Unfortunately, I bet nearly all of them will be gone tonight. The left is enraged and determined to do anything to destroy Republicans.

Well, it will restore my faith in the voters if every one of the Democrats lose.

I heard the turn out was huge in Darling’s district and “steady” in Olsen’s. I haven’t heard much about the other districts.

It won’t be for lack of effort OR organization. I’ve been getting three emails a day from Wisconsin, all informative, all seeking cash, three times successfully. Let’s hope they’ve remembered all the lessons learned from the last fight.

I can only confirm two things ...
1) There was no one trying to intimidate voters in our little neck of the woods.
2) Sen. Olsen got at least one vote.

Thanks for the live thread.

Most Polls have the GOP winning.

Yes but the Republican allowed it to happen and the theft then was enabled by a Soros stooge SOS of Minnesota.
