PS - if the wingnuts want to know what kind of hornets nest their union-busting actions have stirred up, consider the following:
In Prossers LAST election, he garnered 99.54% of the 550,000 votes cast. Last time he had 99.54% of the vote - in other words NEARLY EVERY SINGLE VOTE (all but roughly 2,500 of HALF A MILLION PLUS).
And what happened THIS time?
Even if a recount gives him the win, it's still a pretty powerful wake up call that someone who previously got virtually every single vote could even COME CLOSE to losing.
Clearly a LOT of folks are riled up.

That's fine. Then the people deserve what's coming to them. Especially those that will get laid off. Or perhaps, they can just yank Walker from office and put in a liberal and increase everyones taxes in order to keep Union at maximum strength.
And sorry but I dont see this win as impressive. They Unions have had the narrative and the media on their side from day one. The Unions are also very powerful, which again is a big problem. Unions should not be as powerful as they are. It clearly isnt good for the country or the tax payers. The big benefactors are Union Bosses and Democrat politicians.
The Dane County votes will be looked at closely. Apparently there's thousands of votes cast in Dane County that only voted for the Supreme Court Judge race despite the fact that there were two other very important elections on those ballots: the Madison mayoral and the Dane County board races.
Madison residents voting for a Supreme Court Judge but not for Mayor or County Board? Not likely.
Madison is where the University of Wisconsin is. It wouldn't surprise me if there were a lot of students who don't care about town politics, but do care about something this major.
There are allegations coming out that ballots were being destroyed in Ozaukee County. Could be nothing and probably is but we'll see.
There was no doubt going to be such allegations no matter WHO "won". In an election this close there pretty much always is - especially over the last few years (with the country so polarized). BOTH sides feel there is a lot at stake.

True. I wont be posting a link because I dont see it as a credible source. I think its going to be a interesting but tense situation in WI for a while.
Who pays you? Oh, and there is recount coming. Now, now...I realize when voting is this close Democrats usually win (cant imagine how) but let's let them sort this out first before you do your silly ignorant cheerleading.

So we're dealing with about 10,600 more votes being cast for the Supreme Court election than in the County Executive race. Now, of course the Supreme Court race was very contested, so many may have seen it as more important-- but over 10,000 in the city?
Not to mention the fact that last night there were 10,000 (exactly) votes given extra to Kloppenburg by Dane County before the number was retracted.
The ends justify the means for the democrats/left. Stealing elections, ripping up ballots and voter fraud is the MO.
I guess some "students" were recruited to help "count" the ballots. Anyone have ANY doubts what would happen to the Prosser ballots?
Most people were expecting a landslide for the liberal activist candidate, due to the hysteria, the money that poured in from the unions/Left and the bodies on the ground. To have basically a TIE is a humiliating defeat for the unions and the Left and demonstrates their "narrative" on the WI CB issue was and is hogwash. Meanwhile, other states are gung ho in their union busting activities...like OH.
What makes any of the Left assume even if she does win the CB bill would be overturned or even touched by the WI supreme court? The only question today of why the stay was enacted was because of the state's open meeting law. The GOP could put the bill up again, vote on it and see it become law.
If she wins, she doesn't take the seat until August.
