconsin Assembly. There you can see the current breakdown in that chamber. Just a few years ago, Republicans had a lot more seats. They were two seats shy of a supermajority in the Assembly. And indeed, they had a supermajority in the state Senate. But then the Wisconsin Supreme Court flipped liberal. And that court struck down the GOP-favoring maps. Republicans then agreed to a map initially proposed by Governor Tony Evers that really cut into the GOP numbers. If you go back and look before the new maps, there would be cycles where there were maybe two battleground seats in the whole state, only like two that you were curious what might happen on election night. Now the map's pretty big. You know, there's, there's... Nine that I'm really interested in the assembly, but there's even more that'll be worth checking to make sure nothing crazy happened in. So yeah, it's a competitive map in regions all around the state. So that Marquette researcher, John Johnson, has really crunched the numbers, and he finds that Vice President Kamala Harris won the majority of state Senate districts, but at the same time, listen to this, Battleground, Wisconsin, he finds that President Donald Trump won the majority of the Assembly seats. So Ted and Mary, swing state Wisconsin keeps on swinging. Want to look at the bigger picture of the state? Usually congressional races have been a bit of a yawner. We've got two races that could be very interesting tonight. One that wasn't really being considered much at the beginning of this year, the 1st Congressional District in our area, southeastern Wisconsin, we're seeing Kenosha all the way over to Walworth County. That one right now is being considered the most competitive House seat in the entire country by Nate Silver from the Silver Bullet. So big, big, big changes in dynamics of politics in Wisconsin, seeing that that first congressional district held formerly, as you know, by Speaker Paul Ryan, Republicans have held that seat since 1995. It is a big deal that that's now in play tonight. In the big picture, from everything that you're saying, if we kind of zoom out, you're saying if the Democrats want to win back the Senate majority, they almost need a perfect night. Well, the numbers are looking good for them at the state Senate because the seats that Republicans have held, are holding right now, a lot of them are seats that Vice President Kamala Harris, in fact, won. So the Republican-held seats, but they voted for a Democrat for president in 2024. That shows the changing of these new maps under the new Supreme Court that struck down the Republican-held maps. There was some negotiations and compromise, and those maps have really taken away the majority, the large, almost supermajority from Republicans. Yeah, there's a micro and a macro picture of all this, and we're going to be watching all of it. All right, Jason, thank you. Well, thank you, Jason. The race for governor is just one of the many races of close we're following closely. Yeah, others include the race for attorney general. This is a rematch between Josh Call and Eric Toney back in 2022. Call won this race by just over a percentage point. And some key congressional races are underway as well in Wisconsin's 1st District, which Jason was just talking about. Republican Brian Stille is running for re-election against Democrat Mitchell Berman. And in the western part of the state district, 3 incumbent Republican Derek Van Orden is facing Democrat Rebecca Cook once again. Well, listen up if you are looking for a reason to get out and vote. Multiple elections in cities throughout southeastern Wisconsin were decided by an entirely slim margin back in the 2022 gubernatorial race. One of those, Mount Pleasant, was decided by just 80 votes. Racine County reporter Ben Hanson out at the village of Mount Pleasant board building talking to voters about what brought them out to vote today. Ben. Yeah guys, Mount Pleasant has shown that every single vote matters. Those 80 votes gave Tim Michaels the win here four years ago and tonight just as many votes could decide the results. There were a lot of people coming through this Mount Pleasant Village board building to vote today. I saw 80 or so people come through here in almost an hour, so it goes to show how much of a difference each individual vote can make here. Yesterday, I was talking with a research fellow from Marquette University's law school who emphasized a party loyalty between federal and state voting. In 2024, President Donald Trump won Racine County over Kamala Harris by six percentage points. This could give us some insight into tonight's results. The number one thing that I think affects if people are voting for David Crowley or Tom Tiffany is what they think about Donald Trump. Donald Trump tells people vote like I'm on the ballot. And I think that that is indeed what a lot of people will be doing in this election. And I was also talking with some voters earlier today, and a few of them mentioned how important it