City of Milwaukee Election Commission workers process absentee ballots Tuesday, April 7, 2020 in downtown Milwaukee, Wis. Despite federal health recommendations, thousands of Wisconsin voters waited hours in long lines outside overcrowded polling stations on Tuesday so they could participate in a presidential primary election that tested the limits of electoral politics in the midst of a pandemic.
Joe Biden also emerged victorious, as expected, in the state’s Democratic presidential primary. The absentee-ballot-fueled victory by liberal Supreme Court candidate Jill Karofsky was a huge win for Democrats. It reduced conservative control of the court to 4-3 and overcame obstacles to voting in large liberal, urban cities.
With so much riding on turnout, the Republican push to proceed with the election was viewed by Democrats as a way for them to suppress Democratic votes, particularly in Milwaukee. “As soon as I endorsed him, the Wisconsin Democrats said, ‘Oh, let’s move the election two months later,’” Trump said. “Now they talk about, ‘Oh, safety, safety.’”
Hey GOP:
Yes!!!🙌🙌🙌❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏
courageousgirl2 This is good news.
💙 Bravo, Wisconsin
Trump did well- 604,000 votes.
The article actually is why mail in ballots are not wise. The article states many people never got their ballots. Doesn’t that make you wonder if the ballots filled out were received? What if after the election a bunch of ballots turn up that went missing? Do they recount?
Congratulations to Wisconsin Supreme Court. Perhaps next time the Governor makes a decision, he will find some support.
Yesssss!!! 🙏 karofskywins
Well played, Wisconsin!
Love, love, love it. Suck it Trumple Skankskin.
realDonaldTrump GOP should be embarressed and get a glimpse at what is going to happen in November! Even with all your promoting of a Republican and Trump tweeting a storm for him, a Democrat won!
That’ll show the bastards.
Democrats always win when they have a week to count votes. Is anyone surprised?
I hope this is a sign of things to come for November!
Wisconsin Rocks! Thank You Wisconsin.
MatthewDalyWDC Well at least the assholes didn’t get rewarded for intentionally killing their constituents.
EVERY VOTER should be sent Absentee Ballots, just as they are sent the pre-election voter information books. Then, no matter WHAT the situation that may prevent anyone from going to the polls, THEY'LL STILL BE PREPARED to be able to cast their vote.
I’m proud of Wisconsin again. You saw the snake in Scott Walker, and you are becoming yourself again. Love, from your neighbor, Minnesota.
“What is this country coming to when the US Supreme Court can’t help Republicans win an election by cheating?” WisconsinElections Wisconsin omgwisconsin
I hope Bernie supporters have ABSORBED this victory. Elections have consequences.
zeynep Expect a Republican lawsuit?
zeynep Thank you, Wisconsin. The country is grateful.
TeamBarackObama So America wants to know why are the allegations of sexual assault by Joe Biden being ignored Didn’t Democrats say they believe all claims, or is that only if the other person is a Republican.?
'On Wisconsin!', my fellow cheeseheads! Can you taste the win in November?! When we do win, we need to relegate the GOP to the dustbin of history. God knows they deserve it.
And I thought the residents there were more intelligent. What a shame.
What about Milwaukee ? Where voter suppression was rampant! There was a mayoral race there which the DNC sold out the challenger State Senator Lena Taylor.
Freedom_Girl_14 they lose AND they are all going to Hell! Sweet!
Just 1 of many Republicans to get taken out.
Well Wisconsin is officially in trouble
Hoisted on their own petard.
Trump and the Governor placed all those voters in danger because Trump endorsed the Republican Judge so he thought it was a win. He should have learned with his other endorsements that the Vote Blue Train is coming and plowing through anything in the way.
Baby killers have won. !
And because of GOP election challenge law from 2016, they may not be able to challenge the results.
_Politics And all the gop judges voted by mail.
too bad the GOP will just say this clearly means there was no voter suppression
Wonderful news! Let's hope that this is a sign for the defeat of the Wisconsin GOP in offices across the state! GOPisEvil DonTheCon
Wisconsin Democrats came through and help Jill Karofsky win Wisconsin supreme court seat. Republicans and even the bias supreme court was trying to suppress yall and they FAILED!!!! BLUE WAVE!!
'Despite long lines at polling places in Milwaukee, which shrunk the number of places to vote from 180 to just five...' This will never cease to blow my mind. These bastards reduced polling places from 180 to FIVE. That shit is so blatantly voter suppression I'm just... wow
Wait a minute wait a minute I was told Republicans were suppressing votes. Democrats will be happy now voters put themselves at 'risk'.
Nice job GOP! 🙄🤡😉
BitchieBootie YES!!
🤦♂️
Way to go Wisconsin! I thank each and every one for your bravery and fight for what is right!!!
America is a democracy. Don’t get in our way! GOP realDonaldTrump USSupremeCourt DNC
Keep screwing with the sane portion of the American people, GOP. Keep doing it. Let’s see how well it keeps working out for you.

Republicans will be working overtime to develop more effective voter suppression tools. But sometimes the levees just can’t contain the river.
Shouldn’t Supreme Court Justice’s be independent and down the middle, just looking at the constitution...?
There's always next election, Bernie. You can make history by becoming America's first socialist President who honeymooned in Soviet Union Moscow.
Nice to see the “democratically elected” state assembly finally lose for a change. Can there yet be hope for this fallen world?
👀
Now I bet the republicans sue. After the GOP did everything possible to block delaying voting.
Wasnt biden running against himself in wisco? Great job, well done. Maybe someone should explain to Joe whats going on.
Hope2020 USA wisconsinsupremecourt

Kudos to those in Wisconsin who risked getting seriously ill or God forbid worse, for letting your voice be heard..
Karma. GOP's strategy backfired, spectacularly. Hopeful sign of things to come this November.
Great. Keep it up VoteBlueNoMatterWho
Yayyyy
Wondering if a GOP lawsuit will be filed this evening or will they wait until morning...
Well I would say this backfired on the right.
Hahahaha the GOP rapes collies.
