In the secretary of state race, longtime incumbent Doug La Follette (D) is being challenged by state Rep. Amy Loudenbeck (R). Loudenbeck favors transferring election power to the secretary of state office — it now resides in a bipartisan commission. The Democratic incumbent attorney general, Josh Kaul, is also up for reelection and is running against Republican challenger Eric Toney, the district attorney for Fond du Lac County.

The Post estimated the lean of 2022 congressional districts using 2020 presidential results by precinct from Decision Desk HQ and estimates where actual votes at the precinct level were unavailable. Districts classified as “Strong Biden” and “Strong Trump” show where a candidate is estimated to have won by 15 percentage points or more. “Lean Biden” and “Lean Trump” districts had estimated vote margins between five and 15 points. “Close” districts show an estimated margin within five points.

The Washington Post doesn’t call races on its own. It relies heavily on two nonpartisan organizations with long track records of examining raw vote totals and calling elections: the Associated Press and Edison Research.