is to get out and vote, not only for races with national ramifications, but also for the smaller ones that are going to have a more direct impact on the people here in Mount Pleasant. The most important, I think, is the inflation, of course, because day-to-day life is more important than foreign wars or anything else. It affects us. It affects your daily life. It's kind of hard to tell because there are the hardcore Republicans and then there are the hardcore Democrats that it doesn't matter what you say or do, that's not going to change. It's the people that are quiet. And keep their vote to themselves, those are the ones that are going to change what they think. Yeah, and guys, there was a lot of people out here today earlier voting at this Mount Pleasant polling location, but now the parking lot's absolutely filled. There's a lot more people coming in here after work, so it just goes to show there are still a lot more votes to be cast. Live in Mount Pleasant, Ben Hanson, Fox 6 News. Yeah, and the after-dinner crowd, the after-work crowd, they'll be pouring in for the next, well, a little under three hours from now they close. All right, Ben, thanks so much. There were some issues with ballots this morning. Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Paulina Gutierrez addressed that question. Yeah, so here at Central Count, whenever there are complicated issues, our standard protocol is that first our workers go to the pod captain. If the pod captain can't answer, they go to a chief inspector. If a chief inspector can't answer, then the absentee board of canvassers... By state law, get together to make that decision. You'll see that I am part of the absentee board of canvassers along with two of our full-time election commission staff. When there is an issue or a mistake, we review it to determine, you know, what are the next steps. Like any election, multiple people are monitoring and watching, and our tabulators actually found the issue where one of our tables mistakenly didn't put the voter number on the ballot. We reviewed that, we asked our pod captain to do an audit, and we processed those ballots because they are legitimate ballots, those are eligible voters, it was a clerical error, and we have a way to track those ballots if we need to, so it's been handled. The Milwaukee Election Commission says as of 3 this afternoon, close to 60,000 absentee ballots have been returned. Slightly more than a third of those have been tabulated so far. Democratic candidate David Crowley voting this morning. He and his family voted at Milwaukee's German Immersion School. The county exec will be holding his campaign rally tonight in downtown Milwaukee. And meanwhile, Republican Tom Tiffany is spending his day in northern Wisconsin. He voted at the town hall in Little Rice, that's in Oneida County, just north of Tomahawk. Tiffany will hold his campaign rally in Wausau tonight. So if you still have to get out and vote, here's exactly what you need to know. You have until 8 o'clock to do it, and as long as you're in line by 8 o'clock, you will be allowed to stay in line and cast your ballot if there is indeed one. Make sure you have a photo ID with you. And if you haven't registered yet, you can do that at your polling place. It may slow things down a few minutes. Just bring a proof of residence, a utility bill ought to do the trick. Fox 6 has you covered for Election Day. Our voter guide is loaded with what you need to know from finding your polling place to seeing exactly what's on your ballot and how to watch live results and analysis once the polls do close. Just head to Fox6Now.com or use your Fox local app. Here's a live look over the city of Milwaukee. If you voted early, you did so in dry weather. Not the same if you voted in the afternoon. Yeah. Chief meteorologist Tom walks in tonight. And Tom, at least it's a warm rain. But when will it let up? Right. Yeah. We have had about a quarter of an inch of rain in Milwaukee today. You guys, we hit 70 for a high before the steadier rains came in. And yeah, it's kind of the on and off variety. Let's take a look. Let me show you what's going Going out with the radar again. Kind of here and there, it's spotty, right? And it's not overly heavy, but this is going to continue throughout the nighttime hours tonight. Let me broaden the view out for you here so you can see that there is more rain down to the southwest of us. And it's going to continue on and off throughout the night. Again, shouldn't be a big deal. It's going to stay light. Temperatures are going to hold in the 60s all night long here as we have temperatures very much on the mild side. So 60s tonight with on and off light rain showers. I'll have more on what to expect for the rest of the week. week in a few minutes. Back over to you. All right, Tom, thanks. We are getting new reaction after a police shooting on the freeway last night. A Milwaukee police sergeant shot and killed a wrong-way driver. MPD says it happened late last night, right