It was a historic turnout here in Wisconsin for a spring election which overwhelmed any attempt to hack, steal, or buy it.
If Democrats and the Left had the same fire in the belly to win and would have turned out in historic numbers last November there would be no president Trump or interfering Musk now. If voters in Wisconsin in this election had the same over-confident attitude that Democrats had in November, Schimel would have won here yesterday.
