19. Actually, the place to watch is Milwaukee City, where the election was lost

while Waukesha County and Kathy Nickolaus played the perfect DISTRACTION role better than Hollywood could have produced it!

Hopefully, the Wisconsin Dems learned their lesson from the Supreme Court special election.
That, of course, is one of two possible lessons:

1.) Don't let them cheat and steal votes, or
2.) Get out the vote in the City of Milwaukee.

Some will remember the Milwaukee Anomaly, a huge red shift in the very bluest part of the state while the rest of WI shifted blue.
Did the blue voters stay home only in Milwaukee, or did someone rig the election in Democrat-rich Milwaukee?
Meanwhile, in Waukesha County, the vote results were normal with nothing anomalous except the screw-ups in reporting the fully-expected results.

If they want to win this one, Milwaukee is where they have to focus either a powerful get-out-the-vote effort or a high level of scrutiny. I recommend BOTH!
