Yesterday came an unusual springtime election day, with special elections in Florida and Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s elections featured an off-year Supreme Court race and a Constitutional amendment requiring voter ID. Florida’s special elections, to fill vacancies in House Districts 1 and 6, returned Republicans by decisive margins. But the Wisconsin election results were mixed – leading some to suspect fraud, albeit an incomplete fraud campaign. The actual numbers do suggest that an investigation is in order. But the cause could be the usual Republican vulnerability in special elections.
Actual results of the special elections
Florida held special elections to replace Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-1st) and Mike Waltz (R-6th). Gaetz resigned abruptly after President Donald Trump nominated him to be Attorney General. (He had to withdraw his nomination, and is now a One America News Network anchor.) Mike Waltz, of course, is now the National Security Adviser to the President.
Jimmy Patronis, Chief Financial Officer for Florida, won in the First District, and Randy Fine won in the Sixth District. Both candidates faced Democratic opponents who outspent them – in fact Josh Weil outspent Randy Fine 9-1. Nevertheless each man won his seat with 57 percent of the vote.
The House of Representatives balance of power now moves to 220-213, with two more vacancies to fill. Both are in Democratic districts, after their respective incumbents died recently.
Congratulations Randy, a great WIN against a massive CASH AVALANCHE.
DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT.

Wisconsin, again, had mixed results. A Constitutional amendment making voter ID a Constitutional requirement in elections passed, 63 percent to 37 percent.
VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!

But liberal Judge Susan Crawford defeated her conservative opponent, Brad Schimel, 55 percent to 45 percent. The victory of Susan Crawford leaves the 4-3 conservative-equitarian balance unchanged. Crawford will replace Ann Walsh Bradley, an equitarian who declined to seek another term. (An equitarian is a trial judge who abuses his/her equity powers, or an appellate judge who assumes equity powers the court does not have.)
More numbers from the Wisconsin elections
Decision Desk has current total votes from the elections in Wisconsin. The two most important of these are the Supreme Court race and “Issue 1,” the voter ID public question.
Total votes, and proportions, in that race and public question, are:
State Supreme Court
Candidate | Vote | Percent |
Susan Crawford | 1,301,128 | 55% |
Brad Schimel | 1,063,244 | 45% |
Total | 2,364,372 | 0 |
Issue 1:
Answer | Vote | Percent |
Yes | 1,435,938 | 62.8% |
No | 852,286 | 37.3% |
Total | 2,288,224 | 0 |
Thus 76,148 fewer voters voted in the public-question election than in the Supreme Court race.
The county-by-county “carry map” reflects an urban-rural divide. Even so, “No” on the public question won only in Dane County (seated in Madison) and Milwaukee County. Crawford is a “Favorite Daughter” of Dane County, but won in many more counties than these two. In fact, in many counties, twice as many people voted in the Supreme Court race as in the public question. Likewise, how did Susan Crawford carry Brown County (seated in Green Bay), while Issue 1 also carried the night?
The Undervote Conundrum
These results reflect a significant undervote in the Wisconsin election. Furthermore, that undervote distributes itself across all counties. In election parlance, an undervote is a ballot, or lot of ballots, with votes in only some, not all, races. Typically the top of the ticket gets all the attention. Voters vote at the top and ignore the races or public questions further down.
That demonstrably happened in the Election of 2020. Either:
Democratic voters weren’t paying attention, especially in Florida where many Democrats lost their House seats, or:
Those engaged in “stuffing the ballot box” prepared undervoted ballots and neglected those House races. (Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., then Speaker of the House, must have been ready to strangle someone.)
Yesterday one of those two things happened again. But this time the error could not have been more egregious. Susan Crawford has made no secret of itching to assert her phantom equity powers and rule voter ID unconstitutional. But she will not have power to do that, because voters who did pay attention to Issue 1, voted Yes.
But undervoting alone cannot explain Crawford’s victory. After all, Yes received more votes than Crawford did, and No received the fewest votes of all. Did some voters actually vote for Crawford and vote Yes on Issue 1? That strains credulity.
Other election irregularities
In fact the Wisconsin elections were fraught with another irregularity. Precincts in “multiple counties,” including Milwaukee, ran out of ballots. That includes seven precincts in Milwaukee County alone. As an Officer of Election, your editor sees no excuse for that. Our registrar always supplies enough ballots to cover a hypothetical one hundred percent turnout in any election.
At University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, the Chairman of the English Department confronted several College Republicans members at their voter-information table. He shouted that they were too close to the on-campus polling place. They weren’t, and retorted that they were well over 100 feet away. That didn’t placate the chairman, who shouted, “The time for this is over” – and then overturned the table. Police cited that professor for disorderly conduct, and he posted $295 bond and must appear in court on May 7. State of Wisconsin v. Jose Felipe Alvergue, case no. 2025FO000479.
Nevertheless, Charlie Kirk, head of Turning Point USA, reminded his fellow conservatives of a stark reality:
We did a lot in Wisconsin, but we fell short. We must realize and appreciate that we are the LOW PROP party now. The party has been remade. Special elections and off-cycle elections will continue to be a problem without a change of strategy.
We are the party of welders, waiters, and plumbers. We are the party of people who work with their hands, who shower before and after work. Politics is an afterthought for many of our supporters. They have common sense and American values, but they are voters who must be CHASED.
Democrats have become the college indoctrinated, institutionalized, and government dependent HIGH PROP party. They live for politics. It is their religion.
You may hate Donald Trump, but he resurrected a dead GOP back to life. Voters who weren't on anyone's data rolls came out of the woodwork to vote for Donald Trump.
Our movement must begin to fully fund the infrastructure to match the Democrat machine. Our ideas are better. They're actually popular. But we need to match like for like. We need to out organize Democrats. We need to match their fundraising advantage.
Let Wisconsin be a wakeup call. Let it be a call to return to the frontlines. We won in November, but to save the Republican we must string together multiple victories and that starts in 2026.

Simple inattention and apathy is a much larger problem than fraud. Too many people vote Yes on a public question without reading it. Yesterday that helped those who care about election integrity. But many more who voted for Crawford, didn’t vote on Issue 1. Or if someone stuffed ballot boxes, they ignored the Issue that will now make their “trade” more difficult.
But at least 1.1 million fewer people voted in Wisconsin yesterday, than voted in 2024. That, perhaps, is the real problem.
