Wisconsin and Florida Election Results—Updated

ELECTION RESULTS BELOW:

Two victories in the bag in Florida.

Voter ID has a big win in Wisconsin–called early with only a few percent of the votes counted because the margin was so overwhelming—even for a last moment fraudulent ballot dump.

The Supreme Court race has been called for the bad guy, Susan Crawford. This is a significant loss and will be the election that spawns a thousand think pieces.

This from hotair.com.

People who have navigated the process for decades, will matter-of-factly say that Republicans will lose most races in contested areas unless they have a buffer of 3-4% in vote totals.

Why? The Left cheats. “Too big to rig” is not just a slogan—it is the strategy of every Republican running for office in a competitive district.

Off-year, and especially non-November, elections are especially tough for Republicans. The majority are barely aware that an election is taking place, and the motivation to vote is much lower than in presidential years. This is true for both Leftists and Republicans, but Leftists have a huge built-in advantage despite this.

A huge fraction of their voters are public employees and teachers’ union members, and for them, all these elections are existential. Controlling the levers of government is not just nice for them but directly tied to their pay and power. Winning these off-year elections gives them enormous—outsized—influence.

Special elections are often seen as bellweathers for the next general election. Generally speaking, that notion is overblown, especially when the elections are this far out from the 2026 elections.

But they still matter. A lot.
