Where did the votes come from? The Democratic turnout was essentially stable from 2008 (2012 would have been expected to be less since BO ran unopposed). The Republican turnout was 250% increased. Does this seem a bit odd?
2016
Cruz 48.2% 531,129
Trump 35.1% 386,370

Sanders 56.6% 567,936
Clinton 43.1% 432,767

2012
Mitt Romney 44.1% 346,279
Rick Santorum 36.9% 289,648

On the Democratic side Obama ran uncontested.

Mike Huckabee 151,707 37.0%
Dems Barack Obama 646,851 58.1%
Hillary Clinton 453,954 40.8%

Where did the votes come from? From very angry Wisconsin voters. I live in Wisconsin. The turnout in my very Republican county was YUUUUUGE.

My friend works at the polls nearby and told me early voting was out of the ballpark! That’s great.

We here in WI have been through 3 governor votes in recent years, once for the oh so disgusting recall of Gov. Walker. We love us some Walker, but seeing him surrounded by the GOP elites was sickening to many of us.

I’m all in for Trump. Talk Radio here was way over the top for Cruz, calling Trump every slimy name in the book. I wrote to them, asking if they would treat Hillary or Bernie that way? Thoroughly disgusted by them.

WE will turn out, we DID turn out in droves. We had VOTER ID which was excellent. Finally got to use Voter ID after the left fought in court for 5 years. Less voter fraud. Illinois couldn’t drive busloads up to Milwaukee to vote. haa. Bout time.

So, YES the extremely high voter turnout was legit!