around Highway 175. That is north of the stadium interchange. Chief Jeffrey Norman says the sergeant saw a truck make a U-turn and start driving south in the northbound lanes. The sergeant tried to make contact with the driver, but police said the driver showed a gun and the sergeant fired his gun. The driver died at the scene. The medical examiner identifying the driver is 50-year-old Joseph Harry. Fox 6 spoke with a neighbor today who described exactly what he heard. All I heard was, you know, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang in quick succession. And then What was really weird was about 10 seconds after that, there was one really loud bang and some people said they saw a flash. So I don't know if there was like a flash grenade or a flash bang or something like that, but we thought it was a firework at first, but it was also very close. MPD says the sergeant was on duty, but did not have a body camera. The department says only patrol officers are equipped with them. Well, of course, when you travel, you need a suitcase. Yeah, if you're going away for a bit. But oftentimes, they end up carrying more than just your clothes. What you should do to avoid bacteria, mold, and more. I just vote. It's a God-given right and the freedoms we have in this country. And I believe that it matters. On this election day, we're hearing from voters about the issues that are bringing them out to the polls. And Election Day brings changes to the primetime lineup. Tomorrow's episodes of Best Medicine and Doc will now air Wednesday. You can watch it right after the Fox 6 News. And just a reminder, the Green Bay Packers are back on Fox 6. They take on the New England Patriots Sunday at 325. The Lions and Dolphins play at noon. Be sure to stick around for the Fox 6 Sports Blitz Sunday night at 1030. Fox 6 News continues with Ted Perry and Harry Stoker-Smith. So we're going to look at some health news tonight. Your suitcase, yeah, your suitcase may be carrying more than just clothes. Experts now warning against opening your suitcase on your bed. They say the wheels can hold bacteria, viruses, mold, and worse by picking up germs from high-traffic surfaces like airport bathrooms. And bed bugs can even crawl into your suitcase and come home with you. One germ expert says, well, it isn't risky behavior, it is, quote, icky. Experts recommend wiping down your suitcase after every trip and then using a luggage rack when unpacking. I just take the can of Lysol, saturate it. I do. Everything there. Yeah. Exercise has a lot of health benefits, including helping older transplant patients. A new study from Northwestern University finds that older transplant patients who work on their fitness while waiting for surgery may actually lower their risk of death. 1,300 adult patients were evaluated between 2018 and 2022 while waiting for a new liver. Out of those, 355 enrolled in the fitness program, which included exercise for grip strength, chair stands and balance. The researchers found that 64% of patients in the program improved their scores by nearly half a point and decreased risk of dying before surgery by as much as 50%. So get out there and get moving. Hey, quick update. We're going to have the Cowboys and the Colts before the Packers game. I was wrong on what I told you before. My apologies. That's okay. All eyes on the Packers anyway. This is feeling a lot more like football weather. Oh, isn't it? You talk about a gloomy day today, guys. The rain, at least it was warm, right? Get this. We hit 70. For a high, just four degrees shy of our record high for this date, which was back in 1964. So we were close to a record high today. We're not far from the 70s right now. We're still in the 60s. Here's a look at the radar. I know this rain has been off and on. So we had the light rain showers picking up throughout the afternoon. We've had just under a quarter of an inch at the airport so far. And again, it's going to kind of come and go throughout the night. So it's not going to be a steady rain, but it's going to be that on and off variety. You see it coming in from the south, so there's more rain that's going to be coming in through the overnight. There's the center of low pressure now moving north into Iowa, not much in the way of rumbles out of this. So we're not getting much in the way of thunderstorms, but we will see more rain showers throughout the night. Here is a live look straight to the south, right into downtown Milwaukee with the cloud cover in place. Hey, at least it's warm, right? I know it's getting dark so early now with the sunset. Before 4:45, here we are at 65 degrees. Look at the dew point. 63, yeah, it's come up. It's warm. It's humid, certainly for November. Very rare to see, number one, 70s, and number two, dew points in the 60s this late in the season. Wind out of the south, air pressure that's on the lower side tonight. 