After Polls Predicted a 97% Chance of a Double-Digit Victory for Francesca Hong, Missing USB Drives and Late Ballot Shenanigans Hand the Establishment Candidate the "Win"

Did they steal it? I don't know, but the socialists have got to be wondering that.

And I encourage that speculation!

OSZ
@OpenSourceZone
Last 5 Wisconsin Governor Democratic Primary Polls
State Navigate: 🔵 Hong +22
Public Policy Polling: 🔵 Hong +18
Marquette University: 🔵 Hong +25
State Navigate: 🔵 Hong +29
Public Policy Polling: 🔵 Hong +20
Results (88% Reporting): 🟡Crowley +0.5

The also leftwing candidate, Crowley, actually abandoned the race but re-entered it after Establishment types insisted he get back in to stop Hong. He wound up "winning" by around 3000 votes out of more than half a million.

I keep clicking on articles to see if there's an update showing that Hong won.

Alas, it seems we've lost this one.

Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley narrowly upset Democratic socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsin's Democratic gubernatorial primary Tuesday night, despite polls showing Hong in front by double-digits in the final stretch before polling day.
Crowley's campaign said the 37-year-old state legislator and member of the Democratic Socialists of America called Crowley early Wednesday to concede the race. Hong trailed her rival by more than 3,200 votes out of more than 787,000 ballots cast as of 6 a.m. ET., a margin of 0.41 percentage points.
Under Wisconsin law, Hong could have requested a recount since she trailed by under one percentage point, but would have had to pay for it since her deficit was greater than 0.25 percentage points. State law does not provide for automatic recounts in close races.

She chose not to. I think, in the end, she wanted to lose the primary, because that allows her to continue on as an agitator and podcast goon. Had she won the primary and then been blown out in the general, she'd be excluded by the whole rotten Democrat Party, including the socialists, who need to pretend they're #Winning.

Crowley, 40, was the late choice of Wisconsin's Democratic establishment after Lt. Gov Sara Rodriguez and her predecessor Mandela Barnes dropped out of the race in recent weeks. Crowley had initially dropped out and endorsed Rodriguez last month, but re-entered the race in an effort to stop Hong after Barnes quit.
...
Crowley, who will face GOP Rep. Tom Tiffany in the November general election, would be the Badger State's first ever black governor.

Hong immediately endorsed the guy who cheated to beat her because she has a Coward's Heart.

But that doesn't stop us from crying #RiggedElection on her behalf.

For Hong, it may be the best of all possible worlds. She'll still get $$ shoveled at her to speak out against "the establishment" (i.e., Republicans, never Dems) and she doesn't have to worry about trivial things like getting out the vote for her.

Clyburn always seems to make his rounds to specific states to which he has no real connection just before a hinge type election occurs. In 2020, Clyburn traveled to every single swing state before the General election. He did no campaigning. So, why? It's a good question.

Monday after work I made the mistake of trying to run in the Florida heat. I had been doing this but previous days were either cloudy or rainy or breezy which somewhat mitigates the heat. But Monday…. None of those things plus bright sun, no clouds. It was absolutely brutal; I’d planned to go 10K but turned around at 2 miles and felt like I was gonna die the last half mile…. I felt crappy the rest of the night. Heat is dangerous….

Wow. Two things stand out to me:

1. Flanagan can barely speak a coherent sentence. There's more "uhhs" and "ahhs" in that transcript than real words.

2. The Somalis in the video have noticeable utter contempt for her. Flanagan is sucking their dicks with fawning praise, and they're just standing there stonefaced like "will this stupid white bitch just shut the fuck up." Even when Flanagan calls "Nimka" out by name, Nimka barely acknowledges it.

It's embarrassing to prostrate yourself before 13th century savages who hate your guts.

183 The DSA will be happy to claim fraud today but no fraud in the next election that fraud benefits them. Could be a soon as tomorrow. It's what the clapping seals do.

Republicans: The is fraud in every election, sometimes it's not enough to change the outcome

Democrats: Fraud is the driver of certain designated elections and in others there is not a scintilla of cheating or wrongdoing because it's impossible.

Crowley stole it and Hong took a dive, but those polls ... come the fuck on. There's no way on this earth or any other that Hong was ever legitimately ahead by 29 points. Or anything close to it.

238 Hong needed to be punchier in her responses and tie any personal swipe back to policy relentlessly; it's how Mamdani and El Sayed won - progressives basically have to be perfect and relentlessly stay on message no matter the shenanigans the media pulls.

The Establishment doesn't have to be perfect, their nominees fail up all day

we've moved the goal posts so far that an establishment candidate with the full force behind them beating a progressive who got no major national endorsements from AOC or Bernie is an upset? That's a horrible sign for the establishment

those Hong +30 polls were largely while Crowley had dropped out of the race, meaning it was basically a single leftist candidate, a handful of moderates with no traction, and ~40% undecideds. Then Crowley reentered the race and solidified the center-left vote.

Can't wait to see the "far left" be the fall guys if the Dems lose this one. The centrist narrative will be that DSA commies stayed home like some disobedient children.

She was super close. This is a victory. Great work in WI, reds!

True, I've had good experiences with them though. If you want a big knife, a durable knife that comes sharp from the factory, its my go-to.

I like Spyderco a bit more for folders though.

Prior to a flight from Diego Garcia to Berbera, which was still Somalia at the time, not Somaliland, I reviewed the notes for the airport at which we'd land. It stated that I should first make a low pass over the runway to scare off any of the native animals that may be hanging out.

I guess they'd never heard of fences in Somalia.

Dems have no clue of the degree of election oversight, electronic and otherwise, about to be visited on state election processes like Wisconsin's and Colorado's this Fall.
