THREAD: The Biden win over Trump in Wisconsin is the result of thousands of heroes, working in the trenches for years.
To everyone who made this possible—THANK YOU. Here's one story of the path to this victory, and some of the people & groups involved. Everything mattered.
First, and foremost, we would not have won Wisconsin with the tireless efforts of Governor Tony Evers (@Tony4WI ).
The @WisDems collaboration with him allowed us to scale our state party in an unprecedented fashion. And boy did we need to scale. Here's why:
Wisconsin is the home of the nailbiter. Here’s a slide I’ve been using in presentations for the last year. Adding in 2020, four of the last six presidential races here have had under 1% margins.
Ignore polls: You have to run like you’re two points behind.
BREAKING: Supreme Court upholds Republican-appointed judges’ decision siding with Trump’s GOP on Wisconsin voting rights. Absentee ballots *must* arrive by 8pm on Election Day. We’re dialing up a huge voter education campaign—chip in to support: wisdems.org/SCOTUS
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW: You can still request an absentee ballot in Wisconsin. When it arrives, fill it out, get a witness signature & address on the envelope, and *hand-deliver it* by 8pm 11/3. Find your local clerk or drop box location at iwillvote.com/wi
You can also early vote in person, or vote on Election Day, and you can same-day register in Wisconsin. The rules haven't changed. But the Supreme Court failed an opportunity to expand democracy. Seize your power & hit back: VOTE VOTE VOTE! jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
The first way you can help: by downloading the Vote Joe app & using it to contact your friends & family members who might need a little extra nudge to cast their ballots.
The Vote Joe app makes it easy. And nothing’s more powerful. Here’s the app for iOS: joe.link/apple
In study after study, personal contacts from people you actually know in real life are the single thing with the greatest impact on voters.
You’re more powerful than any TV ad.
Download Vote Joe and get rolling! Here’s the Google Play store link: joe.link/androidapp
You can donate any amount, OR you can sign up for a virtual phonebanking shift at wisdems.org/phonebank-for-….
People power will put us over the top in the must-win state!
#RockyHorrorLive will kick off at 9pm CT on Halloween (right after the last virtual phone bank shift ends!)—which is of course the traditional midnight start time in South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
NEW AD: Governor Tony Evers has worked tirelessly to beat the pandemic—& Wisconsin Republicans have opposed him at every turn. Now, they’re aiming for supermajorities in the state legislature instead of showing up to help Wisconsinites. RT this & read on:
The GOP legislature used a lame-duck legislative session after Evers was elected to give itself powers he was elected to wield. Then they scored a court ruling that gave them control of health emergency powers… and didn’t pass a single one.
Most recently, a judge formerly active in Republican politics overturned a health order by @GovEvers to limit capacity at indoor bars and restaurants. Meanwhile, coronavirus has spiraled out of control in our state. We’re setting up field hospitals here.
Less than five hours before the final Federal Elections Commission fundraising deadline before Nov 3—and Wisconsin is still 2020’s absolute must-win state. Trump’s here Saturday.
