MADISON, Wisconsin — Spring elections in Wisconsin are typically low turnout affairs, but in April, with the nation watching the state’s bitterly contested Supreme Court race, voters turned out in record-breaking numbers.
No place was more energized to vote than Dane County, the state’s second-most populous county after Milwaukee. It’s long been a progressive stronghold thanks to the double influence of Madison, the state capital, and the University of Wisconsin, but this was something else. Turnout in Dane was higher than anywhere else in the state.

Anybody who can use "highly educated" and "democrat voter" in the same sentence has not been conscious for the past two and a half years. Education today is not the true process of learning that we knew in the past, it is wokeism, activism and a journey into delusion.
A fine bit of creative writing as only Politico can do it.

I've worked for over 40 years at a university. With some exceptions, the people I've met may be highly educated, but their education is extremely narrow. They may know everything in the world about their narrow specialties, but ask them anything outside that and they are clueless. I thank God for the example of my wonderful grandfather. He only went through the 8th grade, but he never stopped reading and learning. He started his own successful business and put 6 children through college back when a college education meant something. He had a very broad range of knowledge.

So, with the current result of all this democrat success, are those people looking at the Biden administration and saying, ‘yep, this is what we voted for. We like it!’

We had a lot more respect for our colleges when we gave 18 year-olds the right to vote. We would never make that choice in today's world.

More votes than registered voters??? Wonder about that...dems trying new ways to vote illegally????
I still say, one day, no absentee ballots unless verified by a Dr that you are hospitalized, no vote harvesting, nothing electronic involved, paper ballots and indelible ink, purple ink on the thumb instead of those stupid 'I voted' stickers...make election day a holiday then there will be no excuse for not voting on that day.
We need to be able to trust the vote, which we no longer do...

At the University of Colorado, group think is very much in charge. The Peoples' Republic of Boulder is the same way.

What this article doesn’t address is the increasing number of young people who are foregoing college, nor the increasing numbers of young people who identify as conservative. Remember, this is a Politico article.

College towns are full of "highly propagandized" folks, which is actually quite different than "highly educated", although the propaganda training centers call themselves "Education Center".
But only in some of the hard sciences does actual factual education happen. In the rest of these "Universities" and "Colleges" what they actually do is leftist propaganda indoctrination.
College towns have always been leftist in my lifetime, now they are often Maoist or pure Stalinists.

I believe there is cheating and fraud, but unless conservatives up their participation, it will be hard to make a case. If you love this country you MUST get out and vote--in every election!

Colleges are being way overfunded. Republicans need to stop leaving their estates to the colleges, who have done nothing but reject everything they believe in, and have brainwashed their children. The colleges in Texas belong to just 4 university systems, which adhere to similar policies. It is not your father's independent colleges.
