10. As a 65 year WI resident I can confidently say that it is a racist state. Just google that question.

The simple truth is that with a 50/50 Senate, this was the wrong election here to have a Black man as our candidate. I think before the primary that the other candidates bowed out, thinking that a huge Black turnout in Milwaukee would elect Barnes. Close, but no cigar, so Johnson gets reelected again. So Wisconsin will elect and reelect an openly gay woman (Tammy Baldwin) to the Senate after Johnson had been elected, but not a Black man.
