12:45 p.m.

Polls are quiet at Longacre Pavilion. Poll workers say it's been steady most of the morning, with only one line forming around 12:30 p.m.

1:10 p.m.

Reid Magney a spokesman for the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board, which oversees elections in the state, said there haven't been any major issues today, just a few small things.

"Some people at one polling place where they have multiple wards voting got the wrong ballots," Magney said. "They’re supposed to get the ballots for one ward, but got the ballots for the other ward."

And with the presidential preference primary, some voters are getting confused Magney said, and so their ballot is actually spit back out.

"We normally don’t have a presidential preference primary at the same time we have our spring election, so you’ve got a mix of republican and democratic election races at the same time you’ve got mayors, county board and judges who run no-partisan," Magney said. "The way the ballots are set up, you could only vote in one of the presidential primaries. You couldn’t vote for President Obama and one of the six republicans, for example. If you did, the machine will spit the ballot back out."

3:40 p.m.

A total of 709 ballots have been cast so far in Bayside.

3:58 p.m.

Paul Haubert of Bayside came to vote today at and discovered someone had already voted for him.

"This is the first time it's happened here," Haubert said. "It looks like an honest mistake, someone signed the wrong box, but when you show up to vote, you can't vote because someone already signed there."

Village officials are currently working with the Government Accountability Board to determine what the next step is.

4:56 p.m.

We just talked to Andy Pederson, village manager for Bayside, about the man who couldn't vote earlier since someone already signed his name. Pederson said he thinks the Voter ID bill would have kept instances like this from happening.

"You'd have a picture ID to match the face that was present at the polling location at the time the first person came in and at the time the second person came in," Pederson said. "So, I have full faith that our election workers and our staff would have identified the people. Now we're left to investigate the person who rightfully voted."

7:30 p.m.

Just in, 31 percent voter turn out in Bayside.

7:32 p.m.

I'm now at the Grain Exchange in downtown Milwaukee covering the election party for Mitt Romney. So far, we've seen Rep. Paul Ryan and Sen. Ron Johnson.
