Kolek planning to go pro
Oh, you didn't notice the House flipped and the wicked witch of the west is dead, hey?
It was a very bad night for MAGA Republicans.
Well the other good thing is that there was neither widespread election denial nor widespread election intimidation. People just went out and voted with almost all candidates accepting the results (so far).Democracy worked!
FTFY
So yesterday I go vote at my local voting center, about 2 pm. I have my ID and Clerk checks the roster and says, .."looks like you voted already" I look at the box, and sure enough, someone had signed my name in the box, and voted for me. I say, but I just got here, must be some mistake. They call someone from the back room, and he says just sign over the top of that signature and let him vote again. I have a meeting with the village clerk later today to try to understand. My guess is the early voting, someone drew my name, had someone verify it and send it in to be counted.

Pro tip: go to rockford, not south beloit. South beloit has higher prices for us WI folks.
Other than basically Florida 's huge wins it was a bad night for Republicans across the board. And the Arizona voting issue is potentially a lingering nightmare. Trump still won't go away and the Dems were shrewd to vote for Trump candidates. Maybe DeSantis can win the nomination over Trump but it doesn't appear likely right now. As a side note the four candidates for the two key states are among the worst in human history. We also have no idea who the Dem nominee will be in 2024. I'm also not sure moderates exist anymore for either party. Maybe Mo Khanna? I dunno.
Nah Mugster, the frontrunner for the Pale House in '24 emerged and was magnificent in his victory speech. As I see it, a very good night, hey?
Of course they do. Tony Evers is a moderate-left candidate who wins because there is nothing really controversial about him and he gets stuff done - well as much as he can given the legislature. That being said, if Republicans would have nominated the moderate-right candidate in Kleefisch, she very well may have won.There are plenty of other examples out there who don't really grab the headlines. But they are out there.
Outstanding pivot from Orange is Best President Ever to Orange Lite will be Best President Ever.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.

TBH, I don't think so. I don't feel that WI GOP voters are particularly nuanced in their voting. In the end .. very very few votes switched from 2018. Yes, Evers got 30k more than 2018. Is that explained by the candidate, or the national GOP platform (of you know, insurrection, conspiracy and stuff) ?It is fascinating that Waukesha/Oz counties were significantly less red. Mequon of all places was 114 votes away from turning blue. That's incredible.
Two many woke folks in Da Quon. Almost too da point dat ya bust out inn hives, hey?
Hm, it appears page 4 won't happen.
