donald trump's win in wisconsin...the first for a republican nominee since 1984. looking into the results, his victory can be explained state...and also...by who didn't vote. a.j. bayatpour explains... i generally always vote democrat; i lean left a lot of the ways and i was very dissatisfied with hillary as a candidate. i felt like she didnt really bring anything. while jake schnar voted third party....it seems many others simply stayed home. compared to 2012, nearly 58-thousand fewer people voted

about 43- thousand fewer votes than barack obama did four years ago. wisconsin was decided by fewer than 27-thousand votes. in brown county, turnout was similar to 2012 but donald trump's margin of victory was six times bigger than mitt romney's. anita johnson with citizen action of wisconsin says it's too soon to say how much photo i-d laws had to do with the drop-off. we have to get the count on how many provisional ballots were given out and why they were given out. maybe a two or three-point drop in turnout was likely. charles franklin with the marquette law school polls says the surprise in side. both of them had come down a bit so it didnt look then that turnout would really affect the balance of who got more of the vote. apparently, there was some difference in that, though. the final m-u poll had clinton winning wisconsin by six points. franklin says pollsters nationwide are trying to figure out what happened. this is not the first time a poll has been wrong but whats striking is this time, it was a lot of polls that were wrong, not just here in

franklin says a couple other surprises in the exit polls: donald trump did better than mitt romney with both african-american and hispanic voters. trump also did just as well with republican women as he did with men. weather clear tonight with lows in the upper 30s to low 40s. a strong southwest breeze will bring us

season, the packers are in a strange position. they're optimistic with 8 games remaining. but there's a lot to reflect on, including the role of the offensive backfield. tim van vooren takes a closer look tonight at lambeau field. "with all the focus on packer running back injuries this season, ty montegomery's role has certainley changed but so too has second year fullback, aaron ripkowski's." "obviously a fullback by label is his position but hes done a very good job with his one back oppertunities especially in the blitz pick up and the protection." "i gotta give a lot of credit to aaron ripkowski. i think he's come on the last three or four weeks. he's done a great been great and most importantly his performance have been really solid for us." "green bay has another fullback on the active roster now, bringing up joe kerridge from the practice squad to help on special teams and be a second fullback." "if it's on offense, if it's on special teams, just wherever i can fit in, what i can learn the best and execute it out on the practice field is what i'm going to do." "an average joe and the ripper,
