#1 ...FWIW, I seem to remember that just before the election, the Republican was so far ahead that they were writing off Justice-Elect Karofsky.

Funny, that.

#2 So much for the 'paper ballot' safer than electronic.

In person unless on federal orders to be someplace else. Period.

#4 What are the odds of this 70% Dem mail-in ballot tally happening by chance, without fiddling?

Less than 1%?

#5 More likely due to local cemetaries having their own Post Office.

#6 The gap suggests that Democrats were more organized and proactive in their vote-by-mail efforts

Proactive? Is that a euphemism for "ballot harvesting"?

#7 Someone reiterated the "If you are getting flak" truism in regard to this. Further, I'd say, if dems want it, it's probably a very bad idea. If the usual suspects are saying "it won't be a problem," then look out...

#8 The Dems also talked a Madison District judge (uber-liberal - what else?) into extending the vote counting a week to accomodate mail-in ballots that 'didn't arrive by voting day' (in other words, ballots not requested by the individual voters until after the normal cutoff for doing so - usually 2-weeks prior). The extra time allowed the usual suspects to do their deeds.

#9 Fair mail-in votes would tend to be equal but actual mail-in ballots are one of the main ways the Democrats steal elections.
