NEWS: Trump campaign says it's filing to recount Milwaukee & Dane Counties. But as Trump said in 2016, “The people have spoken and the election is over.” Wisconsinites chose Biden. The history of recounts suggests the win is insurmountable. Trump is kicking up dust. We’re ready.
Staffing recounts costs money. The highest-impact way to support our work is to sign up as a monthly donor—even a few bucks a month—to help ensure that we’re in a strong position for the fights to come, no matter what happens: wisdems.org/recount
Just in case Trump wanted to waste the nation’s time so he can keep grifting, our organizers have been working with county parties and neighborhood action teams to recruit and train volunteers all over the state.
We won once. Thanks to the tireless efforts and dedication of poll workers, clerks, and other election officials, Wisconsin ran one of the smoothest and most transparent elections in its history. Now we’ll recount some votes—demonstrate again that Biden’s our next president.

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.

ELECTION DAY IS HERE!

In Wisconsin, polls are open now through 8PM. Use your power and #vote—either in person (you can same-day register!) or by hand-delivering your absentee ballot.

You can find your polling location here: wisdems.org/vote-today/
Not registered to vote? All good! In Wisconsin, you can register at the polls on Election Day.

All you need is to show proof of residency at your polling location, such as a WI Drivers License, utility bill, or lease, and staff will help you register. myvote.wi.gov/en-us/ProofofR…
If at any point today, you have questions about voting, the @WisDems Voter Assistance Hotline is staffed and ready to help. Give our team a call at 608-336-3232. Image

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!

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.
