Big crowd turns out in Altoona Wisconsin to taunt Trump sycophant Tom Tiffany over his election denier history

Salina Heller reports:

The drizzly, chilly autumn air and a peaceful weekend routine on Spooner Avenue in Altoona were shaken up as a growing crowd of local demonstrators lined the street, their chants echoing through the neighborhood. 

Cyndi Greening of Chippewa Valley Indivisible held the megaphone close to her mouth, and pointed a chant toward US Rep. Tom Tiffany, the Republican nominee for governor. 

“Tom Tiffany voted not to certify Arizona and Pennsylvania—what do we say about that?” 

The crowd called out, “Hip, hip, hypocrite! Hip, hip, hypocrite!” 

“What’s even worse than that?” Greening bellowed. “That he would not have certified Wisconsin if the vote had gone on—he would not have certified our own vote! What do we say?” 

“Hip, hip, hypocrite! Hip, hip, hypocrite!” the group thundered. 

“And now he says, ‘Wait—I think Joe Biden was elected!’” Greening responded. “What do we call that?” 

“Hip, hip, hypocrite! Hip, hip, hypocrite!”

Wisconsin 2026 elections: Republican Jim Green challenges freshman incumbent Democrat Tara Johnson in 96th Assembly District

 

Prior to redistricting, the 96th Assembly District sprawled 93 miles from Prairie du Chien in the southwest to the city limits of Tomah in the northeast.  It included all of Crawford and Vernon counties and the southern half of Monroe County.

Redistricting created a more compact district that includes the south side neighborhoods of the City of La Crosse, the southwest corner of La Crosse County, and all of Vernon County.

Maps and election results:  Ballotpedia

The drawing of fair maps in the 96th created a more competitive district.  As a result, Democrat Tara Johnson was able to defeat 3-term Republican Loren Oldenburg in 2024.  

Johnson appears to be well-positioned to win a second term in the Assembly.  Running unopposed in her August primary, she received 8,258 votes out of 8,267 cast.  Her GOP challenger Jim Green, also running unopposed, received just 3,054 votes out of 3,055 cast.

Malia Jones explains:

Two core concepts of gerrymandering were central to the arguments presented to the high court: cracking and packing. A third process, known as stacking, also crops up in gerrymandered political maps, but was not the focus of Gill v. Whitford.

Cracking and packing both refer to specific ways of drawing legislative boundaries with the outcomes of elections in mind. These two processes operate in tension with one another, but both can be implemented by a party in power seeking to maximize its electoral chances through gerrymandering. 

Packing refers to the practice of drawing particular districts in such a way as to ensure that another party's candidate wins that seat by a tremendous margin. Although the opposing party is all but guaranteed the seat, packing makes surrounding districts less competitive, and thus tips the balance of power in the legislative body overall toward the ruling party. 

Cracking involves drawing districts in such a way as to divide a concentration of specific types of voters across several districts such that they are a minority in each one, with practically no hope of achieving representation in any of the districts. This practice also helps make districts less competitive. [emphasis added]

GET ME REWRITE: MAGA pays the price for its special kind of stupid

E. Elliott Morris reports:

As I wrote in my write-up of our September poll, an overall 6-point net drop in Trump’s approval from August was driven almost entirely by Republicans. Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, net approval of Trump fell from +54 in August to +43 in September. That’s an 11-point drop in a month, to the lowest level in 16 waves of our monthly poll. A year ago, Republicans were at +68!
