#17  My heart feels like an alligator.

The PEU's mask has fallen; nobody is buying that "it's for the kids" jazz anymore.

#16  Agreed - the state needs to do it anyway and let Holder (and by extension Obama) show his true colors.

Election day 'registration'? What kind of ID do they require? Is a forged utility bill with a WI address enough?

#15  Hurrah! Hurrah!

#14  Young men and women like Walker, West, Rubio, Jindal, Purdue, Daniels, are the only hope we have. I wish them well.

#13  The states need to do it anyway and damn Holder. If he really pushes it, bring it to the supreme court. He will lose... again.

#12  Yay! It's a beautiful day ;)

Agreed TW.

#11  Landslide!

But, tw, if they attempt to institute the reforms you suggest then Eric Holder will come down on them like a ton of bricks.

#10  Cheating and still lost.

#9  I live in Sun Prairie, a suburb of Madison. And with two more elections ahead, I think the whole state will be politicsed out by the time November's results come in.

Yesterday I thought of a bumper sticker that could be a hit among left and right alike in Wisconsin:
I HAVE STRONG POLITICAL VIEWS
BUT NEED A REST FROM THE DRAMA

#8  TW you hit it out of the park.

After November, when we get an honest AG and get rid of all of the leftist satraps in the DOJ, THEN you prosecute.

Until then, defang and leash the beast.

By the time the DOJ gets all of their cease and desist orders in place, it will be too late.

#7  Agreed, TW.

#6  They won, even though the other side cheated, which means the real win was even more overwhelming. Now is the time to repeal on-the-spot voter registration, pass photo i.d. requirements, and start cleaning up the voter rolls to prevent shennannigans in November. Prosecution is a waste of time, it seems to me, when there are more critical chores to complete.

#5  The Wisconsin most likely will attempt to investigate it. I'm saying that the Feds will noisily claim custody of it (as it is across borders) and nothing will happen.

Meddling in state affairs? This administration is particularly noted for that.

#4  cross-border stuff falls under the Feds

Huh? How stupid. If I were governor, I'd investigate it anyway. What could they do about it? Talk about meddling in state affairs.

#3  Lot's of election day shenanigans by the unions (buses of 'voters' from Michigan, Illinois, etc.). Hopefully there will be some modicom of investigaton, but there probably won't be as the cross-border stuff falls under the Feds.

#2  Hopefully the end of the beginning.

Now is not the time to let up.

#1  The final vote was about 53% to 46%.

Barrett won by a margin of about 100k in Dane county where about 260k votes were counted. The law allows election day registration and the Donks brought in thousands to do this (and, yes, there were likely many illegal registrations, although many were legal). In Milwaukee, Barrett won by about 90k. Here also there were a lot of election day registrations.

These two jurisdictions reported fairly late so the early margins didn't hold up.
