about the Gov and Senate races. However, another factor is money. The Koch brothers have made Wisconsin their trial state. They poured so much money into Repub races the air lines were flooded with anti Feingold and anti Hillary ads especially close to election time. Same for the Governor race.

You are also correct about the Jill Stein and third party voters and this makes me see red.

The recall election was very close. The voters that killed it were those who did not believe in recalls..

And yes, the country is in serious trouble--bigly.
