Earlier payments were for registering but this is for voting. A clear violation of the state’s election bribery law.

Wisconsin ultimately the closest of the 2024 battlegrounds, 3rd time in a row decided by less than a point. Highly effective Dem operation in the state kept their losses down amid nationwide swing. NH & MN surprisingly more competitive than so-called battlegrounds AZ & NV.

Thanks Ben. The tool is for all to use. Table of contents on the left expands to every county. mulawpoll.org/county-overvie… and municipalities at mulawpoll.org/municipalities… All the credit is due to John Johnson @jdjmke

Pro tip for folks preparing to monitor local returns on Election Night: the good folks at @mulawpoll created a tool that lets you instantly pull up election results by municipality going back to 2000. It's wildly helpful.

Exactly wrong.
In an op-ed for his @washingtonpost, Jeff Bezos says "declining to endorse presidential candidates is not enough to move us very far up the trust scale, but it’s a meaningful step in the right direction."
