Have we garnered sustainable fourth world conditions... in Wisconsin?
…does he ever say out loud what he was thinking about fraud?
LOL! Loss for words!
Everyone knows that paper ballots voter ID same day voting purple thumbs and paper audit trails are the answer.
People who defend this need to be identified and shipped to China.
Christine Gregoire, Al Franken, David Crowley.
This has got to stop.
First time is accident. Second time is coincidence. Third time is enemy action. Fourth time the enemy isn't the problem anymore, you are.
It's always Milwaukee. Why is that?
How do you expect Democrats to count primary votes on time if you don't tell them who the winner is!? Jeez! CC, JSM
Crowley’s triumph shows centrism is the way forwards for Democrats. According to CNN, centrists have "roared" back with a meow of a ... 0.5% margin
I told my wife the Crowley would win because they would somehow find the votes to make it happen. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
Fred Drinkwater (in another thread) said..." this gets to an absolutely basic bit of election security. NO JURISDICTION'S VOTE NUMBERS SHOULD BE REPORTED BEFORE ALL JURISDICTIONS HAVE FINALIZED THEIR VOTE COUNTS."
It's always Milwaukee coming in late in close elections. There's no way that's not by design. You have to deprive them of the data they need to cheat.
Lol, the communists aren't going anywhere, and they're 100x more vindictive. They'll burn the party down to rule the ashes.
There's another way to approach this, at least in the primaries. Get rid of primaries. They're a sham anyways, and an expense that we shouldn't be burdened with. The goddamn parties should select their own candidates without this charade.
Why are votes ever on USB drives in the first place?
The US has the stupidest electoral processes in the world! If I ever move to the upper 50, unlikely, I will not even bother to register. I will not take part in such a corrupt process.
Yes, I know, that is the reverse of what I said yesterday but my voting assumes secure elections.
PAPER BALLOTS, people. Preserved for multiple years.
And in person voting, and ID cards, and same day voting and so on.
It aint that hard. If us dumbe ignorant Puerto Ricans can have trustworthy elections, y'all smart folks up there ought to be able to figure it out.
(Sadly, our corrupt pols are moving our elections to corrupt US standards. I am considering turning in my voter ID card but my wife won't let me. I probably won't vote in 28 which will suspend my card since I missed 24)

LOL! You are such a retard.
Nobody takes you seriously.
I can't wait for the actual democrat voters to start burning down the democrat establishment's stuff. You think stealing this election will solve your problems. You are just so stupid.
"It aint that hard. If us dumbe ignorant Puerto Ricans can have trustworthy elections, y'all smart folks up there ought to be able to figure it out."
John Henry - You know it's not stupidity. It's corruption.
Whether it’s the trunk of a ‘71 Buick Electra or USB drives, the rotters always manage to find ‘em.
Who cares. It would not have affected the 2020 election!!!
(For the perpetually troubled populous that think the ONLY problem with screwy voting is how it impacts Trump.)
At least they didn't find mail-in ballots in a car trunk.
What makes it even cooler is that Hong's supporters cant complain since they believe all elections are fair and honest.

IIRC, and I'll check, in 2018, it was Racine County that brought the magic votes putting Tony Evers over Scott Walker.
Wikipedia sez:
"The result was considered "too close to call" on election night, with Walker and Evers being separated by a mere few hundred votes for much of the night as counties reported their results. Shortly after midnight on November 7, Milwaukee County reported around 46,000 uncounted absentee ballots. From those ballots, Evers received 38,674 votes, or 84% of the total, and Walker 7,181, giving Evers a narrow lead. The race was called for him shortly after.[1] As of 2026, this is the only Wisconsin gubernatorial election since 2002 where the incumbent was defeated.
Wisconsin was the only state in the 2018 gubernatorial election cycle to elect a Democratic governor while voting more Republican than the national average.[a] With a margin of 1.1%, this election was also the second-closest race of the 2018 gubernatorial election cycle, behind only the election in Florida. Walker was one of two incumbent governors to be defeated for re-election in 2018, the other being Republican Bruce Rauner in neighboring Illinois, who had lost decisively to J. B. Pritzker."
I still remember a last minute surge from Racine County, too.
Yeah those STOOPID Elections. Why they're just dumb. If only they were SMART....
Newsflash - they aren't "Stupid" they're dishonest. And they want to win by any means neccessary.
The left cheat lie and harm
Counting votes in Milwaukee? There is an app for that.
Just a coincidence they're called "thumb drives".
Votes on thumb drives.
I wonder if Kornacki would be willing to be interviewed about this.
Racine, Milwaukee. So they're divvying up the blame.

