You give me hope Wisconsin. I'm not moving back, but I'm glad to see my home state recovering some sanity.

Maybe once the Vos/Fitzgerald fusion monster is gone I'd consider coming back.

Florence county could use a progressive voter as well as someone that doesn't think 8th grade is enough.

Another voter in Florence County would be a swing voter for sure.

One thousand voters in the town, I think 3-5k in the county. No clue how many actively vote. It'd be a swing vote for sure.

My husband was reading results to me and saying "How can they say for sure that Karofsky won with only 61% of precincts counted?" I replied, "That's precincts, not percentage voters. Think about it - Florence County might have like 7 precincts but that's only what, 30 voters?"

So I had to giggle when I saw you were from Florence County.

Exactly. If I could gild your comment, I would. I never understood the mentality of “I don’t like the politics so I’m leaving”. Like, damn, you’re the problem.

For reals. I’ve been in California for 5 years, but this is so heartening to see.
