However, the election was seen as a shock to Democrats, who lost in Racine, Sheboygan and Vilas counties (which were seen as generally blue areas) and were expecting a wider margin of victory. Nelson's 50,000-vote majority in Milwaukee County was credited as a key reason that the statewide result was not even closer.
