And that evil old Nazi collaborator Gyorgy has far too many wins in life. It’s time for that man to start experiencing losses pronto.
Part of the problem is Democrat cheating. But another part is what Rush Limbaugh called low information voters. In November, you had enough voters attracted to Trump and repulsed by the Democrats to overcome any cheating coming out of Milwaukee and Madison. The sort of voters who only pay attention two weeks before the even numbered year November elections and then go back to watching sports, fishing, playing cards, etc., must be motivated to come out in these situations. How to do so is something I don’t know how to do. In the last 25 years, California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado have gone from purple to deep blue because the low information voters sat out the state legislature, district court, school board, city council, and county supervisor races.
Vilification is all they have. He is resigning in 60 days.
Some Wisconsin Conservatives now live in Florida.
Exactly!
Well, 2026 mid-terms are gonna be a disaster, then. DJT has less than a year.
Congress has less than a year.
I don’t look at this as a huge cheating issue.. Again, not saying no hanky panky went on.. there is always some in every election.
However, when you break down the numbers, it doesn’t show a glaring “cheat” problem.
Dems outspent Republicans 2 to 1.
Off cycle elections are all about turnout and motivation. With Republicans in power, democrats having a highly motivated segment of their base that alone would expect heavy turnout.
GOP has an issue, and its the same issue they have had since TRUMP came on the scene. Its simple, and they haven’t figured it out yet... the MAGA base, and the GOP base OVERLAP, but they are NOT THE SAME.
Trump overperforms a generic GOP candidate, nearly 100% of the time.. yes there are some districts and candidates where this is an exception, but, they are the vast minority. When Trump is no on the ballot, GOP Does not do as well as when he is on the ballot.
Put simply, TRUMP absolutely owns the MAGA base, and does very well with the GOP base... MAGA candidates when Trump isn’t on the ballot don’t do as well, and GOP Candidates also don’t do as well as when Trump is on the ballot IN GENERAL.
The GOP actually did VERY WELL in this race, they manage to get ~245k more votes than they did in the 2013 special election... more than a 25% improvement in turnout. Unfortunately, Democrats got ~280k more people to show up in 2025 than 2023, a slightly smaller margin percentage wise, but still enough to win comfortably.
Yes it stinks the Liberal justice won, but when you factor in Democrats outspending GOP by 2 to 1 and Democrats definitely have a more motivated base due to GOP being in control, trying to say this was a fraudulent win is dishonest.
The bright spot is, Voter ID passed and passed HUGE.
The only places in the state where it was voted down were Milwaukee by an insanely small margin, and in state capital where the Politicians are... This is a huge blow for the Democrats long term.
Similar ballot initiative is expected in California, and by all polls its looking like it will pass there by 60-40 as well. This entire issue is a huge loser for Democrats... IF they can’t win this issue in Milwaukee by more than a few points, they have ZERO chance of winning this issue in ANY state.
Regarding spending, I saw this on the Brennan Center website:
“Crawford’s campaign spending of $19.4 million is more than double that of Schimel’s $8.9 million. (These figures are based on estimates of television ad spending, and candidate filings due this week will paint a fuller picture of their fundraising and spending.) But independent groups like super PACs and nonprofits spending untraceable “dark money” favor Schimel by a much larger margin: $12.9 million benefiting Crawford compared with almost $32.1 million boosting Schimel.”
So in total, Schimel actually outspent Crawford by $8.7 million.
If I lived in Wisconsin, I’d have definitely showed up at the rally to win Elon’s $1 million check!
I trust you, I am not on the ground in WI... however, I still don’t see massive fraud indicated in this race... Especially when compared with the voter ID race numbers.
I personally expected this to wind up looking closer to the Superintendent race, where the Liberal would likely win but probably in the 5-8 range. The fact this was 10 points did surprise me, but I can’t look at this race and determine it was lost due to fraud.
Well, they aren’t shy about their fraud- who knew Biden would get “81 million” votes...? (that’s a joke)
Voter ID passed and passed HUGE
Liberal justice won
Sure looks like voter fraud to me...absolutely not plausible.
