119% turnout in Madison. I imagine that doesn’t include any of the absentee ballots.

Huh? Doesn’t 119% turnout mean you have more voters than registered voters? More votes than voters? I’m confused....

Wisconsin allows same day registration to vote.

Progressives shrug the 119% figure off as evidence that people are registering at the polls to vote. Considering that Wisconsin has oddly relaxed voter ID laws and a judge granted an injunction against measures that would have protected people’s votes, is it any surprise?
I’m sure Eric Holder’s DOJ is on the case.

Drudge changed the headline to “Close, but no Recall”... Seems like its way too tight for comfort... Just day-um

Not sure if he’s troll, but one thing for sure. Securityman wishes Walker to lose. He made predictions in January that Walker would lose. So, either for ideological reason or simply for the opportunity to say ‘I told you so’ , he’d love to see Walker lost.

I think 119% indicates a lot of same day registering at the polls.

I'm certain that Holder's DOJ will be right on this...

Exit polls are usually done by phone.

It must be all the dem underground posters because those hate-filled goofballs think Barrett is going to win.
Great material will soon be available if things don’t work out the way that they expect them to pj.
Great new material!...i hope

FWIW, intrade has Walker at 87.7, down from 93+ earlier. Can’t wait for this to be over so I can exhale.

I’m not going to say that Walker has it in this bag, but I’ve never seen so many obviously silly rumors come out of both sides on an Election day.

The basis for feeling that we should not feel complacent is that the unions in particular, and the Dems in general, are facing a mortal threat in Wisconsin. Public employee union membership is down around 50%, and will likely go down further as more school district contracts come up for renewal and the new legislation provisions kick in.

Expect the Dems to cheat like never before, because so much is riding on it for them.

The voter fraud story on US News’ website has crashed...what’s going on?

Mark Belling put other’s emails on the air today too.

All about the great effort to get out and vote.

One lady was having a gall bladder attack and was in great pain, yet she and her husband went to vote.

Another lady was elderly and battling cancer, and feeling the effects of chemotherapy. Her son and daughter-in-law took her to vote and steadied her along the way.

One father implored his daughters (who live with him, they were ages around 20) to get out and vote, to show the values their dad and mom gave them. They voted.

Numerous other radio listeners called or wrote to Mark with stories of getting former non-voters to vote.

One that was similar to my father’s story...one lady aged 90, who last voted for EISENHOWER (!) got out and voted for Walker and Kleefisch today.

Mark’s show was 3 hours of election coverage today, an outstanding show.

Attn: ALL

Hear the best WI radio talk show host’s Tuesday election show here:

MARK BELLING’S radio show webpage

http://www.belling.com/

Show ended at 6pm central, but you can hear it “on demand” at that webpage.

Thanks for all the support today everyone!

We in Wisconsin really appreciate your prayers.

To be fair, the actual words being referenced in the 119% claim are: "turnout is on pace to hit 119% in Madison."

This is far different from already having reached an almost certainly fraudulent level of voting. I have no doubt that there is massive, organized fraud in Madison, but the report should be read correctly. We also MUST learn from the level of fraud and the methods used today. It would be indescribably sweet to win this election and then use the lessons to keep the Dems from stealing the November election.

Robert Costa from National Review says his well-connected sources are predicting a Walker win by about 3%. Clearly, a narrower margin than the exit polls show, and it may wind up being higher; they will often understate things in order to keep people out and voting as long as the polls are open.

Yeah, the Fox News' exit polls I saw about 30 minutes ago (and during Bret Baier's "Special Report" show at 6pm ET) have me VERY nervous. Looks WAY too close for comfort for me...
