Todd Byars - thanks for the link.
As a Florida native, I'm amazed by stuff like this. You see, we don't really believe that our votes are counted. The results are all arranged in advance and we get to go "play" voter sometimes but it's all for show.
Remember 2000 ? I was one of those "chad" people. I saw the bus loads of agitators parking a few blocks away and carrying their "store-bought" signs and banners. Sure there were legitimate Bush people there. Sometimes dozens of them. But then the would swell by 200 or 350 and it took a lot or courage to stay there and face them. Listening to their strange accents (Ala,Ga -even north Florida !) was worth it though. We were practicing Democracy !
Anyway- Good for you Wisconsin. I'm glad to see so many of you show up. Best of luck, regardless of the outcome. Now reach out to each other and thanks for showing us...
This is what democracy looks like !

End of democracy in the US.
