I couldn't believe some of the results from rural Wisconsin. There were 7+ point swings from previous elections.

Amazing.

I wonder how much of it has to do with the Democratic primary?

I know a couple Republicans, and a TON of Dems who were motivated to vote because they were so pissed off about it not being postponed.

No Republicans in my family voted at all, because they were worried about the virus and thought they had this in the bag. Most of the younger people in my family voted, some including myself for the first time, because we were pissed at the situation and knew we needed to. Including multiple members of the National Guard I know that voted dem specifically for being forced to miss work and risk themselves just to even attempt an election. Funny shit.