29.80 inches of mercury. So we're in the 60s area-wide, and I don't anticipate temperatures to move a whole lot all night. I think we're going to be in the 60s all night. This is the main storm system of note. Across the country right now, and you can see the Gulf moisture streaming north. That's why our dew points are in the 60s right now. Once we get in on the backside of this system, we start to cool down. That will start tomorrow afternoon and, oh, wait until Friday. I'll have that for you here in a minute. Let's get into Sky Vision Plus. Let's talk about this here because this front comes through tomorrow morning and then will gradually dry things out by the afternoon. So tonight, on and off rain showers in the forecast. It's not going to be anything heavy, but kind of like we've had this afternoon, right? Where it's light, gets a little moderate, and then it goes away for a while, kind of comes back. That's what we're going to see throughout the overnight as well. Then we get into the morning hours tomorrow. Still some scattered rain showers. Winds pick up out of the south. 60s in the morning. By the afternoon, once that front crosses, just some drizzle during the afternoon, temperatures dropping into the 50s later on in the day. Then we go into Thursday, and this is where the cooler air starts to come in, and you're going to notice some rain showers pushing in by about midday. Again, light, but a cooler day coming in Thursday and cooler yet on Friday. In terms of additional rain, maybe up to another quarter of an inch. So it could be in total here up to about a half an inch. So, again, it's not a lot of rain, given the fact that we have, you know, several days effectively of rain in the forecast. But we talked last night how, you know, if you look at an app and it just says rain, you might think, oh, it's just going to be heavy rain all day. Not the case with this system. So, again, temperatures holding steady tonight. Let's put it all together for you. November is going to make a comeback because we have temperatures in the 60s tomorrow, 50s on Thursday, and then we are back to the 40s for highs on Friday, Election Day, by the way. Of course, that's today. And then we're back in the 50s by the weekend. And, guys, the big question, when does the sun return? And the answer for that is it starts on Friday. So we just got to wait until the end of the week. That's the latest from here. Back over to you. Sun and the weekend begins on the same day. All right, Tom, thanks. As it gets colder outside, and it's getting colder outside, Fox 6 is determined to keep kids warm. We kicked off the 42nd annual Fox 6 Coats for Kids drive, and we need your help. You can drop off new or gently loved winter coats at Steinhafel's Landmark Credit Union or the Salvation Army through December 6th. Or just go ahead and scan that QR code on your screen, and you can safely donate money that'll buy brand new coats for the campaign. For more information about Coats for Kids, just go to our website, fox6now.com. Law and order, we think, is very important. As we go to break, voters continue to share their thoughts on this election day. We wanted to know what got you to the polls, and you just heard from that gentleman. Keep it right here as our coverage on this historic election day continues. We were telling you this before. This is the breaking news out of Milwaukee today. Look at this video of a man being rescued from a burning car. By bystanders here, this is this morning near 6th and Chambers on the north side. Police say a driver was on Chambers when they lost control, hit a parked car. Both vehicles caught fire. The driver inside with this big dragged out right here, that's a 63-year-old man. He's in the hospital tonight. Police are working to determine what led up to the crash. No one else was hurt, but a number of good Samaritans getting in there to pull him to safety. Incredible. Just remarkable. One of those, what would I do moments, you ask yourself. Well, when you lose a bet, you've got to pay up. And that is exactly what Tampa's Florida Natural is doing. After losing a bet with Johnsonville for the World Series, here's the deal. Multiple pallets of Florida Natural orange juice went to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin at their warehouse today. A portion went to the Brewers fans at the parade last Friday. The bet was Florida Natural would send enough orange juice to cover... 200,000 celebratory mimosas to Milwaukee. Here was the other thing. If the Brewers didn't lose, Johnsonville would have to send 415,000 brats to Florida. I would love to tell you there was a tight plan from the beginning, but there was not. We kind of hatched this on the Friday of game one. As we thought about it from our end, if we lost, we said we'll probably go down there and grill several thousand brats and then make a nice donation to Feeding America in the Tampa-St. Pete area. And Florida's Natural immediately said, yeah, that makes a lot of sense to us, too. So let's do it that way. Beauty America says the orange juice they received will go to just about 600 partners in 35 counties in the eastern part of the state. Now, if you're wondering how much is 200,000 mimosas, just think brunch with Sal Freelick. That works out to be about that much. There you go. I like that. Okay, you have got about, speaking of numbers, two and a half hours left to cast your ballot. Yeah. Brett Lemoine, what are things like in Waukesha County? Well, the line is out the door here behind me. And, of course, Waukesha County voters have big issues on the ballot today. But what's really motivating them to head to the polls? A live report is coming up next. A man is accusing Milwaukee police of excessive force during his arrest appeared in court today. 