What to expect on Election Night: Central Count Edition
While we don't know who will win or by how much, there are some things we can easily predict about Election Night. Since the conspiracy theorists love to talk about scary Milwaukee vote dumps late at night as evidence of

A friendly reminder that this is what it took to pressure @SpeakerVos to support post partum Medicaid extension.
His acolyte, who was just elected as Assembly minority leader looks on (@rep_august).
We will not be lectured by people who rigged the rules, the maps, and blocked pregnant woman from keeping healthcare.
A new day is coming. Let’s get after it.
If the results across extremely red areas, under complete Republican control, across thousands of counties and municipalities around the country, don't disprove the ridiculous fraud conspiracies in your mind then you're beyond lost.

Good for the state, good for the budget, and politically popular. A layup that Vos could have gotten credit for Republicans at any time but refused.

When the race is called for @MaryPeltola, the story will obviously be about THAT she won, but equally important will be HOW she won. This is a lovely map
Republicans lost in part because they are focused on stupid conspiracy theories and extreme social views instead of the economy Trump broke. Ron Johnson has to be replaced in 2028.
The reported conspiracy to confuse voters in the Alaska Senate election has fractured confidence in our election system.
I expect full compliance with my requests for records about this alleged scheme and applaud the @FBI and @TheJusticeDept for their prompt review of this matter.
The American people cannot let this story slip through the cracks and we will continue to pursue this investigation vigorously to get to the truth.

David Crowley receives high marks from those who know him best, regardless of the Milwaukee that lives in the imagination of suburban Republicans' imagination.
It’s kind of wild to think about how the Republican primary is going to unfold over the next two years when you consider the fact that Trump will still be in office ranting and raving. Will any Republican candidate even give a whisper of criticism of a deeply unpopular President?

Democrats continue to gain. They've gained 562 seats so far; my current estimate is that, once the remaining seats are called/recounted, they'll have a net gain of 573-585 state legislative seats nationwide. Definitely the largest seat-based net gain since 1974.

At some point we have to talk about what an awful candidate @TomTiffanyWI was from the very beginning. When they had to clear the field for him against a no-name County Exec (sorry, the Greatest @JoshSchoemann) it was pretty clear he didn’t have what it took, and running a
movement after the primary was essentially every undecided voter moving to Crowley.
He was an unbelievably bad investment for the three billionaires who funded his campaign. They got nothing for their tens of millions.
We’ll see if the GOP learns from this loss and nominates a
