Musk poured a ton of money, time, and energy into this race

In particular, the race was seen as a test of Musk’s political sway, as his super PAC, America PAC, alone spent more than $12 million to support Schimel. He also traveled to Wisconsin the Sunday before the election, where he handed out $1 million checks to voters who had signed his petition against “activist judges.”

    as a wisconsinite, you’re welcome lol. i was very worried. Schimel was leading and i became despondent and stopped watching. very happy things turned around. however, the voter ID passed and that shit pisses me off.

      Voter ID is blatant voter suppression and I’m so disappointed that so many people just accept it with zero critical thought, when republicans have flat out admitted that it benefits them in elections

        yup, it’s frustrating as hell. it sounds like it makes sense though, so many people just accept it without thinking. there are far more voters who become suppressed because of voter ID laws than any voter ID law has prevented or stopped illegal voting. it’s ridiculous. i beg of liberals to just fucking do any research about it at all, please.
