Really good night for Dems. Rs passed the WI voter ID amendment, but it didn't - as they hoped - transform turnout for Schimel.
Ds hold WI court, hold WI superintendent of public instruction, flip a number of mayoral offices in IL. Rs hold FL House seats but margin down by half since 2024.

The 14-point wins show that those districts in Florida are lost to the collective MAGA brain damage.
And when republicans stop trying to ban college students from voting w/ various malevolent obstacles such as not allowing them to use id w/ their home state address or student ids
It won't change things at all here.
In places like Georgia where they can systematically target black voters, no.
And I think one reason is that the effects on turnout from modest voter ID bills are quite small. (Seen some persuasive studies about it.) Would-be voters who have trouble getting IDs are unlikely to vote already
Maybe the ongoing partisan valence flip of this issue will allow a compromise like that

High turnout clenched the outcome.
Money can’t beat the democracy drum!

If you don’t do the research you may not know what you are voting for or against.
Thats on purpose.
Valimont got 141k votes in 2024, and just got 72k today, losing to Patronis with 97k.
With 70% of the dem turnout from 2024 Valimont could have won. She got 50% instead.
And that is losing us elections.
So was it likely? no. Was it plausible? yes.
Everything you try and do from now until forever we will be there to destroy you.
Losing is all you are going to do from now until forever.
No mercy.
No forgiveness.
