You might be asking the wrong question.
American elections are now managed by the government class oligarchy. If you are a member of the government class (an “insider”), your oligarchy will n9t work to defeat you, and you will do their bidding when it is required.
If you are not in that club, the votes will be manufactured/harvested as needed to defeat you. Other actions can also be taken if manufacturing or harvesting are not enough (see Maricopa or Philadelphia or Detroit…or Atlanta).
This election was more certain weeks ago than the sun rising in the east tomorrow.
You’re probably right and it sickens me that snakes like Kemp have the backing of the GOP-E oligarchy ,so he wins with no problem. I bet Kemp won’t say it, but he’s secretly happy about the result and he’ll give praise to Walker for putting up a tough fight.
