It's an interesting observation. Elections often reflect a complex interplay of factors, including governance performance, public perception, and voter behavior. While some may prioritize community interests over national ones, it's crucial for all citizens to recognize the significance of their vote in shaping the future of their country. Every vote counts towards building a better nation. Despite a leader's achievements, election outcomes may surprise. Various factors like regional dynamics, coalition politics, and voter sentiments may have influence results. Just my perspective, others obsevations may be different.

Standing for Democracy and Accountability. Today, I had the privilege to testify before the Wisconsin Elections Commission, representing All Voting is Local Action and over 1,800 Wisconsinites who stand for free and fair elections. We are calling for the immediate resignation of Bob Spindell from the Wisconsin Elections Commission. His actions as a 2020 fake elector and his alarming remarks celebrating voter suppression in Black and Brown communities betray the trust that our elections are built on. As a mother and a proud Wisconsinite, I believe that every voter, regardless of race or political party, deserves respect and representation. Bob Spindell has failed in this responsibility, and today we made it clear: Wisconsinites deserve better. Together, we’re holding our leaders accountable and pushing for a more equitable democracy. #ProtectOurVote #FreeAndFairElections #DemocracyInAction #AccountabilityMatters #ResignBobSpindell #AllVotingisLocalAction
