What happened during the Wisconsin elections?
And I'm getting some reactions pouring in, including Digowski 21 saying Vince is in the T-shirt size medium. Thank you for that election analysis. Oh, it's Diego. I should have said that. Diego, Diosky. I don't even know. Anyway, thank you for that. So what is going on in Wisconsin? Wisconsin voted for voter ID. So that's one good thing, said Armageddon. That's right.
Why did Wisconsin voters support voter ID?
So let's just start with some of the good news here. In Wisconsin, the voters in that state voted overwhelmingly yesterday to say, yes, we love voter ID. We love it so much. We want it enshrined in the state constitution. Now, this is an important thing because Wisconsin already had voter ID as a part of its law. But the challenge in Wisconsin is that the lefty Supreme Court there, which has been in power and is now retaining power, more on that in a moment, has been threatening to unseat voter ID, to make it more vulnerable to voter fraud in the state. The voters there saying, we don't want it to be more vulnerable to voter fraud. And so they've enshrined it in the state constitution. They've added one further barrier to that radical Supreme Court, tearing up election integrity in the state. That is a massive, massive win. And we should acknowledge that. We should take it for what it is. simultaneously in Florida, those two Republican seats in Congress, well, they're still Republican. So they're not pickups, they're retentions.
But in both of those cases, the Republican candidates winning in those special elections in Florida to replace both Matt Gaetz and Mike Waltz. So again, I'll take it. Those are victories. I'm happy to have them. But the Wisconsin Supreme Court race yesterday didn't go our way. It didn't. Brad Schimel lost to Susan Crawford, and it wasn't a close race. This wasn't like a narrow little race. It was a 10-point loss. Susan Crawford ending as of this morning with 55% of the vote to Brad Schimel's 45% of the vote. It's not close. It's not close. So what happened here? Well, let's unwind the election a little bit. For one, let's look at voter turnout.
