1. I'm on pins and needles today! WI, we need frequent updates!
Any news on the turnout?

The candidates on Ed's show last night said there were tons of yard signs for the democrats.

2. I don't know how to link (I'm a moronic technophobe),
but google *wisconsin exit polls recall* or some such, and you'll see an article about how GAB is BANNING EXIT POLLING OUTRIGHT. Fuck em fuck em fuck em. I foresee major election fraud and then Dems ending up at least one candidate shy of a Dem senate...:mad:

4. There is not going to be major election fraud here. Republicans are not omnipotent
so it's time to stop acting like they are. Of course they will try and cheat and do what they can, but these are just 6 recall elections and not the entire state. The scrutiny and observation will be intense with lots of people right there watching every move and keeping track of everything.

All of Wisconsin is not like Waukesha county. Here in La Crosse Jennifer Shilling is going to handily beat Kapanke and there will be no stolen election or election fraud here.

8. Oh, OK. I feel better now! Good for La Crosse!
However, considering all that has happened with robocalls, voter ID crappola, "misprinted" absentee voting info, etc.,etc.,etc., you cannot convince me that they are not going to try. Omniscience has very little to do with the above attempts at suppressing the vote.

I do have to note, however, that apparently the GAB and EDA worked out their differences and exit polling can continue (a related article at the bottom of the first article...)

9. That's what we said about the Supreme Court race.
Oh, look, four bags of ballots we "forgot" to count.
