Fox Point and Bayside sided with the big winners Tuesday night, supporting President Barack Obama and Senator-elect Tammy Baldwin, both Democrats.

Bayside broke Democrat in every race, though by narrow margins in some. Congresswoman Gwen Moore outpolled Dan Sebring 1,298-1,185 in the race for the U.S. House of Representatives in District 4, while Cris Rogers edged overall winner Jim Ott 1,334-1,307 in the State Assembly 23^rd District.

Fox Point narrowly supported GOP candidates in the District 4 race, as Sebring edged Moore by 100 votes; and in the state 23^rd District race, with Ott outpolling Rogers by 107 votes.

Ott, from Mequon, is a new face for Whitefish Bay, Fox Point and Bayside, due to new redistricting boundaries.

The presidential margins in both communities were similar to 2000, 2004 and 2008, when each supported Democratic candidates.

Turnout approached 90 percent in Fox Point and Bayside, with big lines early in the day.

"The line was curling all the way around the building (at Longacre Pavilion)," said Barb Mueller, chief election inspector in Fox Point. "A few times all the voting booths were full for us, but here, having to wait is unusual." 

But voters experienced few if any problems at local polling places. At Bayside Middle School, some voting machines would jam when the bins collecting ballots would fill up. And both communities experience some “over-voting,” with citizens choosing more than one candidate for a race.

Here are ward-by-ward breakdowns for how both communities voted Tuesday. Results are not official until they are canvassed.
