Gov. Barnes to overcome his 27,374 vote deficit. This race is over,\u201d said Johnson in a press release on Wednesday morning. \u201cThe votes are in. In all Democrat strongholds, municipalities are reporting 100% of wards are in and counted. There are some counties that have anywhere from 3-10% of the votes outstanding. These localities represent areas where we are winning by over 60%.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Yet the corporate media continued to drag their feet in calling the race, dubiously pretending Johnson\u2019s opponent Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes had a chance at winning despite nearly all votes being counted. As the Democrat media complex flexes its power to call or refrain from calling elections, the Wisconsin senate race is a good reminder that its projections are not always accurate and decisions to declare election winners prematurely or late can be politically motivated.<\/p>\n<p>As Johnson pointed out, in 2020 now-President Joe Biden \u201cclaimed victory in Wisconsin with a 20,000 vote margin.\u201d Yet in 2022, the corporate media allowed Barnes to hold off accepting defeat despite \u201ctrailing by 27,000 votes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Democrat coalition, including the deep state, <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/06\/11\/youtube-bans-sen-ron-johnson-for-discussing-early-treatment-of-covid-19\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tech giants<\/a>, elected leaders, and the corporate media, had it out for Johnson from the start.
