Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary continues to be too close to call, with democratic socialist Francesca Hong and moderate Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley separated by only a few hundred votes after more than 90% of ballots have been counted, reports said on August 12.
The closely fought contest is being watched as an indicator of the strength of progressive politics in Wisconsin, a key battleground state. The winner will take on Republican nominee Tom Tiffany, a US representative, in the November general election.
