Rain, hail, lawsuits and the coronavirus crisis fail to halt Wisconsin Primary. WISCONSIN ROCKS!!!!!

[Demsrule86]

The GOP tried to stop the vote yesterday and were willing to risk Wisconsin voters lives...even those in their own party. But Wisconsin showed up and voted in dire circumstances. I am so proud of our side.


FUCK YOU REPUBLICANS...WISCONSIN SHOWED UP;AND WE WILL SHOW UP IN NOVEMBER TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MILWAUKEE — They showed up wearing homemade face masks and plastic garbage bags. They waited in lines for nearly two hours. They endured rain and a pummeling hailstorm.

Voters here on Tuesday braved the most grueling of conditions — with some fearing they were risking their lives — to take part in one of the most dangerous elections the United States has seen.

Amid a pandemic so dangerous that this week the United States surgeon general urged people to stay home, Wisconsin voters went to the polls after the Republican-controlled Legislature and a conservative-led state Supreme Court overturned a move to delay it.

1. The United States Supreme Court's 5 justices were in . . .

cahoots with the WH. They had no concerns for the health and well being for the citizens of WI.

Fuck them.

3. The GOP are a fucking disgrace...but we show up!

2. K&R - Shameful behavior from the GOP but no surprise. They cheat every way they can.

4. I really think it backfired...hoping we win the Wisconsin court seat.

[onetexan]

5. i pray we do. We need to take back WI's control of the Supreme Court &

make WI a trifecta as well. Won't happen overnight but i'm hopeful.

[Demsrule86]

14. Yes we do...Think of Virginia. Gerrymanders are hard but can be broken...you

have to over perform It didn't happen overnight in Virginia either. We went two terms with a Democratic governor and it happened in the first term of his replacement -Northam. We are in for the long haul. .

6. That would be

The best news ever.

[Demsrule86]

12. That would be awesome indeed.

7. I am wondering about what the incoming results are.

I know votes all need to be counted but is there any idea on who is ahead so far?

[Demsrule86]

15. I am very interested too...can hardly wait and we will wait at least until Monday...

I have heard nothing.

8. I am so INSPIRED by Wisconsin

I have no words for how proud I am of you folks. THIS is what democracy looks like.

I grant every Wisconsin voter who braved the elements, oppression, and life threatening illness a virtual Medal of Freedom. You are in good company.

[Demsrule86]

11. What a great idea...they earned it...

[Hortensis]

9. Yes, I am full of gratitude and admiration.

Even understanding many in those lines were trumpsters. All refused to to allow their sovereignty to be suppressed.

[Demsrule86]

10. I am impressed to...they risked their lives to vote...no one should be asked to do that, but I fear

this will not be the last time.

[Hortensis]

13. My husband and I have agreed not to risk our lives shopping

for the next two weeks and then reevaluate, but we will always vote. Standing in line is uncomfortable and boring, but we're not going to have to stand in front of machine gunners on tanks, and imo it's very little to do to protect democracy.

But agree, the Republicans incredibly despicably required people at risk to come out, and far more so to do it to keep citizens from voting. We must remove these people from government.

"...that government of the people, for the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."

16. I am with you Hortensis;we can vote by mail in Ohio. However, they have thrown ballots out claiming

the signature didn't match and other BS reasons...so if we can I may vote in person.
