Republicans: They just can't help themselves

 
Top headlineNew York Times, 4/11/2023
Mr. Kelly was a poor candidate who lost by an almost identical margin in another state Supreme Court race in 2020, noted David Winston, a longtime pollster and strategist for House Republican leaders. And, Mr. Winston added, Republicans may have lost female voters by 8 percentage points in the 2022 midterm elections, but they lost them by 19 points in 2018.

 

as he received 50% of the vote in the primary, a good indication that the election was going his way.
 


And while we're at it, let's take a look at some numbers that are meaningful.

In conservative Waukesha County, Dan Kelly received 7,941 more votes in 2023 than he did in 2020.  On the other hand, Janet Protasiewicz increased Jill Karosky's 2020 vote tally by 13,900.
