So.....Musk wasn't able to hack the WI Supreme Court election?

[Mountainguy]

I thought free and fair elections were gone?

1. IKR?? It turns out all he can do is pour money into ads and canvassers...

But whaddya know? People DONT have to follow bad advice...

[Ocelot II]

2. Couldn't buy it, either.

[Hugin]

17. They just don't understand what Pootie wants...

He’s no fan of Trump or MAGA. He wants us to die. Chaos is the means.

[ecstatic]

3. Their number one method was voter purging

and disenfranchisement of people of color and young people. All of their cheating becomes meaningless when (older) white people shift towards Democrats.

6. Good point,

all the more reason for Congressional Democrats to get out now and do town halls while the iron is hot.

[Jack Valentino]

9. Our loss in 2024 was clearly because too many people stayed home, we lost voters,

especially younger people---- we lost those because of "high prices", which were worldwide.

It's hard to craft a message on that issue against a liar who promised "lower prices on day one!"


Now that Trump-flation chicken is coming home to roost...
and everything he has done since taking office is making it worse for him.


I don't expect a "turnout problem" for Democrats in 2026
(see "2018 midterm election results" for guidance-- only a little bit worse for R's)

4. It turns out the only million that counted

Were the 1 million+ ppl who showed up to vote for Crawford

✌🏻

[gab13by13]

5. How do you know he didn't hack it?

Maybe Wisconsin voters flooded the system?

He's probably too busy gutting our country.

[Jack Valentino]

11. Voting machines nationwide are NOT connected to the internet---

thus by definition, "hacking" is impossible. End of story.

Getting tired of this non-story.... Inability to accept a loss makes us look like the 2020 magat base...

If we had actually WON the 2024 presidential election,
after dumping our incumbent president from the ticket, then
THAT would have been a very unusual result, judging by results from
about the last 150 years----

Given the attributes of the opposing candidates, it SHOULD have happened by simple logic,
but it did NOT--- which aligns with the rules about supporting your incumbent president--
and what usually happens when you do not...

7. It might not be so easy for him to do local elections.

But national-level elections that involve sending polling data over the internet might be easy for him and his allies.

[Mountainguy]

12. Election are conducted the same

Being a national election or a state level doesn't change anything.

[Intractable]

13. When there is a national election, the data results are transmitted across servers.

Hopefully, this will not involve Starlink, but that is what they will try to do.

There's no doubt that Trump plans to revamp elections.

[Mountainguy]

14. There is no difference

Presidential elections are handled exactly the same as statewide races because that's what they are. Precincts count votes and report them to the county which reports them to the SOS/state. Pretty easy to audit if the numbers recorded at the precinct level don't match what's reported to the SOS. Voting machines, tabulators, and the laptops where the results are kept are all air-gapped.

There is no such thing as a national election in the US. Elections are statewide or local.

8. Weird that.

Just because we lost in 2024 doesn't mean all is lost. Get up, fight again. Invest in growing the party in red states not just throwing money at high profile longshots. Have a message that resonates better.

[tritsofme]

10. Perhaps a wake up call for the election deniers? Democrats are rolling to victory in 26!

The only ones more shocked will be Republicans!

[onethatcares]

15. does that woman have to give back that check?

just wondrin'

[Hugin]

18. It's not a real check.

She can commiserate with that Ashley St Clair lady Skum promised to marry if only she’d be an incubator for nine months.

[elocs]

16. Free & fair elections are gone when you are not vigilant and become complacent.

It was a historic turnout here in Wisconsin for a spring election which overwhelmed any attempt to hack, steal, or buy it.
If Democrats and the Left had the same fire in the belly to win and would have turned out in historic numbers last November there would be no president Trump or interfering Musk now. If voters in Wisconsin in this election had the same over-confident attitude that Democrats had in November, Schimel would have won here yesterday.

There have been other articles info published about all of this I believe.
