Tuesday Dems flipped a GOP Wisconsin State Senate seat, a 27 point swing!

[KelleyKramer]

In Wisc SD10 the Dem trounced the Republican by 10 points, 54 to 44

Trump carried this district by 17 points

So in a little over a year the Dems have posted a 27 point gain!

The GOP held that seat for 17 years and if you really want to go apples to apples.. the Republican won that seat last Nov 2016 by a whopping 26 points.

So that would mean a 36 point shift in favor of the Dems!

The Dems had big wins in NJ, in VA the Dems had the biggest pick-up since the year 1899

The Dems posted a 30 point gain in Alabama and took a senate seat for the first time in a quarter century

It's becoming clear that no Republican is safe anywhere

And the Republicans know it, there has already been a record setting 30+ Republicans retire from the House

The Dems need to get out Howard Deans playbook and get moving on a 50 state strategy right now!

GOTV!

Democrats pulled off a political upset in the election for Wisconsin's 10th state Senate seat on Tuesday, capturing a district that Republicans have held since 2001 and that President Donald Trump won handily just 14 months ago.

Results reported Tuesday night by county clerks showed Democrat Patty Schachtner, of Somerset, defeating Republican Assemblyman Adam Jarchow, of Balsam Lake by a 55-44 percent margin.

Schachtner is the first Democrat to hold the 10th Senate seat since 2000.

Republican Sheila Harsdorf represented the district for 17 years until being appointed to lead the state Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection by Gov. Scott Walker.

Schachtner’s victory comes in a district that Harsdorf won by by 26 percentage points in 2016. Trump carried the 10th District by 17 percentage points in 2016.

It comes at a time when many were watching the district as a possible early indicator of a Democratic wave year.

The orange piece of garbage lied to the Mid West ...and without vote flipping, they will lose. People have figured it out.

7. You are spot on

they must have used paper ballots or the margin was too huge to flip.
Democrats need to push for paper ballots since Republicans own the voting machines.

Listen to what they say when asked about Russia, they say there is no proof that Russia hacked into any machines. How could they know for certain since not one machine the last election was independently tested?

8. Close elections are easy to steal...but a wave will be difficult for them.
