Polls will open at 7:00 a.m. Central Daylight Time on Tuesday, August 9th in six Wisconsin Senate districts. Wisconsin Democrats and their supporters are attempting to do something that has never happened in American history - flip control of a state legislative body through recall elections.
Right on cue, dark clouds rolled into Wisconsin Monday afternoon. A cold front will bring some scattered showers overnight, but tomorrow is forecast to be...beautiful. Did I just hear a rumble of thunder, or was that my stomach?
The nation will be watching us tomorrow. Can the underdogs go into six Republican districts and win at least three elections? Can massive numbers of Democratic volunteers offset massive amounts of Koch brothers' cash? At last count something like 25 million dollars has been dumped on Wisconsin, most of it used to air filthy, negative, misleading television ads.
Make no mistake, this is a daunting task in front of us. We're nervous, but we're confident. One thing is certain. No matter what happens tomorrow, we will not be kicking ourselves for lack of effort, and we're still not done. There is still time to help.
Sign up to make GOTV phone calls from home tonight or tomorrow.
If you live in one of the recall districts, you must be a voter in this election. Please take a friend with you. You can still register at the polls if you are not yet registered.
I love Wisconsin. With all the local food I've been eating lately, I realized recently that I am made from Wisconsin. Tomorrow is about protecting and defending the Wisconsin soil, the Wisconsin waters, and the Wisconsin labor that puts food on our tables and makes us who we are. Badgers. Stubborn, angry, determined and devoted, we are Wisconsin Badgers and we will NOT. GIVE. UP.
Please wish us luck.
