2010 was such an awful year for that state and now 10 years later they are woke and going to purge their states of rethugs. Koch be damned.

That’s where my “I stand with Wisconsin” Shirt was brought!

Funny if the recall of walker happened I planned to take a mini vacation to Wisconsin from California. And don’t get me started on Russ Feingold, Paul Wellstone's political prodigy.

I admire them so much and am so upset that they had to go through so much, risking a horrible death, to vote when it didn’t have to be that way.

They should be SO proud of themselves. Even the Republicans, really—they risked their lives too, even though we would say they were misguided. They shouldn’t have had to risk their lives to vote, either.

My formerly GOP, now left leaning husband and I requested absentee ballots in early March, before the shit hit the fan. GOPers thought they could scare us away by making us risk our very lives. Now what kind of political party would do shit like that?

because we've had it pretty rough here in Wisconsin for quite a few years. We're still up against opponents who break the rules and suppress the vote, but tonight it's been made clear that a lot of us don't like what they're doing and that we're willing to organize and fight back.

Wisconsin boys were some of the most feared soldiers my mistaken ancestors faced in that war. They did not quit. They were willing to pay for freedom with their lives. Seems they still are.

Good to they are still schooling we southerners on how to get it done.

My respect to you.

Thank you.

We opted to vote absentee but made sure our ballots were sent in properly and in plenty of time. Proud of my state tonight!
