Do the outstanding precincts favor Crawford or Schimel?

Not PP but Crawford is overperforming Harris everywhere which signals a comfortable win.

It’s a good day when Musk wastes his money.

I hope Republicans are recognizing that Musk is becoming toothless. He may have money but his policies are bad and America sees it and won't keep voting for his people. We need Republicans to back away from Musk and MAGA and ignore his threats to primary them for defying them.

Exactly. Musk is about to put them all out of their jobs and on the wrong side of history too. No winning with Elon or Felon going forward after Trump's disastrous first 100 days and destruction of our markets/economy and health services.

Voter ID won in Wisconsin. By a lot.

I'll be the nit-picky one to state that Wisconsin's election today is NOT a special election 😉 They always have these state and local elections first Tuesday of April.

Now that that's off my chest: what an embarrassment for Elon and Dump. It's not even close. Looks like Crawford might end up taking this one by 12+ points. A powerful message indeed.

Oh, and the turnout! Really really high turnout. People are obviously fired up.

Musk devoted a lot of time and money to this Wisconsin race. If it really is a blowout, GOP can be a little braver and consider what their constituents want.

yes the GOP need to rediscover their lost backbones and actually represent the constituents who voted them in. nobody wants a trashed economy and a trade war with Canada. this weird fringe alt right party has made mistake after mistake. they are now saying on tope of discussing national security on signal, walz was routinely using gmail too.

they are such dangerous incompetents.

Well...kind of. These are *exactly* the policies/platform that Trump voters wanted and that the GOP has been salivating over for years. They are/were just too dumb to recognize the havoc it would wreak on the economy.

This is something I can’t stop thinking about. 10,000 people lost their jobs today for no reason, because of a man no one elected who had millions lying around to try to buy an election.

What if he gave each of the laid off people in HHS $1M. That would be money better spent.

Technically, Kennedy fired them.

Kennedy’s brain worm fired them.

I'm a teacher in WI and Underly has actually been very...uh...mediocre in terms of her ability to lead the Department...BUT at least she believes in the concept of the Department of Public Instruction. Kinser is a total privatizer/voucher person...had some Moms for Liberty ties...no thanks. I am happy that Underly won because the alternative would've been way worse, but she's got some work to do...

The bigger issue is their seats are gerrymandered, and the state surpeme court is poised to unlock them and make the districts more even.

I feel like everyone’s so excited about embarrassing Elon/repudiating Trump that many are forgetting that this was an actual election with real implications beyond just making the MAGAs look dumb. Lol. Keeping the liberal balance on the supreme court in WI - which will be one of, if not THE, tipping point states in ‘26 and ‘28 - was an absolute must. This is great.
