meimichanWell, election nights. More accurately, one down, eight to go, in terms of contested senate seats in WI.
Dave Hansen held onto his seat by a fairly large margin.
There were less GOP voters than there were signatures on Hansen's recall petitions.
Fraud was suspected at the time the petitions were filed for all the Democratic senators, as much as 30%, but the GAB didn't investigate.
I mean, yes, Hansen ended up having to run against VanderLeest because Nygren, the real candidate, didn't make it onto the ballot because he's fucking stupid and VanderLeest is a criminal which might've had voters sit at home. In the grand scheme of things this was an easy victory, but still...they couldn't turn out enough voters to at least match the recall petition signatures?
And as always, more bitching about the weather. Turn the fucking oven off out there already, damn it!
