More CoverageHe was thwarted by conservatives on two courts. The Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled 4-2, with four conservatives in support and two liberals against, that Evers lacked the authority to move the election on his own.
The lower court order that extended absentee balloting through April 13 had stipulated that election returns not be announced until then. Wisconsin Election Commission spokesman Reid Magney said that portion of the lower court’s order remained in effect. Democratic state Sen. Jon Erpenbach said Republicans in his state fought a delay because they want to suppress turnout, particularly in Democrat-heavy Milwaukee, because that will benefit Republicans.
“Your choice is to go and vote in person and take a chance on contracting COVID-19 or stay home,” Erpenbach said. “What do you think people are going to do?”
This particular fight is about re-election of Daniel Kelly R, WI State Supreme Court. His vote needed for R supported plan to purge voter rolls before Nov general election. Low turnout=R win. Sets up strategic R win of electoral college in WI for Nov. D primary, afterthought.
That strange feeling of deja vu. Maybe he can run out the clock tomorrow. (Well, today)
A pattern how close to the general can a primary be?
Ever feel like Wisconsin is way more important than it should be?
