Yeah, Wisconsin going super red is essentially the end
Volunteers in a rural Nevada county where voting machine conspiracy theories led to an unprecedented hand-count of mail-in ballots came face-to-face with one messy reality of their plan Wednesday: It’s more time-consuming than anticipated.
No shit sherlock.
Two groups of five that The Associated Press observed Wednesday spent about three hours each counting 50 ballots. Mismatched tallies led to recounts, and occasionally more recounts. Several noted how arduous the process was, with one volunteer lamenting: “I can’t believe it’s two hours to get through 25” ballots.
Nye County interim clerk Mark Kampf emphasized throughout the day to “take it nice and slow.” In an interview, he declared the first day a success and said, “It was a process of learning here.”
As one person announced candidate names aloud, a verifier looked over her shoulder and three talliers marked sheets of paper. A print-out instruction sheet on a wall across from a video camera above their table urged them to “FOCUS, FOCUS” on each name that was read.One group observed by AP found during their first 30 minutes that they had mismatched numbers for eight candidates. A recount took nearly 40 minutes, and two of the recounts still had different outcomes.
I mean if people are worried about voting machines changing things release some open source voting machines or something, but we have machines to count things for a reason.

That SCOTUS decision to force Wisconsin to make their state maps even redder than they were is really coming through for them.
Any time!
This would be extra rich with the Senate map in 2024.
Yeah this is a huge indicator they’re never going to let Boomers suffer consequences. Inflation would be a pretty simple way to shrug and let their payouts in terms of actual cost of living be reduced. Instead they’re just like ah fuck it pay them more and let it run out sooner.
At least she (almost) thanked him for his service. So he’s got that going for him!

I was in that for the max, but PI may be dead by then so I pulled out.
I must have missed it. Why is PI dying?
I thought it had already died, gubmint said they couldn’t operate or something
What a mess. It’s doubly stupid because hand counting is so much slower AND so much less accurate.
Many people probably assume if you took your time and counted carefully you’d get a more accurate count, but it’s just not true.

The real truth comes through our hands. Like a Ouija board. A computer could never do that!
Wtf is PPIC. This seems so out of whack with all the other data coming out recently.

This is for California only, isn’t it?
Looks to be for California voters only.
EDIT: In California, dead ponies can vote.
Still seems pretty extreme for “competitive” districts. Makes one wonder about their definition
Wisconsin sucks. Any time you have a D gov and R supermajority that is seriously fucked up.
538 moves Walker to slight favorite for the first time in months.
GOP country club types always come home. And Trump activated a previously untapped base of the stupidest motherfuckers in the country. Gg USA

Bovada has Arizona (D) Senate at even money, that still has to be a bet right? They lined Arizona the same as GA
