With 46% of the vote in, Susan Crawford leads with 57.2%
Per NYT, estimates are that Crawford has more remaining outstanding votes than Schimel
Nate Cohn writes: Susan Crawford, the Wisconsin Supreme Court candidate backed by the Democrats, has amassed a considerable early lead. Sheโs running well ahead of Kamala Harrisโs showing last November, and the remaining vote does not seem likely to favor her opponent.
You know, the fact that president dick fritter has 49% of the public *still* approving of how he's handling immigration (vs. 50% against) tells me that half of the u.s. public are a bunch of nazi motherfuckers. 49% in spite of people being disappeared by ICE thugs and deported for having political opinions that the government doesn't approve of.
Again, about half of this diarrhea soaked country consists of nazi assholes.
Not that I'm surprised.

i love these little garter snakes. they were all slithering around the forest floor next to (and across) the path i was on. since all the leaves and grass are still dry i could hear them before i could see them. they were just doing lots of exploring of their little world and looking at me with mild curiosity before moving on to look for nice spots to sit in the sun
Senators Galllego & Schiff are putting holds on Trump nominees.
This is SO FUCKING OVERDUE.
Should have been happening since day 1.
I'd say better late than never, but given the utter destruction so far, I fear it may be too late.
But they should still keep doing it.

โAny vehicle thatโs on the road that is at or near a congested level is imposing delay on other vehicles behind them. SUVs impose a greater delay on the vehicles behind them than do smaller cars.โ @Transportist (Sydney University)
"He believes that governments should consider charging SUV owners more in road pricing schemes, which are gaining new attention due to the long-term decline of gas tax revenues that have traditionally financed road construction and repairs."
2 April 1915 | French Jew, Albert Shouhmann, was born in Paris.
He was deported to #Auschwitz from Compiรจgne on 5 June 1942.

He perished in the camp on 16 February 1943.

White Nationalist Dracula Stephen Miller on Fox:
"They have the temerity to say that every single invader should get their own individual judicial trial before they are deported. One at a time, each one gets a one million-dollar trial in front of a communist judge to decide whether or not we can send them home. How about hell no"

Likely not all individual "people" but rather devices and accounts.
Still, that's huge. I know they are world wide, but that is more than the total population of the United States. Something like 3-4x the number of votes cast in the presidential election.
