How Hudson Voted in the November 2012 Election

State voters delivered a victory to President Barack Obama and Tammy Baldwin. Republican incumbents won in three other contested races, but how did each Hudson precinct vote?

HOW THE STATE VOTED 

By now it's no secret that President Barack Obama carried Wisconsin on his way to defeating former Gov. Mitt Romney to earn a second presidential term. Obama scored a 53 percent to 46 percent victory for Wisconsin's 10 electoral votes with 98 percent of the precincts reporting.

Joining Obama back in Washington will be U.S. Rep. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), who won a U.S. Senate race against former Gov. Tommy Thompson (R-WI). U.S. Rep. Sean Duffy won re-election in Wisconsin Seventh Congressional District over former State Sen. Pat Kreitlow.

Baldwin holds a 51 percent to 46 percent lead with 96 percent of precincts reporting, and Duffy has beaten Kreitlow 56 percent to 44 percent with all precincts counted.

Dean Knudson (R-Hudson) defeated Democratic challenger Diane Odeen by a 56 percent to 44 percent margin with all the precincts counted.
