She did fairly well in the debates, In the second debate she called out Wanker for the projected 1.2 billion dollar shortfall in his budget. Wanker said there was no shortfall in the budget. A lie of course, his lips moved. It turns out there was a 1.8 billion dollar shortfall. And not a single media source has called him on his mistake/misdirection/outright lie yet.

I know we had some electronic voting machines in Wisconsin, I heard they were used in the rural areas (whatever that means). We have had votes disappear here in Wisconsin before (Waukesha county has problems; https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20110415/23002413918/wisconsin-county-that-found-lost-votes-apparently-has-major-voting-irre )

One last point this post. There was no effort to excite or engage minority voters. Both parties just assumed all minority votes would go to the Democratic Party. Wisconsin has a terrible reputation with minorities, We lead the nation in African American prison population; http://www.blackcommentator.com/146/146_cover_dixon_ten_worst.html. We have a wide gap in education between African American and European Americans; http://host.madison.com/news/local/education/local_schools/national-report-card-wisconsin-s-achievement-gap-worst-in-nation/article_8 .

We ran a third wayer against a teabagger.
