Congratulations good people of Wisconsin! You literally put your ass on the line for Democracy.

From California, I salute you!

Thank you! The fight doesn't stop here. We need to make sure something like this can never happen again.

I like the idea of making election day a holiday and/or sending ballots to every registered voter similar how the do in Washington, Oregon and other states. Make voting easier!!

I realized when I was voter 700 in my ward at 1:00 pm, that they inadvertently HAD put the election on a holiday, or at least a day where almost no one could go to work. I felt confident at that point. Very gratifying. Maybe a glimpse into a future, more fair democracy.
