Ten years ago, when Wisconsin lawmakers approved a bill to allow unlimited spending in state elections, only one Republican voted no.

The voters delivered a far more significant majority to Judge Crawford than they did  for Trump in the  November election. 55%  (compared to 49.6% that Trump had , and  Harris at 48.74%)

The loss cannot be spun away no matter how mmany insults the  toadies want to make in this thread.

A great result.  The beginning of the end for Musk, one would hope.  

 

Musk has already indicated he is leaving Doge within the next 30 days. So no.

What it does show is that Musk's disgusting attempt to buy votes alienated voters.

Wasn't Schimel anti-abortion? The more of these people Republicans put up, the more they'll lose. I see the voter ID law passed easily. So it was the anti-abortion stance that got him. 

 

I interpret it a different way. In a Marquette poll conducted in late February, most Wisconsin voters said they did not know enough about either Supreme Court candidate to have an opinion about them. About two out of five said they had no opinion of Schimel.

I think it was indeed a retreat by some former Trump supporters who now have buyer's remorse. Many people did not want to see  the state regress to the previous situation where the legislature and the Governor were constantly feuding and  some legislators forced their  extremist views on others.

And your point is? Think carefully,

If people are not enthused by the Republican candidate, they are not going to bother voting for that candidate. The voter turnout was typical of this type of election. Would you have said the same thing to excuse the Democrat loss when the Republican candidates won the election a few years ago? I don't think so.

 

The Republic margine were cut in half in the Florida special elections. This suggests a change of heart is underway. It need not be  large to have a significant impact.

  It's not a "change of heart".  It's a "you lied to us and now you're trying to screw us over for your benefit" underway.

The point is that you are not an American and do not understand how turnout varies during national, state, and local elections.

PS. If you look closely you can see Pete "OPSEC" Hegseth posting on Signal the latest top secret decisions wrt Iran. You can also see Tulsi Gabbard reading and then promptly forgetting it.

Soros did give 2 million as required by law

 

How much did George Soros donate to Susan Crawford's campaign?
Soros donated $2 million to the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, which then gave the money to Crawford's campaign. Per Wisconsin election law, large donations must first be given to the state parties, then transferred to the candidate.

MAGAs and Musk have their own unique and special take on trying to buy U.S. election outcomes, and they've been working hard it at:

 

As example from the OP:

 

"Musk even traveled to Wisconsin two days before the election to personally hand over $1 million checks to two voters"

 

Or before that:

 

Elon Musk spends $277 million to back Trump and Republican candidates

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/elon-musk-277-million-trump-republican-candidates-donations/

 

 

Musk keeps giving select voters $1 million checks. How is this legal?

April 1, 2025

 

"CNN  —  Neither state nor federal courts have stopped Elon Musk from handing out $1 million checks to voters, first in Pennsylvania during last year’s presidential campaign and now in Wisconsin, where Musk is backing a conservative candidate for the state Supreme Court.

...

How did we get here?

WOLF: This is the second straight election in which the world’s richest man and a campaign superdonor has handed out million-dollar checks essentially to random people. How can this possibly be legal?

GHOSH: The moment that we’re in is the logical and unfortunate result of the culture of how elections are financed in this country that was unleashed by the Supreme Court in the Citizens United decision."

 

https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/01/politics/elon-musk-million-dollar-checks-campaign-finance-what-matters/index.html

 

Or with Trump last year:

 

Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign, people in industry say

“This is a scandal” and “an indictment of the system” — but probably legal, one legal watchdog told POLITICO.

05/09/2024

...

The oil industry has a long list of policy actions it would want Trump to take, including dismantling parts of President Joe Biden’s green agenda and rolling back pollution regulations that threaten to crimp their profits. As POLITICO reported Wednesday, oil executives are also preparing some highly specific requests for Trump, including executive orders they hope he would sign if reelected.

That's a cop out.

How do you know what the voter turnout was?

Did you check the previous  court election?

You do not want to accept that the support for Trump is starting to erode, and so you  offer a feeble  excuse for the poor election outcome of the Republican candidate, despite the  greater spending by Republcians.

 

 And before you answer, you should look at the voter participation for this election and the last court election.

And before you even do that, you should reconsider dismissing people because of your own bias and assumptions. If you are such an expert, you would know that the official voter turnout is not yet available. I will help you out;

Wisconsin does not have a statewide system for reporting unofficial results on Election Night, and there is no central official website or feed where results are reported.  State law requires that counties post the unofficial election night numbers for each polling place.  The unofficial statewide and county results numbers that the public sees on Election Night and the days thereafter come from the news media, including the Associated Press, which collects them from the 72 county clerks’ websites.