24-year-old Nicholas Beeman is charged with carrying a concealed weapon. Milwaukee police say that Beeman was combative and began pulling away from officers while armed and also resisted after being handcuffed during a traffic stop for a missing license plate. The judge set his signature bond at $1,000. He is due back in court on December 1st. A candidate for Wisconsin's 6th Congressional District spent part of Election Day in court. Matthew Arndt is charged with one count of disorderly conduct after a road rage incident. Police arrested the Green Party candidate last month after an incident at a Mequon gas station. The other driver telling Fox 6 he thinks a bumper sticker featuring an Israeli flag set him off. In court today, a signature bond was set at $250. Arndt is due back in court next month. Waukesha County voters have a multi-million dollar decision to make. In fact, a few of them about schools, public safety and more. Waukesha County reporter Brett Lemoine live to break down some of the biggest issues on the ballot there. Hey, Brett. Hey, good evening, Ted and Mary. We've heard from election workers at three different municipalities today that turnout has been incredibly strong, and for evidence of that, look no further than here at the Waukesha County Expo Center, the line stretching well beyond the building itself. And Ted and Mary, I know that you've both been to the Waukesha County Expo Center before. It is a large venue, so seeing a line like this is quite telling. In other election News, though, we're keeping an eye on two big referendums tonight. Muskego has a $5.9 million referendum on the ballot to fund additional police officers and transition the city to a full-time fire department. Test Corners is currently operating as a volunteer agency there. The city says if the referendum passes, money would be used to fund 16 full-time positions and 36 part-time firefighter and EMS positions. Meanwhile, voters in the Elmbrook School District have a big decision to make. On the ballot there is a $100 million school facility referendum. The district says the money would be used to renovate four schools. If approved, the district says taxes would increase by about $55 a year for owners of a $500,000 home. It's all about the money, and I think when it comes to education, whatever could be done should be done. If it takes more money, so be it. I think a lot of people are for it. We need the young kids to be educated. Now we asked voters what issues were motivating them to head to the polls today and no one mentioned anything about what was actually on the ballot. Universally everyone said big picture issues like immigration and democracy really fueled the push to get out to the polls today. Poll workers here at this particular location at the Waukesha County Expo Center told me they've had about 2,000 in-person ballots cast today and that was just as of about an hour ago. That does not include any of the absentee ballots that are being processed as we speak. But again, just looking at that huge line here behind me is very telling that there is a lot of people here in the city of Waukesha that wanted to head to the polls today. Reporting live in Waukesha, Brett Lemoine, Fox 6 News. Brett, it sounds like there's a lot of positive momentum for The school referendum, a lot of people saying, okay, yeah, they need some money to make the improvements. Are you hearing that across the board? Pretty much, Mary, and we also can cite the school district's own data as well. They did a survey and said that they found about 67 percent of voters in the Elmbrook school district approved of at least putting this measure on the ballot. So they think that is a pretty good indication that it will move forward. All right. Brett Lemoyne reporting live there in Waukesha County. Thank you, Brett. Well, on this election day, we're bringing in experts to explain how this election could affect you. UW-Milwaukee Professor Emeritus Mordecai Lee is here. I have a lot of questions. Some I think I'm going to wait until the polls close, I think, in fairness to the people who haven't voted yet. You're already looking at numbers, trends. What are you doing in these last few hours of open polls? What numbers are you crunching over there? I think the magic number we should think of is how many people voted in the midterms four years ago. It was about 2.7 million voters. Out of about 3.5 registered voters and 4.5 eligible voters. And that turned out to be a 57% turnout. 