Stats and facts about the state of Wisconsin:
- Wisconsin was the thirtieth state to join the union on May 29, 1848, two years before California and two years after Iowa.
- Population, as of 2010, is 5,686,986.
- Senators are Ron Johnson (R) and Herb Kohl (D).
- Representatives are Paul Ryan (R), Tammy Baldwin (D), Ronald Kind (D), Gwen Moore (D), James Sensenbrenner (R), Thomas Petri (R), Sean Duffy (R), and Reid Ribble (R).
- Wisconsin has ten electoral votes. Historically, the state voted primarily red through 1928. Wisconsin turned blue, like many other states, during the Great Depression and World War II. From 1944 to 1984 the state was unpredictable and swung in both directions from election to election. However, Wisconsin has voted for the Democratic presidential candidate in every single election since 1988. Barack Obama defeated John McCain 56% to 42% in 2008.
