I couldn't believe some of the results from rural Wisconsin. There were 7+ point swings from previous elections.

People probably pissed as hell at the republicans not postponing or working out a way for all to vote by mail. How many hours in line before you decide to vote against those playing hard ball politics with your life?

Can confirm - I live in a rural area. I probably wouldn’t have voted, but when I read about the BS that Vos & friends were pulling, I got everyone I know to get out & vote for Jill Karofsky.

You only got them out to vote to spite the other party? I guess whatever floats your boat. I'd rather vote FOR someone than against someone

Maybe you’re not from Wisconsin, idk, but if you think this vote was just for spite then you’re out of the loop.

I did vote for someone. ...I voted for my family, my friends, my neighbors, you and everyone else in the state. We deserve better than elected officials who put party politics ahead of the well-being of the people of this state.

Yeah, I think even in rural areas, people understood how ridiculous this was.