And notice how establishment republicans like Walker just cuck out and go along with it.
Is this what Democrats mean when they say "without evidence"? I mean it's missing stuff, right? So that means nothing happened.
"Milwaukee County executive David Crowley wasn't supposed to win Tuesday night. Every poll tracked by RealClearPolitics over the past two months showed DSA candidate Francesca Hong cruising to victory in the Wisconsin Democrat gubernatorial primary by double digits. PPP had her up 18 points. Marquette had her up 22. Instead, Crowley, the establishment’s preferred candidate, walked away with the nomination."
"Now Hong, who was supposed to coast to victory, barely lost on a night when the state's own election infrastructure collapsed in front of everyone watching."
enter the cult D-bots - "Nothing to see here!"
Everyone knows that there were maybe 100,000 people who actually might have voted for Crowley. 200000 at most. They manufactured thousands of votes in this primary.
There were 250000+ more democrat votes in this primary than any other democrat primary in Wisconsin in history.
2018 ~1.03 Million (~23.0% Voting Age Turnout) Highly competitive Democratic primary (~536,000 votes) won by Tony Evers. Incumbent GOP Gov. Scott Walker easily won his primary (~455,000 votes).
026 ~1.28 Million (Gubernatorial Primary votes) Highly competitive Democratic primary (~788k votes) and a non-competitive GOP primary (~488k votes).
Everything about our election system is a fraud.
"It's always Milwaukee. Why is that?'
In 2011 Supreme Court race Waukesha County came up with 14,000 late votes they 'forgot to enter' swinging the race for the Republican backed candidate.
Conspiracies on all sides, if you wear a tinfoil hat.
I'd call Waukesha "Milwaukee". Racine, Milwaukee, Waukesha. It's never Adams County.
" 14,000 late votes they 'forgot to enter'"
Maybe someone was trying to cheat and failed when the missing votes were discovered, unless you believe they really were just "forgot". The winner can sometimes be the rightful winner when late votes are counted.
“While we conservatives are violently debating the meaning of the words "common good" and saying we won't vote because John Thune is a RINO, Democrats (i) have enshrined abortion up to birth, (ii) want to abolish the police, prison and national borders, (iii) have embraced literal Communism and (iv) think they can bring jihadists into their fold without it blowing up (literally) in their faces.
It's fine for us on the Right to debate the finer points of conservatism. But at the end of the day the only actual defense we have against the sheer paganistic evil of the Democrats is the Republican Party, weak though it may be.
We need to keep working hard to support our conservative beliefs inside the only party that can actually accomplish anything, so disagreement at this point is fine, necessary and productive.
But when the GOP candidates get chosen, we need to rally behind them even though they don't support 100% of what we want, because the sole alternative is a Communist pagan death cult determined to burn down our nation.
That's the choice:
1. Holding your nose to vote for someone who gives you only 75% of what you want.
-or-
2. Being consumed by a Communist pagan death cult determined to burn down our nation.
There is no third choice. It does not exist. This is not the logical error of a false dichotomy.
No, I am simply stating a stark and painful reality.”

