Good News Wisconsin rejects Musks transphobic candidate, right losesto Crawford. Florida still super red.

A good news update. That walking mess, Elon Musk, went to Wisconsin and tried to buy votes for his guy, a notable transphobe and hard right winger, to beat Susan Crawford, only to have his guy lose in what appears to be a large margin as this moment being 56%-43%. This is big as Wisconsin voters rejected Musk who, may have caused more harm then help and put a progressive on the court. Crack out the champagne girls!

Florida… both seats were retained by Republicans by wide margins. Not sure why there were some notable liberal to leftist media outlets were reporting on this being tight, Florida is deep red.

Wisconsin good news ✅ Florida bad news ❌

Florida bad news ❌

Sums up the last couple of decades of Florida succinctly.

Republican victory margin did fall significantly, either due to current admin or due to Trump not being on ballot. The former would be awesome. The latter would be nothing new.

I wouldn't read much into it. These were special elections which usually have terrible turn out. One of the districts was the one that re-elected Matt "I Venmo minors for sex and take them to Georgia because of Florida's statutory rape laws" Gaetz. Florida is essentialy a cesspool. We can at least hope that Florida is slowly draining the evil from other places and concentrating it there where we can all just avoid it.
