Eric Hovde and his supporters have every right to believe something stinks in Milwaukee.
Of course, the usual suspects in the propaganda press have been quick to mark the Wisconsin Republican Senate candidate an election denier for raising legitimate questions and concerns about Milwaukee’s long-delayed, late-night vote count that — once again — delivered the Democrat candidate just enough votes to win a tight election.
But as The Federalist has reported, leftist-led Milwaukee’s knack for utter incompetence and shady election administration has badly bruised conservatives’ faith in free, fair and transparent elections in Wisconsin’s largest city. Election Day (and into the morning after) 2024 was no exception.
The race between Hovde, a Madison businessman, and incumbent Democrat Sen. Tammy Baldwin was so close that the Associated Press didn’t call it for the Madison liberal until the day after the election. As it stands, the unofficial vote count on Wednesday showed Baldwin bested Hovde by some 29,000 votes out of more than 3.34 million ballots cast, a margin of just 0.9 percent.
