It's now clear that the GOP effort to force voters to the polls in a pandemic backfired hugely.

Wisconsin Dems tell me the backlash was harsh. They saw lots of evidence that it fueled voter turnout, helping Karofsky pull off her big upset.

Two more points in this piece:

* @benwikler tells me Dems will keep pushing for all-mail balloting for this fall. If and when Rs oppose it again, they risk another big backlash.

* Karofsky's map was similar to Tammy Baldwin's in 2018, which bodes well:

@benwikler Also key:

Dems say they'll spend the next six months organizing people to vote absentee, which would protect voters' health, while pressuring GOP to drop opposition to all-vote-by-mail, which puts voters' health at risk.

This energizes voters big time:
