Milwaukee County gave hometown State Supreme Court candidate Louis Butler a 25,000 vote cushion, but only with a 58-42% split; Mike Gableman more than made that up in surrounding southeastern Wisconsin counties, records show.
Waukesha County alone gave Gableman a 21,000 vote margin, and a 67-33% division.
With Milwaukee County having substantially more than twice the population of Waukesha County, it means Democrats and liberals are doing a terrible job in Milwaukee County by comparison with Waukesha County in getting out and voting.
Though the totals were smaller in Washington County, the split there was still 70%-30%, Gableman.
Combine that with Gableman wins in many of the more rural counties out-state - - 2,000 votes here, 3,000 votes there - - and he overcame Butler's predictably gaudy Dane County percentage and vote total to prevail.

Jim... aren't you happy that an activist judge is out?
ReplyDeleteYou don't like activist legislators, so aren't we all better off that we have independent thinkers.
Gableman doesn't even have ties to Milwaukee suburbs, isn' that a good thing?
