Kamala got more votes in Wisconsin than Biden did in 2020. She still lost the state.

The vice president got nearly 40,000 more votes in the state in 2024 than Joe Biden won here in 2020. The problem? Donald Trump improved on his 2020 total in Wisconsin by nearly 90,000 votes.

Wisconsin had the tightest margin in the 2024 presidential election of any state in the nation, as Trump won it by less than one percentage point.

      You suck, Tim. When you start crying about tariffs making everything crazy expensive and your medical coverage being taken away, remember you did this.

    I started hearing about “bullet voters” [Folks who only voted for Trump, leaving the rest of their ballot blank] .
    Has that happened in other elections? Because that doesn’t feel normal.
    Wouldn’t that skew the vote? In particular when we try to figure out the 2024 popularity of Harris relative to Biden or compare 2020 to 2024.