No.
None of this would be a problem if John Thune passed the SAVE act.
But John Thune wont pass the SAVE act because he is a fucking traitor who is likely elected in primaries as fraudulent as this one.
Well now it's official: Earlier it was reported Hong got a talking-to and was paid off not to contest yesterday's election results, now Crowley may have won but the UBS voting records are gone, so who knows. Evers? Well after claiming he wouldn't get involved with the primary, here we are today. Evers, that -compromised weasel, left holding the bag
I suppose Thune will give us 75% of what we want. The issue is he won't allow us to have what we need.
"now Crowley may have won but the UBS voting records are gone, so who knows."
C'est what?
Thune has gotta go, but that asshole shouldn’t be a reason to sit on your hands at home. That’s an exercise for suicidal simpletons, IMHO.
Apparently, the only election without voter fraud was the 2020 Presidential election.
Most secure election ever!
The MSM told me so.
Further proof that elections are just smoke and mirrors.
Vote with your feet. Vote with your wallet. Fuck these people.
Polling is useless in Wisconsin because of voting rules that permit interparty voting, Then there are the out-of=state student votes recorded.
We need the SAVE Act, but it's not enough. For example, it won't catch the aliens already registered to vote. It also won't stop Skid Row ballot harvesting and manufactured ballot dumps. We need Trump's USPS executive order to monitor mail-in ballots and check the names against citizenship records.
Do even Democrats pretend that this is ok and fine and not fraud?
‘fly knows useless. He lives it 24x7…
"Do even Democrats pretend that this is ok and fine and not fraud?"
They're doing this to their own voters. On the plus side for those voters, they understand the same sort of stuff will be in play for the general election.
Not Illinois Resident said... "…now Crowley may have won but the UBS voting records are gone, so who knows."
Does anybody know what he's talking about?
It was 5 of 9 USB memory sticks with absentee votes / data. 55% of Milwaukee's absentee data. WOW.
Yes, but Not Illinois Resident seems to suggest that the data is now "gone". That's different than what happened last night, in which the reporting was delayed. Is this a new development? Is he just talking through his hat?
so? are they just Absolutely Incompetent? or Totally Corrupt?
i Guess; i should Embrace The POWER, of The Word AND
Paper ballots are not the answer. They have been tampered with, lost, found, damaged and destroyed for centuries. Franklin Roosevelt won his 1928 election for governor trough fraud, Lyndon Johnson his 1848 senatorial election through ballots miraculously found in south Texas and John Kennedy won the presidency by fraud in Chicago and Texas. We need to rethink the whole election process with an emphasis on security, verifiability, auditability.
Democrats know Hong would have lost to Tom Tiffany in November. Crowley has a better chance of winning. That's motivation for fraud, and rigging the primary. And, Democrats can't bitch about fraud and rigged primary elections. They've already supported absentee voter fraud in general elections. And they swallowed Hillary over Bernie, Biden over everone with the pre super Tuesday dropout, and Kamala, nominated with ZERO VOTES. And they are united by, TDS, Fauci, and the clot shot.
Democrats will accept the Milwaukee absentee fraud. They HAVE TO. The're vested in all the lies.
You have to admire the devotion.
We have banking, retail, tax, motor vehicle registration, etc. systems that can trace every transaction in real time with nearly 100% accuracy. If we didn't our commerce system would collapse into chaos.
And somehow we can't do anything rational to audit our elections. Really? Does anyone believe that? (Trump's election mail ID system may break the dam on this).
Paper ballots are not the answer, not in isolation. The example of Lyndon Johnson only evokes the corrupt nature of South Texas under George Parr, the Duke of Duval County. Paper ballots do provide an indelible record though, when coupled with effective election security.
The process is well understood and competently structured in other, less developed countries than the USA, where election compliance is not a scandal. It's a shameful condition that can only exist when a powerful political party wills it so.

The combination of encryption and watermarks would make undetectable tampering absolutely impossible.
The point though is that the will has to be there to have fair honest transparent elections.
We know what type of person is not interested in that.
Unexpectedly 5000 ballots for Crowley,(BAM!), suddenly appeared at the last, TA_DA), moment and saved the day for Crowley and the moderate,(Sad Puppy Eyes), Democrats.
