Where can I find exact figures for the Wisconsin Dist 10 special election?

I can't find anything at nytimes.com/topic/subject/elections (Is that where to go?). The Wisconsin gov site doesn't go past the primary.

What was Mike Pence doing at a black Baptist church in Maryland?

Was it a campaign move? Does he regularly church hop? I'm glad he was there to hear the sermon ripping into Trump.

Does anyone know what portion of "the 37%" approve of the....

.... non-political aspects of Trump's behavior? That is, who are not just "approving" because they can't not approve of a Republican president? People who are "approving" because they think/behave like Trump, or wish they did?

It has come to this... I see good qualities in Paul Ryan and Rand Paul...

Our political system has become so totally, totally lacking in moral fiber, that I see people with evil policies, but who, it seems, are motivated by those policies, rather than hate for blacks or Democrats or women, as a glimmer of positivity.

Does this make sense?

P.S. Upon reading a lot of replies, I see that I need to make clear that I distinguish between a desire to implement economic policies which my turn out to be very cruel to lots of people, particularly the disenfranchised, and the desire to get rid of/put down/hurt those very people. In other words it's better to have a system where we can argue about what's best for the country, big or small government, more or fewer taxes, than a system where the primary motivation is to not give our black president any wins, no matter what the issue.

I understand that some of the respondents really do think Ryan and Paul are motivated in both ways. Instead, I see some self consistency that I prefer to plain old hatred.

Why did s**thole change to shithole on the CNN crawl?

For the first half hour or so that I was watching (muted), Trump was quoted with asterisks. Then the asterisks were replaced with letters. Was any comment made about that?

Does anyone know where I can find a 1970's-1990's picture of Wolf Blitzer?

Google Images makes it look like he sprang from the womb with gray hair.

Was a cause ever found for the Amtrak Portland/Seattle derailment?

I've tried to find something via Google. All I found were reports from the time of the crash.
