As a result of Rachel Maddow's coverage of your election, and it's potential re-percussive effects which she pointed out, I was in Anxiety City for weeks before your election, myself.

Unless we can get Citizen's United reversed, I don't know what will happen in the future of your state, as well as in the future of the USA as a whole.

However, I must say that if your election was rigged, it had to have been rigged on a very high level and by means of which a large number of votes could have been changed or suppressed by one bold move (such as having all of the voting machines rigged, and not just a few). If that was the case, I feel very strongly that before long all of what they did will come to light. It is pretty hard to keep anything that big under wraps for a long time. And also, a large scale suppression of votes would have taken an effort on the part of more people, other than just Scott Walker and one or two of his henchmen. The more people who know about it, the less likely it is that no one will spill the beans either intentionally or inadvertently over a period of time. Just wait.
