  Wait, Wisconsin?!?!?!? I thought at least they would be better than that. Wait to quote the voice of god, “Bartlebee, was Wisconsin really that bad?”

  Maternal and infant mortality rates as well! There seems to be a correlation, the more “pro-life” a state is, the higher infant and maternal mortality rates are. >
  
  Thank you! >

  Are these what you might call "shithole" states? >
  
  I live in Wisconsin and to be honest it is nothing close to a shithole state. I've traveled and lived in other states but always came back to Wisconsin. Friendly people, a relatively low crime rate, great school systems, strong economy for the most part.
  Unfortunately, we are one of the worse gerrymandered states in the country. I believe we might actually be #1. Republicans are the minority who have exploited our system to seal their power in our state. If democrats could gain their rightful control of Wisconsin back it would be perfect.
  I do find it funny that we are behaving like these other states though because if you look at our metrics we are nothing like the stereotypical "hick state" lol. The reason I am not too worried is that I've spent a lot of time around UWM, UW-Madison, and Marquette. The large majority of students are democratic and love their state. I believe when we are older and start to enter positions of power this will become more apparent. Because, unlike the majority of these "shithole states" Wisconsin has done a good job of educating our youth. >
  
  Wisconsin was surprising to see on here. I've had great times in Wisconsin! Spotted cow is super great, the cheese you don't even need to mention how incredible it is, and House on the Rock!? >
  
  Someone posted in a different thread last week about Wisconsin. It’s completely gerrymandered. Democrats get far more votes in the legislature, but republicans are able to control it. >
  
  Scott Walker and a republican legislature had a right wing think tank come in and redraw the maps in 2010, we're going to be paying for that one for quite a while. The upcoming Supreme Court election is huge.
