Re your Wonka graphic - very nice!

Do you mind if I tweak it a little to say “MAINE”?

Our Gov. Paul LePAGE has done for ME very much what WALKER has done for WI - and I have no doubt that should Scott lose this, our Gov. will be next on the re call hit list.

Reading the stuff in this thread makes me feel like Walker is going to get screwed. If he is able to get screwed here, just wait until November...

Talked to voter in town of Merton. Heavily pro-Walker. He was voter 1370. When he voted at the same time in 2010 midterm, he was in the 500s

But will this matter if the Dem base plus union goons from who-knows-where all show up.

Something smells really bad with this. If Walker doesn’t win big, I’m crying big foul here.

“Reading the stuff in this thread makes me feel like Walker is going to get screwed. If he is able to get screwed here, just wait until November...”

He’s not.

It’s called BOREDOM. Many of the people here are siting on their buts looking for any offhand tweet, forum post, third-hand comment from a friend of a friend to “prove” that there is massive voter fraud taking place.

Some of the people here are stooping to just making stuff up so that they can have something to scream about, almost like they HOPE it happens.

I’ve yet to read a single one actually post about how they reported anything to the AG of the state.

Keep an eye out for out of state school buses or multi- passenger vans with “non profit / charitable” markings on them. They like to travel on OPD (Other People’s Dime).

Didn’t some of the WI “Fleebaggers” use school buses and government vehicles to make their escape into IL?

Leaves them with more $ / resources for lap dances, smoke, blow and martinis when they arrive at destination.

Moonbats have their priorities, you know....

Right on the State line.

To: pie_eater

as an avid listener of the Chris Plante show I offer this: I heard the conversation this morning between Chris and the guy on the bus. I recognized the callers voice as one who has called Chris before. Chris did a great job of gathering information from the caller in order to pass the information on to the authorities. Based on previous calls from this caller, I have no doubt about the truthfulness of his call. If you are reading this and not aware of the call, the caller had snuck onboard one of four buses in route from Detroit with Union members being bused to Wisconsin to vote for democrat candidates. Knowing Chris, I’m sure he received a lot more information off the air to pass on hopefully to the Wisconsin State police, and not the DOJ. I’ll bet Chris has another show on this later in the week, hopefully telling us where to find the video the caller said he was going to be taking once at the polls in Wisconsin!

Under Wisconsin law, only a candidate can request a recount of election results. If the difference in votes is less than 0.5 percent of the total votes cast, a recount would be free to the candidate requesting it. Otherwise, the candidate requesting the recount would have to pay for it. The amount would depend on the number of votes cast and the difference between the total votes cast between candidates.

If a recount is requested after Tuesday’s election, the process couldn’t even begin until the election results are certified in another two weeks, said Reid Magney, a spokesman for Wisconsin’s Government Accountability Board.

In the Supreme Court race recount last year, the recount of the April 5 ballots lasted more than a month, with the Wisconsin elections board finally certifying the results on May 23.

The prospect isn’t very enticing to fatigued voters and candidates who are hoping for resolution this week.

Well then maybe someone in the area can go get this thing called “evidence” and then report it to the AG?

Suspicion and a “tweet” is not proof.

Woo Hoo!

I voted early this morning, 8:30am.

My ballot number was 3 times higher (150) than it has been in the past at that time of day (around 50).

I estimate this turnout to be higher than a presidential election.

I vote in a rural area of Dane County, we vote out in the sticks, not even “in town”.

Being 150 at that time of morning is a “big effing deal” as VP BiteMe would say.

Bigger deal tonight, when I see the local news readers looking all glum that we on the right side won.

Champagne is chilling.

WISCONSIN FOR THE WIN!!!

For your viewing and listening pleasure, here is an awesome song and video created by a young conservative. It has a Star Wars theme and it was filmed at the State Capital building and other notable places (like the Wisconsin sign at the Illinois border).

It’s called “My Governor Is A Jedi”.

This video was first posted here on FR by “afraidfortherepublic”, our WI Ping List holder.

(at the end when he refers to Nov.15th, that is when the left was able to start the recall effort in 2011)

You mean the public-union Wisconsin State Police? Great, so now the buses get a police escort for their fraudulent mission.

Grew up in Twin Lakes, graduated from Wilmot HS. I know the area well.

When we return for a visit (from Rochelle, IL), we head North into WI on I-90 to hwy 43. Take that Northeast to hwy 50, then down thru Lake Geneva to the Pell Lake exit. Round about, but the 4 lane roads make it quicker.

Mistake. No exit polls till after polls close

You may be right.

But the headline on Drudgereport may indicate the Democrats know they are going to lose and want to blame it on Republican dirty tricks ("we were told we did not have to vote...")

From reports, people in Wisconsin on both sides are fed up with the outsiders involved in this election. Unions from all over the country. Tea Party on the Republican side.

Some claim it has poisoned Wisconsin politics. But perhaps it will may Wisconsin voters stronger and more determined in the future.

People in this country needs to care about elections and start helping to get good candidates to vote for...

Saw that you were #70 at about the same voting time as me, and I was #150 in my podunk rural polling place!

I could not believe that I was 150 at 8:30 in the morning.Usually I’d be number 30-60 at that time.

I hope that the pro Walker spy on board the union bus does not get “made” - or he’ll likely wind up as a greasy spot along the side of the interstate somewhere... if they ever find his remains.

“Detroit”, huh?

While I am hopeful, the sheer weight of the Democrat/Union Voter fraud is massive.

A collection of garbage, inner city gangstas, druggies & thugs. Typical 0dumb0’s & Holder’s people. The collective IQ of these 9 plantation demoRAT inner city creeps that are shown in the picture, is somewhere around 60 or so. That may be pushing the upper limit as well.

I certainly hope that shrewd Republican election board folks will take a lesson from the "Brookfield strategy" last year in the David Prosser retention vote. They need to report "preliminary" results until the time to certify, to keep the Demofraudsters in the dark regarding how many votes need to be manufactured to "win."

I am convinced, that without this undercount reported to the media in Brookfield last year, that Prosser would have lost.

Also just read FReeper STD’s account of being roughed up by union thugs at a polling place. While I can imagine the idiots from a union pulling something as gutless as voter fraud and intimidation, I would like to see some more evidence.

Does anyone know FReeper STD?

The beauty of withholding was that, it was merely a courtesy for the press. There is no requirements to “officially” report.

I’m hoping that all “strictly red” precincts do this.

Yep, Just like the son of Obama, Teenage, Thugs, Gangstas, Racists, Trayvon Martin!!! They are all Obama’s sons waiting for their share of the “free” Obama stash!!! What a disgrace these people are. When I think of all the great Black Americans that served in our military through all of our wars, some giving their very lives, and the Tuskegee Airmen (Black Hero Pilots of WWII), it breaks my heart that Obama & Barrett produce thugs and useless human beings such as these dirt bags!!! America, Wisconsin, what have you come to? Vote against Barrett and Obama, and save these very thugs from themselves and their failures to come. VOTE FOR SCOTT WALKER, ETC. like right now!!!
