People voting for Donald Trump in today’s Wisconsin primary are seeing their ballots changed to show a vote for Ted Cruz.
Calls began flooding in early this morning to Madison-based ABC affiliate WKOW with reports of voting machines across the state switching votes entered for GOP front runner Donald Trump to his establishment counterpart Ted Cruz. The station has spoken with multiple witnesses and is in the process of verifying statements from Burnett, Clark, Dane, Polk and Portage counties.
According to one witness identified as Jeremy Rogers from Burnett county, “It was the strangest thing. The machine literally would not allow me to vote Trump. I have been a Trump supporter since he launched his campaign and have absolutely no reason to vote for Cruz. I have heard the same from several others coming out of the voting booth. Seems like the establishment will stop at nothing to keep this out of the hands of Trump.”
Brian James, a volunteer and self-professed Cruz supporter who is overseeing the voting at the Burnett county location, had this to say, “These allegations have no basis in reality. If these Trump supporters cannot figure out how to use a voting machine maybe they shouldn’t be voting.”
All eyes have been focused on Wisconsin as many pundits view the state as the last best chance in the “Stop Trump” movement. Members of the establishment have done everything possible to stop Trump from earning the 1237 delegates needed to secure the parties nomination during the first ballot at the Cleveland Convention and Wisconsin is seen as crucial to the cause.

Insulting pup. You need to stop typing with one hand,your nasty ego is getting you too excited,but still unfulfilled. YUK..
What ever. Vote for Hillary them.
“Further proof that Trump does not have the character to be president.”
Are you kidding? And Cruz does? Pathetic. Cruz has “character” alright, like he’s a character right out of Green Acres, Mr. Haney. His voice reveals his character, the character of every stereotype of the phony selfish “lawyer speak” that is the subrosa of every sort of phony politico. Do you understand, one America looks at him, they will call him “creepy”?
If Cruz has character, why does he want to subvert the votes and will of the Republican base and disenfranchise them as he inserts his selfish **** into a disgusting game of “our little rules” that do not fit with an insurgent anti-establishment year? Do you understand, if Cruz - and likely he won’t - but, if he did, get a nomination in this manner that the outrage will literally bring down the entire Republican Party? You don’t think so? Just try and do it, and watch this thing burn down.
Last I checked he was about 35%, Cruz at 48.5%. I know that Cruz got as high as 54% as the wave of Madison and Milwaukee came in and Donald skipped around 31%. But with 3609 of 3852 precincts reporting, the results are as above and are expected to narrow slightly more as the night goes on and the outlying areas that mostly favor Trump get their results in.
So this is actually quite good for the Trump Campaign because so far they are poised to pick up at least 3 delegates and possibly 6 (each Congressional District yields 3 delegates).
The reason this is so good is that the Trump Campaign had allowed for a pickup of ZERO delegates from Wisconsin on the path to 1237. In other words, WI was never factored into the 1237 math. So picking up delegates there is a bonus.
The news gets better as the eastern states come into play where Trump commands huge leads.
In the meantime, Cruz supporters should congratulate themselves for a good victory in Scott Walker’s state. From here on out, it will be Trump all the way. He won’t be making any more mistakes, nor will he allow the media to play any more gotcha games with him. All the recent stumbles will be in the past fading away.
It is expected that Ted Cruz will do his victory lap on the Sunday shows. It should be a good week for him.
Personally , I would rather see our country led by a Military Counsel , and not by ‘elected’ political civilians .
These CIV-POLs have not earned the power that they come to command You own what you earn , and you have to earn what own .
Short of that , we at least need a CIV-POL leader that will let the war fighters off the leash . There is work to be done , this world is a mess and it isn’t every going to get any better unless we start cleaning up the mess makers .
Since WW2 America has sold out it’s greatness , time & again , due to the cowardice and fecklessness of it’s so-called civilian leadership . I cannot understand why it has devolved to this place .
One day we will all wake up and all will be changed . Forever . That day is coming . Better to get the warriors in place BEFORE , not after ....
I wonder what the people in Wisconsin who voted for Trump thought about his gracious comments.
I voted for Cruz here.
When Trump arrived two weeks ago and started trashing Scott Walker for cutting taxes that was it. Trump can raise taxes on himself in New York if he thinks it such a good idea.
Don’t the tone and tenor of your own posts tell you something.
Like Trump himself, all you have left are now very-used personal attacks.
Here is a prediction. Trump does not win the nomination on the first round, but 20-40 votes. He has a televised terpertrumptrum, stomps out, runs as a 3d party.... and gives election to Hillary.
I’m sorry. He had some good ideas. He is now third grade bully who thought he was the best, because his father had some money.
He is a boor.

From the link in #164 we can say that 35% are solidly behind Donald against the 48.5% who voted Cruz.
But the key thing is that Donald won delegates in WI when his campaign planned for ZERO from WI.
The 35% are going to be quiet for a couple of weeks but will have plenty to celebrate soon after.
Enjoy your Cruz victory! The savoring should last through the weekend.
I find it so sad to see that you have become such a bitter,shell of the former cheerful person. I guess pineapples,and Palm trees somehow cannot replace what you are missing that makes you so negative. Prayers for you to find what is clearly lost.
Well said. We so rarely have civilian politicians who have honor in recent decades.
DeToquesville: America is great because she is good. If she ceases to be good, she will cease being great.
we need enlightened warrior leadership
I’ve been on the Trump train for a very long time,and believe me, he didn’t write that. It says from the Trump campaign - no name, nothing. Trump usually posts statements on his twitter or facebook - no sale is right - he didn’t write this.
Hah, you believe that Cruz didn’t know about the Iowas theft, or the photo of Melalnia going viral, and many other things. Can you say that Ted didn’t sign off on those things? Sorry - no sale.
Thanks for caring.
Why do you think I’m bitter? I’m not although I could be.
I’ve been treated badly here because I support Cruz instead of Trump.
I can always use prayers though.
We all can.
Trump will turn his collapsing poll numbers around with a series of strong, yet warm and engaging interviews, in which he details his conservative agenda while demonstrating a mastery of domestic and foreign-policy issues,
LOL!

I feel the same way. Cruz supporters are traitors as far as I am concerned. I will not vote for an ineligible candidate. I’ll never vote for Cruz.
It is not that you support Cruz, you demean Trump and his supporters in the vilest of ways.
and then will sCruz explain all about the National Enquirer and FoamBoy PI work ? and his friend Amanda girl? guess his wife doesnt like her, or so it seems.
