Hopefully it's an Akin-esque moment that can help deliver Evers a win. It sounds bad enough. I just don't know if I trust Wisconsin to respond that way to it.

Is it just me, or do Atlas Dems seem to have a particular "distrust" of Wisconsin in a way they don't towards MI and PA. Is it because of how bad polling has been in Wisconsin?

Polling has had a worse Dem bias in WI than PA and MI.

Surely you remember the October 2020 Biden +17 poll.

Are these two debating?

Watched part of the debate yesterday. Michels looked like a sweaty Lite Rand Paul, and Evers wasn’t an inspiring speaker. I don’t think it changed much.

Overall, I think Evers and Kaul win by 1-2% or so, and RonJon wins by 3-4%.

It's the gubernatorial race, so definitely not.

Who wins the Sec of State, Treasurer, and Attorney General elections?

Im guessing this will be the year Doug LaFollette finally loses. The GOP has a strong candidate with Amy Loudenbeck.

On the drive to Rusk County for hunting I saw a Trump/Evers voter near Osseo. Definitely had Trump signs in 2020 and now it has Evers signs up, along with a “Proud Union Home” and “Vote Yes for Our Schools” sign.

Is the fact that this race has been relatively quiet compared to other competitive races good for Dems or GOP?

Interesting but could easily be a new occupant.

It’s not, the same vehicles/UTVs and yard decor are all the same. My guess is a working class voter who wants the border secured and tax cuts but supports public education.

This is getting kinda old, is it not. Republicans were caught saying the same thing after the 2010 elections and look what happened shortly after.

Wisconsin's legislature passed several bills in their last session that would negatively affect voter turnout. The only reason they are not law now is because Tony Evers vetoed them.

The climate of the country is nothing like 2010. The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act & upheld Wisconsin's gerrymandered districts. There is a significant portion of Americans who no longer trust elections in this country. Wisconsin has a decent collection of those folks, and they are very vocal and pushing things in the state GOP. Michels is courting them.

This is nothing like what was being claimed in 2010.

And, to be completely forthright, winning in 2010 did mean that the WI GOP is much more likely to win congressional and state legislature districts. They weren't lying about their goals then, either.

It seems like this decade the only real defenses Dems have is being able to control the row offices (including governor) and the court. The GOP's vote distribution in Wisconsin is amazingly effective and doesn't seem like it'll go away anytime soon. The legistlature will not face direct electoral consequences no matter what but the difference between a majority and supermajority is meaningful.

Court: Green Bay, Wisconsin Must Let GOP Poll Watchers Observe The Entire Early Voting Process

A Wisconsin judge issued a temporary injunction on Wednesday that will allow Republican poll watchers in Green Bay to observe the entire early voting process throughout the 2022 election cycle. The ruling came less than 24 hours after the Republican National Committee (RNC) took legal action against the city for barring GOP observers from supervising certain parts of the in-person absentee voting procedures.