57% is above average for America. For Wisconsin, it's so-so. So tonight, what I'm going to be looking at, are we busting past 57%? Are we busting past 2.7 million? Or are we down? A lot of money went into the campaigns here. I mean, by some accounts, a record number. We saw the TV ads. You couldn't get away from them on your phone, even if you blocked it. Do you think that will motivate people to get out with those ads on the phone and on TV? The impression I get from people is that they're sick of it. But that they're ignoring it. In other words, somebody usually votes Republican. They don't like getting all these texts, seeing all these ads, but they'll still vote Republican. And same for the Democrats. So I think for all the hype, this might end up being just an average kind of evening. And if so, that means it's not a blue wave. This will be won by independents and which way they go. That's just the numbers. There's been a little bit of distraction the last few weeks. The Milwaukee Brewers have really taken the headlines. Has that made it harder for the candidates to get their message across to those independents? Because a lot of people are saying, I'm watching a game. I don't want to watch this right now. According to the last Marquette poll, there were about 8% of people who were undecided. That's not a lot. And that they were breaking. In other words, from the second to last poll to the last poll, about 20% of the undecideds decided who to vote for. And they didn't change any numbers. In other words, it was Crowley a little 48, 49, and it was Tiffany around 44, 45. So the undecideds in the last two weeks between the polls changed nothing. We saw Carly and Tiffany saturating the area, Wisconsin. What did they have to do in these last couple days to get those undecideds to the poll to check their box today? I think they were doing what every good politician should do, is they were running towards the middle. In other words, I might be a conservative Republican, but I care about average people and how they're affected in their daily lives. Or, I might be a lefty kind of politician, but, and then fill in the blanks. In other words... People will vote their pocketbook. They won't necessarily vote out of, I'm mad at Trump, and in that case, I'm going to vote for so-and-so. Or, I love Trump, and in that case, I'm going to vote for so-and-so. On that note, the president has said to his crowds at his rallies, act like I'm on the ballot. That could be a case of be careful what you wish for. That could go both ways. It could go both ways. I'm skeptical that it'll work. In other words, if we're talking about a slice of the pie of blue-collar, pink-collar high school graduates, Probably living in sort of exurban Wisconsin or northern Wisconsin. They voted three times for him. They came out of the woodwork. They changed Wisconsin politics because of that. But I'm not sure that anything is going to get them to vote in the midterm. Any surprises tonight, in your opinion? I think the governor's race is going to be very close. Almost like the presidential race in 2020. Is that right? Real quickly, what congressional races interest you in the state of Wisconsin? Well, everybody's looking at Racine Kenosha and La Crosse. I think the La Crosse is more of the 50-50 race than the Racine Kenosha. Gotcha. Meaning the Democrat could win there. There's a Republican incumbent there. Right. You think that'll be closer than... Absolutely. Okay. All right. We'll find out. You're not going anywhere, right? Oh, God. I'm glad. We signed a late-night contract with you, so stick around. Fox 6 has you covered on Election Day. Our voter guide is loaded with what you need to know if you're watching us and saying, you know what, I'd like to go out and vote. Well, we can tell you how to find your polling place. You can see what's on your ballot if you want to do a little homework. Plus, how to watch live results and analysis once the polls close. We've got a whole bunch of people coming in tonight. Just head to fox6now.com or the Fox Local app. Well, we just talked about the Brewers. Of course, the World Series champions could be in line for even more hardware this offseason. But first, the Brewers' celebrations have continued. And last night, a pair of Gold Glovers making an appearance at Pfizer Forum. Lily Zhao has that story next on Fox 6 Sports. You're watching Fox 6 Sports with Lily Zhao. More awards could be pouring in for the Brewers. Bryce Turang is a finalist for the National League MVP Award. Jacob Misiorowski on the short list to win the NL Cy Young Award. Trevor McGill up for Reliever of the Year in the National League. And Pat Murphy is also up for his third straight National League Manager of the Year Award. Speaking of Pat Murphy, though, he appeared on MLB Network today and announced he will be finally getting surgery on that