Don't get sidetracked today get out and vote for Kelly for Supreme Court.

Just got home. Our small town has local elections too, voting was up about 50 per cent from normal for this time of day. Not sure if increase was due to local or supreme court election.

Headed there after work. Wife was #14 this morning.

We voted this afternoon. It isn't likely to help. I'm afraid the Soros-chosen crochet-collared idiot will take it and they'll have the majority.

I hope I'm wrong.

last I saw she had $6 million more...to work with ..{out of state money} It's about to get jammed down our throats

Done. Now time to hope for the best. Poor weather tonight.

Looks like the frilly collar took it.

We’re screwed. Here comes the pot and baby killing

Get woke

I voted

we also had a local referendum here , they wanted to raise the taxes by some percent , and I agree they need a referendum to fund operating expenses , the issue is how they wrote the question , they put no end date on it. so it has to fail

tell me 5 years and no new assessments for those 5 years and I will vote for it , but a never ending increase with no limits or terms is writing a book full of blank checks and that I can't do.

To lose a state wide election in a purple socially quite conservative state by 200K votes shows that the wrong candidates the GOP selects hurts them badly, especially when the opposition is as liberal as most state she is.
Wisconsin is purple due to a high percentage or independents, conservative Dems and moderate GOP voters and the constant references to bloody abortions when over 70 % are not surgical and always stating anytime one loses the election was stolen gets old to many fast. There needs to be a serious look by parties as they go from state to state and try to understand the politics and demographics of each state instead of trying to ram national formats. Counties like Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago are real purple to leaning red and Kelly lost every one of those three which have over 600k voters. Trying to keep bring up election deniers in purple and moderate states which now there enough of that swing about 100 electoral votes will be costly and we all pay for the fact that a few think they can control independent minded voters. Forty five million spent to get just shy of 2 million votes shows us what 2024 will be like and I am sure strong abortion supporters are extremely encouraged to see these results.

A strict anti-abortion stance is a bad stance in an statewide election. Whether you like it or not that is reality. Many women see abortion as a last chance birth control, even older women in their 30's and 40's.

Another thing is there are great opportunities when running against a self admitted "progressive".
Just to name a few,
Our last SCOTUS could not define what a woman is, use that against them,
The DOJ is going after parents who object to school curriculum's,
A "trans" kid sexually assaulted 2 girls in HS bathrooms only to have it swept under the rug by the school board
CRT, teaching kids to hate each other and blaming all whites for everyone's problems.
Evers shut down on Covid and the R's getting into court to get it lifted, not a peep about how much longer we would of been shut down if it wasn't left to progressives.

These ideologies are part and parcel to "progressives" even if the candidate doesn't admit to them paint her with it.

I can't for the life of me understand why R's are silent on all these things.

independent minded voters? lol

Only 820,00 conservatives in Wisconsin, who would have thought that. Poor turn out for conservatives for sure.

I think both parties need to take a closer look at voters in middle.. I know few young people so disenfranchised they don't vote, feel their vote doesn't matter. That is really a shame they don't trust any of them.
Whole things like big Soap Opera a who's screwing who.

I live in Michigan and don't have a clue who's who,but for a good while now every time I turn on you tube there's ads trashing Kelly.And I don't mean one or two.These are followed by ads praising a woman who's last name nobody can pronounce.They're definitely dominating the air waves

Jesus could run as a republican and not win. lol Get used to it.

in a state wide election with an unpopular candidate , was it really any surprise it went how it did

I know plenty of people , super pro gun , super conservative when it comes to fiscal policy , but frankly they don't care if a woman wants to kill her baby and a good lot of them would say better she kill it than they have to pay for it.

so in a nearly evenly divided state in any year with an edge to the cities in any state wide election. fail to engage one set of voters and get the other very engaged that they will loose . keep lost the right to kill their baby

they do a very good job of side selling it as bodily autonomy rather than baby killing , they are not killing the baby the way they see it they are just not providing it a home , potatoe , potato

the new generation of voters really does not see it as a baby till it is crying and nursing , they are distant from babies , a much larger portion of them don't even want kids or if they do they will have been voting for 15 years before they are thinking about kids.

I think he was a bad candidate to run he had been a judge and had already lost his seat so why run him again

and she appears to intend to legislate form the bench a very dangerous thing

if 60% want abortion then the legislature should legislate the change not a judge or court

3,591,117 registered voters 1,839,656 votes in that race , there were people who couldn't bring themselves to vote for either of them but showed for local referendums
to get 51.2% really isn't that bad of a turn out

to give you an idea of turn out this was total voters in 2018 spring election 1,018,267 so that is typical historic spring election

2019 spring election 1,225,095 total voters

The abortion battle is being lost because it is being seen as a women's issue. There are three people involved in every pregnancy. A father, a mother and a child. If you take away any one of those three, you do not have a pregnancy. Abortion is not a health issue or a women's issue it is a civil rights issue. One of those three people are being given authority over the rights of the other two. How is that even constitutional? Certainly goes against every thing we care about with regard to human rights.

We all want to champion our second amendment rights, our constitutional rights of freedom of speech, freedom of worship, etc. We are all about our rights. If a person does not have the right to life, all other rights are meaningless. Abortion is about human rights.

Hang in there Bernie, they’ll soon change their mind about the baby killing when there are no consequences for them being killed.
