roughly 2 million voted in the 2016 primary. 1M for Dems and 1M for rethugs.

that was, obviously, in perfect conditions.

and clearly 1M will not vote for the rethugs, since drumpf is unopposed.....

so maybe we can pull out this supreme court race

to the citizens of WI who took their civic duty seriously. I'd read earlier that a million absentee ballots were predicted. That 864,750 number is pretty close with more to be counted.

And Bravo to all those in the state today who risked their health, went to the polls and had their voices heard. It was totally irresponsible of Republicans forcing the in-person election date with Covid-19 in full swing.

Never forget, never forgive. These suckers need to be crushed!

Milwaukee usually has 180 polling places, but this time Milwaukee had only five polling places for a city of just over 500,000. How many people did you kill this time around you Republican Pigs?!!! Think what it's going to be like come November!!!

This is a dem primary, right? Why is there a judge vote on the ballot? And wouldn’t the judge vote be skewed by the amount of Dems voting? I know I’m missing something.

even in states with closed primaries like here in Pennsylvania. We often had the same ballot questions appear on both party ballots for example.

Wed Apr 8, 2020, 09:24 AM
Apr 2020

And why wouldn't that enrage every GOP voter? Those voters standing in line with masks are NOT your typical GOPer voter who's listened to months of CoVid pandemic denials and is deeply cynical about protective clothing and devices. If a GOPers is standing in line with the full array of protective gear, that voter is NOT happy with the GOP.
