I looked at the 25 most right-wing counties based on presidential election results from 2016-2024.
Crowley won EVERY SINGLE one of those counties and netted over 6,800 net votes compared to Hong (he only won the state by 3,200).
This seems to support the theory that Republicans crossed over to vote for Crowley, although I'm sure we'll get more data on that in the future too.
There seems to be some real dissatisfaction with Gwen Moore in Milwaukee for some reason. Last night, she bled 28% to a genetic counselor who spent $2,544 on her campaign.
@CTprogressive_@FrancescaHongWI Her campaign probably cannot afford a recount. Those cost a shit ton of money. Which she doesn’t have, because she didn’t accept blood money. 🙃 money buys elections and we live in hell 🙃
It’s so crazy… because David Crowley couldn’t even hide what a capitalist and executive he is if he tried… it’s always about money, capital gains, and revenue first and foremost for him 😫😫😫 guys I don’t want to be the data hub of the globe… I want to tax the ultra wealthy!
I'm not saying it's imperative that David Crowley needs to make this one of the main things he runs on, but it really would up the approval numbers for a lot of folks, especially in Madison and Milwaukee.
people are going to learn too late that francesca hong was the electable candidate. david crowley is going to need to run to the left on issues like the data center moratorium. this can easily go to the republicans if he continues down this path
Nothing to see here, just Jen Psaki and Lis Smith admitting that the Democratic establishment hand-picks party nominees and the free and open primary process is an illusion.
@kenklippenstein@MarkPocan@DavidCCrowley@SarahforWI@TomTiffanyWI Ken I hope all traffic lights are green for you, your bread is always perfectly toasted, and your pillow is always perfect sleeping temperature. You did more for Wisconsin this election cycle than most, and this Wisconsinite thanks you! 💕
david crowley i know you hate me but please don’t do this!!!!!!!!!! people fucking hate data centers. 76% of winconsin thinks the cost outweighs the benefits! even tom tiffany is lying about taking a hard stance against them!!!
it's funny that the richest and most powerful people on Earth are making it out to be a huge earth-shaking mandate victory and proof of strength to have needed the entire establishment and millions of dollars to eke out a win by .4% against a barely funded socialist candidate
I mean, yeah, they won - but this is not exactly the flex and the show of strength they think it is
Fran is a self proclaimed socialist who called out state sanctioned violence with a bullhorn, said Thanksgiving sucks, and proposed taxing the richest people in Wisconsin to pay for our schools.
Over 311 thousand Wisconsinites voted for that enthusiastically.
I love Wisconsin.
