These three counties, collectively known as WOW, have traditionally been among the most Republican areas in the state. It is also the last time a Democratic gubernatorial candidate carried Calumet and Marinette counties. This is also the most recent Wisconsin gubernatorial election in which both major party candidates are now deceased.
