Light a candle, say a prayer, send some vibes and/or juju, call a friend in WI and make sure they vote BARRETT/MITCHELL!!!

By the republican lady who keeps screwing up the vote count. I hope the DOJ is watching her like a hawk. I'd love to see the fools get caught tampering with the ballots. Jail is to good for election thieves.

We're on it.

Good luck. This lifetime union member is you corner all the way. We can't stand by calmly and let guys like Walker destroy the rights that American workers and their families have fought and even died for, over the past 125 years.

Keep a good eye on that "lady" and demand that she be punished harshly, if there are any further discrepancies in the counts or outright thievery of any ballots.

Zero tolerance for election thieves and crooked voting devices.

WI Dems are smart. Even those of us in Waukesha County.

There is not a doubt in my mind that the bastids will try some kind of criminal tricks.

Help if you can!

I actually went to college in Oshkosh! Great state!

I cannot STAND to look at that mofo's smarmy smile all day.

Tomorrow, you can put a nice big pic of a defeated, dejected Walker up, and I promise I'll look at it with rapturous glee.

I changed it

Good luck today!

a Total Recall?

Oh ouch! I'll be here all week! Try the veal and don't forget to tip the waiters!

My son (whose first name happens to be Walker, and boy, did he have trouble getting used to all the "Walker Sucks" signs) has worked very hard for this recall, and I don't want to see him and everyone else be disappointed. Vote Barrett!

It's family dinner night tonight. Should make for some exciting table talk!

Kick his ass to the curb

Effing pigs.

(small town, no lines expected, but bringing a book along just in case).

We are all a little on edge here; thanks for all the support from the DU community...

If yours is one of the 800 munis in Wisconsin that offer hand counted paper ballots vs touchscreen. Even if you have opscan vs touchscreen option , choose opsca for the verifiable paper trail- both sides have hired recount lawyers.

In the primary, my boss went in to vote several hours after me, and when he was pointed to 'the machine' he said, "Well, I bet you didn't get ----- to use this, did you?" They said "Nope, never does!"....

I always tell the nice lady poll workers (my neighbors in this small town) that "I trust them MORE than any machine!"

Go Cheeseheads! GOTV!

• Vote on a paper ballot! Despite the fact that they are often mis-tabulated by computers, as noted above, at least it may be possible to count a paper ballot by hand at some point to determine that it has been tabulated accurately. If you vote on a touch-screen voting system, it will be 100% impossible to ever know that any vote cast on such a system was recorded accurately. If your municipality has touch-screens for you to vote on, request politely but firmly to vote on a paper ballot instead!

• Be at the polls with cameras when they close! Election Integrity expert John Washburn, of Fair Elections Wisconsin, advises that voters should go to polling places just before they close in order to oversee the poll closing process and the printing of results from computer tabulators there.

"Show up for the closing of the elections at eight-o'clock. At that point it's an open meeting, turn on the camera," Washburn told us recently. Once polls close, he notes, the proceedings are then an open meeting by the local board of canvassers which may be recorded by cameras and other devices.

Photograph and/or video-tape the results poll tapes that are printed out by the computers, and anything else you can see. You never know when/if that material may come in handy later. Photos of poll tapes won't ensure the computers tabulated the ballots correctly, but they can help deter the possibility of results being changed later by the central tabulator systems or even on Internet election results reporting websites.

"Record what you see," at the polls, Washburn strongly advises. "If you see anything weird, insist that it be put on the Inspector's Report, because if it ain't on the official election report, it didn't happen." (Inspector's Reports can be printed out here, in case you wish to bring one to the polls.)

• Report any problems you witness If you have a problem voting, or see anything that is troubling, document it as best as possible. As mentioned above, try to see that it gets into your local Inspector's Report at the precinct. But then be sure to report it to the WI Government Accountability Board (G.A.B.) at 866-VOTE-WIS and via email at gab@wi.gov. We recommend you also file another report at the independent national voter problem hotline: 866-OUR-VOTE.

• Take screenshots of results at home As results are being reported online throughout the night, use your computer to take screenshots of them. Results have a way of magically flipping at various points in the night. But if that can't be proven, it's difficult to demand an explanation for the anomaly later. Add a date and time-stamp to the filename of the graphic when you save the screenshots while viewing them. Again, you never know when or if they will come in handy later! This is something you do not have to be in Wisconsin to do!

on what you are seeing in the moment.

Does the President plan on interjecting at all today or possibly tomorrow, once we know the outcome? Why is he not there to show support to not only the democratic candidate, but just in support of the people of Wisconsin? The folks of Wisconsin are facing a microcosm of Citizen's United...something we all face as a country come this fall!

Showdown time is upon us, and it looks like we have a massive voter turnout. In 2010 the turnout was 37%, it now looks like that figure will be double! Right on people, this is what it takes, low turnout lets guys like Scott Walker in, and now the people know what damage Republicans can do to the middle class and the poor's livelihoods. My latest cartoon is all about Wisconsin's people & Scott Walker!
