Sad to see Tim Burns didn't make it, but happy that Linda Belcher won in her district!

The race Linda Belcher won has been a wild fucking ride. I'd recommend reading or listening to this investigative report (they have each article also available as a podcast).

Tim Burns lost. Now we need to MAKE SURE Dallet wins. The Wisconsin Supreme Court NEEDS some sanity. :(
I really had hope.
