Oh, she's also diabetic and running out of insulin & heart medication. And the Lao government is holding her things so she has no money or identification or anything. Neat.

Hopefully Laos deports her back to the US.

Where did Wisconsin’s electoral college votes go to? I’m guessing they wanted this.

Wisconsin is one of the swingiest swing states. Wisconsin's electoral votes went to Trump, Biden and Trump in the last 3 presidential elections by extremely narrow margins (just a percent or two each time) and they've had governors races decided by hundreds of votes in recent years. Every election in Wisconsin is hard to predict other than the hyper-local ones, especially after the court-ordered redistricting away from the Republican-drawn super-gerrymandered districts

Electoral votes do not represent a state's population
