If Walker wins handily, then it shows just how much trouble this country is in. The Republican Party, which operates as if whites are a minority and is trying to restore the special rights of straight white Christian males, is far angrier, frightened, and better funded than the liberal movement. I sure hope I'm wrong, but I do worry that the massive turnout in Wisconsin is from the right.

(3,894 posts)has some serious fraud involved in it, as we all have suspected about many elections in the past decade. So it means the money wins out because money manages to get the machines hacked the election officials bribed and/or the burden on the Democratic voters so onerous as to become nearly impossible.
We already know for a fact,iirc, that they are robocalling telling recall signers that they vote is already counted when it isn't.

(2,307 posts)The areas only two counties (or what ever they call them) are over 50% counted, and most that are turning in results are those areas which it was a given they would go with walker. The ones which will decide haven't turned in results yet or just a little bit. It will take some time. I am not sure if we will know today at all. If it is too close, especially if a county goes in the wrong direction it will be recounted.

(205 posts)And the massive protests we saw in Wisconsin was all a figment of our imagination?
Don't believe the manufactured consent.
They could easily use the central tabulator to flip the vote count, where is Karl Rove?
