Still In Wisconsin

The voter suppression tactics being used in this state are largely aimed at inner-city people of color-- these are the voters most affected by the voter ID stuff. That could have led to Clinton not performing quite as well as expected, as during this primary season POC have been her most reliable base.

Still, in past elections, the R's have been much, much better at getting ALL of their base to turn out and vote in primaries and off-year elections. I know the anti-Trump movement in the Milwaukee burbs was HUGE... I am sure that helped Bradley. I can't imagine anybody voter for Cruz and Kloppenberg.
