RECOUNT IN WISCONSIN? - Democrat Tony Evers has defeated Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, the Associated Press projected, apparently denying the controversial governor and one-time presidential candidate a third term ... But Walker is not conceding defeat, He appeared to lose by just over 1 percentage point with Evers earning roughly 29,000 more votes than his Republican opponent, according to unofficial results. State law permits recounts only if the losing candidate is within 1 percentage point. Walker campaign spokesman Brian Reisinger says "We need the official canvass and for military ballots to be counted before any decision can be made." Just before the race was called for Evers, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch told supporters to prepare for a "long, drawn-out recount." Evers' win would be a huge victory for Democrats, who couldn't find the recipe to take out Walker in three previous elections, including a 2012 recall. - Reported by Matt Finn and Frank Miles
