I totally agree with what you said except I would change "we can't swallow this sandwich whole" to "we WON'T swallow this sandwich whole". I am a Wisconsinite, I have been all over the State in the past year and a half and this election did NOT reflect the will of the people. If this election is a true reflection of the will of the people then those in power should prove it to us but they can not. No matter what party affiliation a person has if you do not have a vote that counts you have nothing. Something is very, very wrong with an election when it is called so early with voters still waiting in line to vote. I might add that voters that are in line at 8pm are largely working class people. For years Democrats have been told when we lose that we didn't get out the vote. I can tell you not only did we get out the vote, we got out unregistered traditional non-voters this is why the clerk in Dane county was saying we could see 119% turnout. Wisconsin has same day registration we were registering new voters.

We in Wisconsin have not lost. The puppet Walker is still in office but his hands are tied and will soon be handcuffed. The election was touted as the election that would show if boots on the ground could beat overwhelming money. I believe that boots on the ground did beat the money. Unfortunately boots on the ground can't beat a corrupted election system. WAKE up America find out what you can do to insist that your elections are verifiable.

Some good information on electronic voting in WI and in general. Education of the population is the key.
