Recently, Lyndsey Brunette announced a run for Wisconsin's state supreme court election in 2027. I decided to map her first election for Clark county district attorney in 2012. She managed to win by over 17 points while every other Democrat lost the county. #ElectionTwitter

@StatisticUrban @rowanfornow The maps used were made by Brian Olson and are posted to his website. Here is a link to the UT map: https://t.co/iAS9eyN4I2
I uploaded it to DRA (it unfortunately uses 2010 blocks so it has a small selection for partisan data): https://t.co/2mV0mgTYIL

@DillingerMelvin @Uncrewed Both Evers and Kaul won it in 2022.

@ORC1110 I know she's from Neilsville and 2 of the 5 precincts there were D+45 (plus there was a D+44.9 precinct), so it's definitely possible she lived in one of them.

Dem-aligned candidate Chris Taylor's landslide victory in the Wisconsin Supreme Court election last night drew comparison's to Barack Obama's famous landslide victory in the 2008 presidential election. This is what the swing between the two elections looks like by county.

@nikicaga To be fair, he was never really trying in the first place. He's a consistent underperformer for a reason.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@DanRShafer And it sounds like AP has called it too.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@DanRShafer VoteHub and DDHQ both called it.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@eding421 Not going to make predictions on Ozaukee off so few results, but the Chris Taylor is overperforming massively.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

I don't want to say it's over so early, but these are brutal results for Republicans.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@vanillaopinions Those are all good options, but I think Oshkosh deserves the title.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@michigeese Barnes only being at 10% with 61% name ID (roughly double that of Hong and Rodriguez) is pretty weak. I was expecting him to have large lead early on.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@LIEngProf @CTDemocrat8 It's not crazy in the slightest. Milwaukee's educated suburbs swung left, while the minorities in Milwaukee proper swung hard right.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@ZachTGR @michigeese At the moment I'd say he's the favorite. The primary isn't until April, so there's plenty of time of time for that to change.

@MassJumbo Iowa county and other Madison area rurals.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@MassJumbo For whatever reason people love posts that just list the margin of victory for municipalities, especially if it's a big shift. My most liked tweet is one of these for Wauwatosa.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@umichvoter So blue, in fact, that it's able to cancel out the votes Republicans get from WI-5.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@SuperiorElliot5 @jwiechers @nikicaga No, there's definitely a zero space joiner there. If you copy and paste what was written and then delete the characters one by one, you'll find that there's an invisible character you'll delete before you delete the @.

@MassJumbo It looks like the data for 2012 and 2008 was added since I last used DRA. Romney won one of the Harris districts in 2012.

[Wisconsin Forward @WI_Forward]

@MassJumbo This prompted me to check my Wisconsin ringmander on the 2024 data since that was apparently released. Looks like it failed to maintain its 8-0 streak and Harris carried 2 districts.
