How did Hovde lose but Trump win Wisconsin? Was it fraud? Nope.
Let's look at the GOP-majority Wood County. Trump got 25k votes. Hovde? 23,660
Hovde ran behind Trump - in GOP and Dem counties. That America First candidate that Hovde's blaming only got 481 votes in Wood.

New from GOP operative in Wisconsin: Top GOP officials say they were "blindsided" by Hovde's video and his refusal to concede, accusing the campaign of going "radio silent" in the week following the election. GOP officials were under the impression Hovde would concede today

NEW: GOP U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde is not conceding to Sen Tammy Baldwin, pointing to potential “voting irregularities” in Milwaukee and accusing Dems of running a “phony” third party candidate

Eric Hovde says "confidence in our elections is essential" after two minutes of hurling baseless accusations about Milwaukee's election results, including that there were more ballots than registered voters in some wards -- something I debunked below

Many people have reached out to me with concerns about the voting inconsistencies we experienced on Election Day. Here are my thoughts:

“As Herndon of "The Run-Up" said in that same episode about Wisconsin students, "These guys knew Trump offended women in their lives, and not only was that not a deal-breaker, that was the point."

RIP to these school name ideas:

Responding to a viral claim: No, Milwaukee’s Oak Creek suburb didn’t have more ballots than voters
This claim is being pushed by some conservatives, but it's based on flawed data. It also ignores that Eric Hovde had more votes in Oak Creek than Baldwin..

If you're worried democracy is broken, consider that 13 years ago WI Republicans tried to gerrymander a permanent hold on power. The people rose up. 2026 will be very interesting:
Democrats flip 14 legislative seats, affirming GOP gerrymander is dead wisconsinwatch.org/2024/11/wiscon…

"Wisconsin Republicans held on to the state Legislature in Tuesday’s election, but the flipping of 14 Senate and Assembly seats from red to blue provided the clearest evidence yet that the 2011 partisan gerrymander was real and is now dead." wisconsinwatch.org/2024/11/wiscon…

My job is to ask questions. It's not to wait for the Exactly Perfect time to ask questions.
The lawsuit over whether Wolfe is legally in her role is coming before the Wisconsin Supreme Court on Nov. 18, before the state's results will be certified. Timing doesn't always align!
Britt Cudaback@BrittCudaback
And this was a serious question from a reporter while the state’s election results haven’t been certified??? Meagan is a better person than I am for having even entertained it Come on, you guys

So much to process about the election results, and so much coverage to digest. But treat yourself to @BennetGoldstein's lovely dispatch from Westfield, WI, which is recovering from a local political fight that threatened to tear the tiny town apart. wisconsinwatch.org/2024/11/wiscon…

BREAKING: Milwaukee is going to recount every absentee ballot that had been counted because of this issue. They had already tabulated 30,000 ballots.
The count will go very late
Alexander Shur@AlexanderShur
🧵Just before 2 p.m., an election observer noticed a panel on tabulators in Milwaukee's central count weren't properly closed. The panel that wasn't closed contains tabulators' on/off switches. They were supposed to have been locked in the morning
