ELECTION SUMMARY REPORT Chippewa County, WI General Election - Official Results
Harris/Walz: 14,573
Trump/Vance: 23,399
- chippewa falls/county is full of maga crazies.
  eau claire county, the main part of the 'metro' area up there and second-largest in wi-3, is significantly larger (105k vs 66k) and hasn't gone republican for president in forty years.
  wi-3's largest county, la crosse, matches that 10 straight elections going democrat.
- Minus the 38% of voters who were against it.
  
  that's only true if all eligible voters voted. not voting is voting. so the actual percentage of voters who were against it is likely lower.
- why is “Voted" capitalized? being the only capitalized word and the leftmost it almost looks like it should be read from bottom to top. weird choice.
And the Leopards dance the dance electric
why would they? "i have your votes, i dont need you anymore"- trump and the rest of the gop.
Ha ha
This Wisconsin?
- Yep. Seems like a Leopard Eating Face moment to me.
  In the last two presidential elections, farmers voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump
Sure, leopards eating faces and all that, only these people lack that kind of self awareness. As the leopard is eating their face, they're sitting there telling themselves that this is simply an honest mistake by an administration that's trying to do the right thing and would never hurt them on purpose.
Oh I'm quite confident that they and their monied backers are very interested in the plight of the farmers. When those farmers get knocked out of the market, the big agri corps can buy farms for pennies on the dollar.