hip on Monday. He was supposed to have the surgery over the All-Star break, but postponed it until after the season. And this follows the back surgery he had back in June. So now the skipper will have plenty of time to recover. And what is sleep? The Brewers kept the party rolling. The two gold glovers made their way to Fiserv Forum last night to watch Marquette tip off their season. Here's Jackson Chourio and Bryce Turang, a couple of members, fresh off an appearance also at SNL at the Golden Eagles game last night. The two were introduced to the crowd, and after the game, they also took some shots on the court. It's always entertaining watching two masters on the diamond try their hand at basketball, and Jackson Chourio was pretty good at it. And speaking of the Marquette men, they tipped off their season last night by having a 35-point win over Mercyhurst. Joshua Clark led all scorers with 18 points off the bench, and this is just the first stepping stone for the Marquette men to turn the page on last year's 12-win season. Meanwhile, the Packers are back after their mini-bye, and plenty of eyes will be on Josh Jacobs. Last Thursday, when he scored a touchdown, he celebrated with what he said was an ode to the gospel song, Break Every Chain, used that as a celebration. Others said that optically, with all his legal problems this offseason that included an arrest, there needed to be more self-awareness, and that included his head coach. And that's something that he and I talked about. And I know he had his explanation. And I wasn't even aware of what happened until I saw the tape. But we had a conversation about that. And I'm going to keep the conversation between him and I. And, you know, we're going to move forward. On Sunday, the Packers make a rare visit to the Patriots. You can see that game right here on your Packers station, 3:25 for the kickoff. And, of course, we'll be going right through the Fox 6 Sports Blitz at 10:30 Sunday night, so I hope you tune in all day on Sunday. We know Jackson Chourio is an amazing baseball player. How about the hoop skill? So one-handed and then the look. Yes. I mean, he knew it was coming in. And also, his dad, they love basketball in that family. So it's not surprising. It's amazing. Mmm. Always marvel at what he can do. We'll be right back on Fox 6 News at 5 on this election. We have more experts here in the studio to break down this big election day. Joining us now, our Milwaukee County Chair, Kewan Jennings, on the far left there. He represents the Democrats. And Milwaukee County Chair, Hilario DeLeon for the Republican Party. I'm excited to have you guys here at 548. I've always wondered, what are those last few hours like? What are Democrats doing now to get out the vote? And then you can follow up with what Republicans are doing. You know, we're doing the same thing we always do. Continuing to knock doors, make phone calls, send texts. It's emphasized, two to three votes per ward, make sure you're talking to friends and family, make a plan, referring them to myvote.wi.gov, getting the word out. So for us, we have people at our headquarters making sure that if the phone is ringing, people are asking for rides to the polls, that we have volunteers out there actually going and driving them to the polls. We are texting through our friends and families, making sure that everyone made a plan to vote today. Honestly, it has been the work leading up to this day is really what we put in with our ward captains out there throughout the county, about 116 of them that we had going out there, working and knocking on doors, targeting low prop voters and anyone else in between. So that's what it looks like today. It's stressful for both sides. You can say it's stressful, right? It's a stressful day. We're happy that we're here, but we'll see what the election results look like here shortly. Bipartisan emotions there, yeah, both stressful. Were there people, were there ways to get people motivated to go out? Because some people are just saying, you know what, it doesn't matter anyway. It's only one vote. You know, we've heard the excuses. But what did you guys do to kind of inspire the people to get out there, cast their vote? Yeah, I would say the life. Life right now is kind of tough. So a lot of people were motivated already. We just have to make sure that. Folks that want to get involved have an opportunity to lead them in the right way, lead them to the right point, whether that's phone banking, knowing how to canvass, where to go. A lot of people have reached out to us, I want to get involved. So the motivation is there, and we just got to make sure to capitalize on that, the energy. What's your final sales pitch? It's meeting people where they're at. It's the death by a thousand paper cut issues that matter to people, the pocketbook issues. People are struggling out here with utility rates, with property taxes being high, and really showing them what can we do differently under a different governor administration. And