Elections

An incumbent school board member on both the Arbor Vitae-Woodruff and Minocqua, Hazelhurst and Lake Tomahawk boards of education failed to file declaration of non-candidacy or nomination papers by the state's Jan. 2 deadline so both school districts decided to extend the deadline for accepting completed nomination papers until 5 p.m. Monday, Jan. 7. Tuesday, January 8, 2013 Wisconsin set a voter turnout record in the Fall 2012 General Election, according to official results certified today by the Government Accountability Board. President Barack Obama sprinted easily to re-election Tuesday, largely by holding his firewall in the Midwest and securing the majority of late-deciding voters over the last weekend of the campaign.
