Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, August 12, 2026

All along polls had Fran Hong ahead by double digits and now it's too close to call. I officially declare shenanigan. How it was stolen, don't know, don't care but a lot of young voters are going to upset by her "loss". This how the Democrats roll in Wisconsin

Voting "irregularities" in Milwaukee of all places. I am so surprised. Instead of DSA candidate Hong we have a choice between a generic establishment candidate and a generic establishment candidate with a better tan.

"Democrats steal another election"

Whoa.

Don't you have to prove the first claim, before using the word "another"???

When are you planning on submitting the first piece of evidence inside a courtroom that 2020 was stolen? Because to date, team Trump has never once utter the word "fraud" inside of a courtroom. Only from podiums, where it's OK for them to lie. Once inside a courtroom, there must be proof to utter that word.

Why is it: no one from team Trump has ever uttered the word "fraud" inside a courtroom??? My theory is using that word WITHOUT proof can get a lawyer sanctioned, disciplined, jailed, or worse.

What's your theory?

There are many examples of Democrats stealing elections in history. Last night in Wisconsin is only the most recent example.

David Crowley Polling initially at 2%. Drops out of race. Gov. Evers asks him to re-enter after Rodriguez drops out. He's way behind in the polling against Hong.

His theory is the "big lie theory" and comes from "Mein Kampf" where Hitler wrote that the public falls victim to a large falsehood faster than a small one.

The "big lie" is a propaganda technique in which a colossal falsehood is repeated so often that people begin to accept it as the truth. Because the lie is so massive, ordinary people assume nobody would ever have the audacity to invent something so fake on that scale.

The guy that won has mostly similar views as the idiot woman.

.... He's smart enough to not post the idiotic stupidity platform of the DSA.

Instead he'll begin his help in erasing articles 1, 2 and 3 of the constitution as per instructions

from the DSA and their stated goals if he wins the general.

You idiot morons remember what those articles are don't you ?

What does "initially" mean to you? Crowley had dropped out and endorsed Rodriquez who subsequently the next day had to drop out because of fraud.

Without an Elite Dem in the race, Evers panics with DSA surging, Evers had to back Crowley.

Then the machine went to work to close the 20+ point gap overnight.

Across Wisconsin, 39% of early voters cast their ballot before the final field was set.

What gap? The link I posted shows Crowley effectively tied in a head-to-head matchup, beating Hong by 1%.

You're trying to construct a false narrative, where elections are being stolen by some unidentified malevolent force.

If you had actual fraud to allege, you'd do that.

But you don't, so you play these Trump Games.

THAT's WHY it takes longer in the most populous area.

Fact is, the authors of that rule want DELAY to equal DOUBT.

"It's amazing how late ballot dumps ALWAYS happen reduce the results the Democrat party wants."

Is it also amazing it comes from states where (R) legislatures forbid counting until Election Day. Have you noticed???

It always puts large cities (which usually lean blue) at a disadvantage, since they have such a steeper hill to climb.

And then partisans want folks to conflate DELAY with DOUBT. And that's AFTER those same folks have DEMANDED strict signature-checking on mail-in ballots (as if those don't already exist).

But it's classic sabotage: Write a law forbidding the processing of early votes, and then SCREECH about the fact the count didn't finish in the largest Dem stronghold until after the others.

Dingaling obscures the fact that as our population has grown and lines are longer and things generally take longer. And processing ballots of a growing population obviously takes longer. There are a lot more voters now than ever.

One of the reasons (the main reason) I don't live in the Bay Area anymore is if had an idea to do something down there it seemed a thousand other people also had the same ideas. There was always a line.

But we already know Dingaling likes to obscure the facts. He picks out one little morsel of a fact and acts like it's the whole damn meal.
