111. Wisconsin jumps to mind, not because they are the most corrupt
Wed May 20, 2026, 03:49 PM
Wednesday

But because of the kloppenberg recount
Which was sloppy and left many questions

And because of how close it’s been for years, Hillary lost by 21,000, Biden won by 22,000, and last go around, he whose name shall not be spoken, won by about 32,000

The thing is that ne corner has a lot of voting machines with those rolls on the side that take the place of ballots to count so even if you got pictures of the “ballots” I am not sure people would believe it… which of course should mean it’s not good enough for our democracy but ya know how that goes