people have heard that, they believe it, and they showed up to the polls, and we're seeing what it looks like, higher turnout than what was expected. About a minute left. Your concerns going into the evening, is it weather? Is it turnout? Is it that it's darker now and people are like, I don't want to go out? What is your concern? And then follow up with Keith. Ultimately, I think just people not wanting to stay in line. If you're in line, stay in line, especially when it comes to eight o'clock, you have the right to be able to vote. That is a concern. Even if it's dark, even if it's cold, stay in line. You want to make sure that you get your ballot in. Yeah, I would say people staying home, not necessarily voting for the other side, Just thinking we've got it won and just complacent. You know, we just, we want to avoid folks thinking we got it in the bag, like some people are saying, then actually get out and make a plan. Run through the wire. Absolutely. All right. Well, you guys are sticking around through the night, right? We're here all night. Well, I'm here all night. I'm here for another couple hours. Okay, great. Yeah. So here's what viewers aren't going to see. This interview is about three and a half minutes. As soon as it's over, they're both grabbing their phones because I see them both in the hallway working their phones. Oh, I saw. This is the longest either one has gone all day, not on their phones. I look like Bernie Brewer waiting for a home run. So, yeah, I know you guys are. Jones, you have to grab your phone and make some calls. We're going to let you do that. We'll be with you guys all night. We appreciate you being here on a very busy election day. Thanks for having me. All right. Oh, let's give you a live look over the city. We talked about it being dark, and it certainly isn't by 5:52. And it's a soggy night. It's been a soggy day. And the good news is it's warm, Ted. Yeah. Tom Walk's joining us now. Tom. The last few hours, will weather be a big factor in the polls? I mean, like it has been. I mean, I wouldn't say it's a massive factor. We're not seeing, you know, those massive drenching rains or big thunderstorms or ice or snow, for that matter. You never know what November is going to bring, right? It is warm. It is a bit rainy, but it's the off and on variety. So that's what I mean, that I don't think it's going to be a major impact. But again, through 8 o'clock tonight, through polls closing, we are going to have more of the on and off variety of rain. Now, we've had about About a quarter of an inch so far in Milwaukee. So it hasn't been, again, major, but it has picked up this afternoon and it will continue on and off throughout the evening, into the overnight and into the morning hours tomorrow as well. This entire system, biggest one in the country right now, pushing through the upper Midwest center of low pressure. You see it spinning right there. The counterclockwise motion there to the southwest of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. So here is a live look over the city. Again, it is cloudy, rainy at times. But it is warm. We hit 70, 70 degrees for a high in Milwaukee today. Rare, right? For November. Four degrees shy of our record high. We're at 65 right now. The wind is out of the south. And look at this. The dew point is 63. So we've got that gulf moisture really coming up as well. Temperatures are going to hold in the 60s all night long tonight with the higher dew points and the on and off rain around. This frontal boundary comes through midday tomorrow. So let's get into Sky Vision Plus, show you more specifically what we're expecting. And again, it's really more of the same. On and off variety of rain, wind picks up at times out of the south, mild temperatures in the 60s all night. More light rain on the way on and off through the morning tomorrow. It becomes windy but drying out a bit in the afternoon, just some drizzle tomorrow afternoon. Additional rainfall, maybe another quarter of an inch, so maybe a half an inch in total out of this whole system. So it's not very heavy in the rain gauge for us. Let's look ahead here. 63 and windy tomorrow. Dropping into the 50s tomorrow afternoon. 54 on Thursday with a chance for light rain. Ooh, Friday, 47. Then we're down to freezing on Saturday morning. 50s throughout the weekend. Most importantly, the sun returns starting on Friday. That's the latest from here. We'll have more news for you coming up on the other side of the break. Stay with us. A new device to make sure that everybody does their part this Thanksgiving. Behold, the Butterball Buddy. Buddy. Here's how your buddy works. Someone must be in possession of a buddy, and periodically throughout the day, it's going to alert with a task like setting the table, cleaning up, doing the dishes. Once the chore is done, the buddy gets passed to a new guest. The idea came from surveys of Thanksgiving hosts who say, you know what, they'd like a little bit of help, but they feel bad asking.
