Title: Wisconsin in 2004 Post by: Defarge on April 30, 2006, 08:28:54 PM While we're on the subject of individual state results, I have always wondered about Wisconsin. I remember that essentially all the polls showed that Bush was ahead. In my personal prediction I remember I had Wisconsin in the Bush column. What happened? Were the polls simply wrong, or *shock* did the Kerry campaign do something right for once?

I think in Wisonsin it was the same day registration, plus Kerry did really really well in Milwaukee. In Iowa, I think the social issues got to the voters. To me, Iowa just seems like a more conservative state overall.

There was a small investigation a few weeks after the election and they found a couple hundred fake addresses that had registered the same day as the election. That practice needs to go, now. Quoted from another thread. Title: Re: Wisconsin in 2004 Post by: Soaring Eagle on May 10, 2006, 03:26:55 PM I also thought Bush would win WI, it just seems socially conservative enough.
