Wisconsin Megathread v3: GOP in MASSIVE DISARRAY

[MasterJedi]

684 on my rural Ozaukee county village (wish we never moved out of Milwaukee County). Place was busy with a line. Voted no on both referendums, for the school funding one here and wrote in Joe Biden against the guy who was endorsed by the county “patriots” who were running unopposed

Wish more people would do write ins for unopposed elections or just not vote so these people can be embarrassed by getting zero votes.

Going by the margins in Waukesha County, I'd say both questions will pass pretty easily.

As expected, they LOOK good but the average person has no idea what they do.

State Dems should have done a better job here educating folks.

My hometown's county board seat (Dane County District 36) was decided by 6 votes!

I'm surprised question 2 is doing much better than question 1.

Ugh. Sucks that these referendums both passed.

Wisconsin schools used to be considered excellent. They haven’t in awhile and Waukesha is going to start sending even more unprepared students to college due to this. Remember, eastern half of Waukesha county is rich, they don’t allow their kids to become tradesman.

Most of the articles I'm encountering seem to be some variation of "Dems in Disarray!" or "Bad news for Biden." Is this BS? I don't really know what I'm looking at with these results.

Literal Parks and Rec scenario in Wausau.

I don't think it's bad news for Biden, but this was the first good night for the WIGOP since Spring 2019 so its understandable why they would be celebrating.

Are people seriously trying to make projections and predictions on federal elections based on mayoral elections again?

That's the sort of thing that normies would never do but people at places like here overthink so much they actually do. It's that "What if Newsom appoints Kamala Harris to Feinstein's seat?" sort of thing.

If people's water bills went up then of course the mayor lost. This happens in deep red places too where a random Democrat wins because of very few voters and an incumbent that's perceived to have cost the public something. It's not like the Republicans flipped the Supreme Court back or something like that.

WI isn't a red state it's part of the blue wall and WSJ has Biden ahead in WI of all states

Why did I learn about the much-vaunted Question 1's outcome from a non-descript one-liner on Talk Elections?

Green Bay good for Democrats too

And I know what the real meaning of that post is, but why does it read like the progressive wing of the Democratic party won back control of Green Bay council from the strangehold of super-hyper-moderate-New-Democratic-Caucus capture?

Ann Bradley not running again in 2025, which makes sense as she is 73. But it does present the possibility that Republicans could flip the court back and pull a North Carolina with gerrymandering (assuming they flip WI-GOV and hold the court). Alternatively, Democrats could then flip the other Bradley's seat in 2026 as well...

If Dems want breathing room on the WISC, they will need to hold Good Bradley's seat, and then flip Bad Bradley's seat the year after. A 5 - 2 majority would let them lose the only other seat they have up in the 2020s and still hold a majority, with an opportunity for pickup(s) as well.
