As most of you probably know, I am a Wisconsinite. I love my weird, wonderful little state so much.

I also know my state has a terrible history of gerrymandering and voter suppression.

Today has been...a lot.

I’ve been really angry, mostly. This now iconic photo from @journalsentinel intern @Pmcknightnews really sums up so much. https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1247581715511627776">https://twitter.com/donmoyn/s...

But, though I will always believe no one should’ve been forced to risk their safety to vote today, I’ve been looking for the helpers, as Mr. Rogers would say. Helpers like this woman: https://twitter.com/mattsmith_news/status/1247630779221409792">https://twitter.com/mattsmith...

Helpers like the person who left out free masks at one Milwaukee voting location: https://twitter.com/aaron_maybin/status/1247550743638421504?s=21">https://twitter.com/aaron_may... https://twitter.com/aaron_maybin/status/1247550743638421504">https://twitter.com/aaron_may...

Helpers like Esther, who bought pizza from a local Milwaukee restaurant to be passed out as people waited in line to vote:

I’ve been so proud of everyone who demanded their vote count, even if it should’ve never come to this extreme. I’m praying they all stay healthy.

People like Mr. Clarence in Milwaukee (great reporting from @AsteadWesley in this piece):
