Tammy Baldwin has won in Wisconsin

[Cyrano]

I'm not a conspiracy theorist and I have no way of knowing if the election results are true and proper.

What I can't grasp is how people can split their ballot and vote for Senator Tammy Baldwin and Donald Trump. It's beyond my comprehension.

[Delphinus]

1. Same thing

in North Carolina - the Democratic nominee was John Stein against MAGA Mark Robinson. Stein won well but MAGA Trump carried the state?

[moose65]

9. Makes no sense

Robinson is essentially the same as Trump - a loud mouthed narcissist. There’s only one difference that I can see- he’s black versus orange 🍊

[Ray Bruns]

15. Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. All the democrats elected in North Carolina were white

Except for the Secretary of education

[littlemissmartypants]

28. Makes plenty of sense. ...

North Carolina history says we do it all the time.

Ticket-Splitting is Part of Our DNA
North Carolina is home to a “rare political animal”: the split-ticket voter. Though the state’s electoral outcomes may seem head-scratching to some, it’s par for the course.

North Carolina’s propensity for ticket-splitting is so confounding that it recently inspired conspiracy theories.

One TikToker highlighted what he viewed as North Carolina’s suspicious voting irregularities in a video that’s been viewed 2.5 million times. “Are you really trying to tell me that 352,357 Democrats decided to vote for the Democratic candidate for the governor but not for the president? Yeah, I believe that,” he said sarcastically.

On X, a user with 1.3 million followers suggested authorities should launch an inquiry in N.C.: “As long as we don’t storm the Capitol, why can’t we DEMAND an investigation?”

Though it might be surprising—especially as the nation’s partisanship peaks—the truth is simple. Ticket-splitting may be unusual for other states, but it’s typical here. North Carolinians have a long history of voting for candidates from both parties in a single election.

2. GREAT!!!

[Lovie777]

3. Yay.....

[Norbert]

4. I wish we could say the same thing in Ohio

We are headed for disaster here.

[Emile]

5. Any political party who was using fake electors, is capable of

pulling off a stolen election four years later.

[malaise]

6. That's simple

7. It's simple.

American elections are popularity contests for apolitical voters; all they have to do is "love" the candidate. They don't understand that party does matter, since that's the organization that gets stuff done. This is why I like the parliamentary system better than the one we have.

8. CT Label is very good at stopping discussion.

Call me a moron or a kook, I don’t care which when it comes to the US Constitution. The facts are the people who tried to destroy our democracy now have, mysteriously as all get out, won election.

Anyone who fears being labeled a conspiracy theorist for wondering how was it possible for the same traitors who tried to seize power through insurrection and have now been rewarded for their treason at the ballot box aren’t crazy. They understand reality.

10. Was there really that much of a split?

I read somewhere that a lot of hardcore Trump disciples would vote for him and then leave the rest of their ballot blank.

They literally don’t give a shit about the rest of the candidates!

[Liberal In Texas]

11. That's some good news.

I'm not going to go into it, but I still think there is something fishy with this election.

[Polybius]

12. You're forgetting about the idiot Trump voter who voted for Trump, then walked out and didn't vote for anyone else

Democrats were much more likely to vote straight line Democrat.

[Fla Dem]

13. I can.

I believe they just could not vote for a woman and a black woman to boot for President.

They should just not have voted for president.

14. Tammy Baldwin is an out Lesbian

[Greybnk48]

17. Totally out. Everyone knows here and doesn't care. n/t

[mucifer]

18. That's why I think Harris won Wisconsin.

[DFW]

19. Same with Angie Craig in MN-2

She told me she has a great line when out in the redder farm country of her district. The farmers there sometimes tell her of the marital difficulties their job brings. She tells them she understands perfectly, since she is married to a woman, too. She says that line has helped break more ice than Minnesota has in the winter—and get her re-elected three times in a row now.

27. Tammy Baldwin complained for two years in

every county. Even the small rural counties saw her multiple times. She had support from the agricultural community. Harris did not have time to go beyond the larger communities.

[Greybnk48]

16. Roger Stone said that Wisconsin Republicans had rigged the past 5 elections in WI

after Walker "won" his recall (which we know he didn't). They rigged 2010 for sure (Teaparty) and put in the gerrymander.

[MineralMan]

20. I see some ads for Wisconsin races here in Minnesota

One of the notable things this year were Republican ads sarcastically pointing out that Tammy Baldwin has a "girlfriend." Repeated several times in the ad. "Tammy Baldwin and her girlfriend," The ad kept repeating that line. It was noxious, to say the least.

Despite that, she won. She's pretty popular in parts of Wisconsin, apparently.

[lees1975]

21. I think there are several places like that where votes were either not counted or counted wrong.

Nevada, Arizona, Michigan, perhaps even Pennsylvania where it appears someone calculated just the exact amount of Democratic votes to toss in order for the buffoon to win.

I'd like to see our party get more aggressive on recounts and audits. That's not claiming there was cheating, it's just making sure there wasn't.

22. the "duty to warn letter - to vp harris" author was on hartmann's show yesterday

about the abnormally high percentage of undervotes (votes only for trump) in the swing states:

24. Well, Good Morning!!

Glad to be back??? Bye again…and again and again!!!

[EYESORE 9001]

26. Glad to be part of the jury that handed down online capital punishment

They reanimate all too easily, though.

[shotten99]

25. These results are weird or off somehow

But on the other hand, it would have to be a wide ranging conspiracy. In this day and age, someone would become disgruntled and leak the details
