Democratic Rout in Wisconsin Looms as 'Clarion Call' for Trump

[yortsed snacilbuper]

The surprise defeat of a conservative justice in a statewide Wisconsin election — despite a show of support from President Trump — drove Republicans and Democrats back to their 2020 electoral playbooks on Tuesday, as both parties examined whether a surge of enthusiasm and on-the-ground organization among Democrats could help them capture that critical battleground state in November.

Leaders of both parties said that the victory, by an overwhelming margin of more than 120,000 votes, could provide a road map for Democrats trying to beat Mr. Trump in November in Wisconsin (which he carried by 22,748 votes in 2016) and other states where he narrowly prevailed. Democrats did have an advantage, though: A presidential primary was on the ballot, which probably raised turnout.

1. In the same story

Jim Kurz, the Democratic Party chairman in Rusk County in the state’s rural, wooded northwest, said the state party had dispatched a paid organizer to help with get-out-the-vote efforts in the heavily Republican area.

“First time we’ve had that kind of help,” Mr. Kurz said.

See, the rural areas have been ignored by the Democratic power structure.

While Dems didn't win those ruby red areas they cut into the margin big time. They also did well in some of the less red or purple areas and the Milwaukee vote was massive.

5. And 95% plus of polling locations were shut down in Milwaukee

I work in IT, do a lot of remote implementations, have a client in what should be a very, very, conservative company in Wisconsin. Never ever ever ever talk politics but always try to loosen things up on conference calls. On the day of the election one of the clients workers, who is normally very subdued, went off on the cluster fuck of the election.

Decent people are pissed, those who still support tRump, not decent people.

8. Even so It Was Still an Impressive Win

It's not like the presidential primary was a competitive race.
