Even if Democrats are victorious and take control of the chamber, however, they will be unable to roll back the legislation already passed by Gov. Scott Walker (R) and the state Assembly, which remains under Republican control

Of course not. The trunks full of “forgotten” or “misplaced” ballots have not been counted yet. Almost forgot, the dead are having a hard time getting to the polls but trust me their votes will be counted before the night is through. And we all know the dead only vote Democratic.

Haven’t been able to find much info from our side. Not a good sign, imho.

Democrat twitter hashtags are #wirecall, and #wiunion. And they have been buzzing all day long.

What district is Mr. Fraud running in?

He's not running, but he frequently pulls the lever in most races in which Democrats are.

That is good news. I thought Wisconsin was one of those register and vote the same day, no ID required states. You really bolstered my spirits with that info. Thank you.

Depends where the turnout is, but a heavy turnout helped Judge Prossner.

NRO has speculated that only Kapanke (sp) is the race the GOP will lose.

“What district is Mr. Fraud running in?”

ALL OF THEM.
Democrats have THOUSANDS of Out-of-state “Activists” in, and several thousand more Union members bussed in for this, in a state with Same-Day Registration Motor Voter.

The voter ID law doesn’t kick in until Nov. 2012. They’re just practicing, you can still vote in Wisconsin without an ID.

Good news is that there will be a lot more Republican turnout in the evening. We actually have jobs and work all day. Typically more Republicans here vote later. That’s what throws off a lot of exit polls because they leave in the afternoon.

“Voting female” is having a good time tweaking the socialist.
MacIver Institute has interesting ‘twits’.

Everyone keep praying. Pray that those who have tried and are trying every cheat and sneaky scheme to steal the election, are thwarted and that their plans come to nothing. All that money from outside groups, pray it’s been spent for nothing. All the time national liberal unions and democrat groups have spent working to steal away the voters’ vote in November 2010, that it fails miserably and that they are left gnashing their teeth.

Pray they are utterly defeated and exposed, and that anyone cuaght cheating is punished to the full extent of the law. Pray that the democrat campaigns that were illegally colluding with 3rd party groups are prosecuted and fined and hopefully jailed.

Keep praying hard. All night. I am.

LOL! This tweet quoting NYTimes pollster Nate Silver (538.com)

“Virtually anything — from a Democratic sweep to their picking up none or just one seat — is a plausible outcome.” - Nate Silver

Yeah, Kapanke seems to have the cards stacked against him. Nevertheless I sent him fifty bucks the other day.

It was until Gov. Walker and our current legislature decided that was BS and made it law.

Here’s a short prayer for WI and all the other states fighting the good fight...

Dear Lord,
The world is against you, we are not.
The world denies you, we depend upon you.
Hold us in your loving arms and cast your vote, for that is the only one that counts.
Whatever the outcome, Thy will be done ... for it is good.
Amen.
