Walker lost on the huge student turnout in Madison and the similarly huge turn out in Milwaukee County - of which 34,000 voters, earlier presumed dead, non-existent, or made up, were allowed to vote and another 74,000 suddenly found absentee votes. On top of that, many absentee voters received multiple votes some at lest six ballots ...

Unfortunately, the GOPe which controls the state party did nothing, just as they didn’t lift a finger to help Lou Barletta, a great candidate with a proven track record, who tied to replace our village idiot, Bob Casey, Jr.
Complain all you want but it could be very effective in costing the Republicans state legislatures and seats in Congress. If the Democrats are smart enough to follow that path, and indications are that they might be.
2 years ago, MI came within 2 votes of phasing out the state income tax. That move would have brought a lot of money into the state, a lot.
Now MI is just another place with very high property taxes, and the nations highest car insurance rates.
Given the Democrats just handed the Speakers Gavel back to the most insane, batshit-crazy, divisive woman they possibly could to lead the House of Representatives, all bets are off that the Democrats are "smart" in any way, shape or form.
Great! Pubbies fighting back.
So what’s wrong with making the number of days for early voting uniform? Madison and Milwaukee have more early voting days and hours than anyone. I really wish we could just go back to the days of one Election Day and absentee ballots issued for legitimate reasons. But, that’s voter suppression because we need to count all votes, real or fraudulent as long as Dems can win.
He also approved a provision that would prevent judges from automatically giving deference to bureaucrats’ interpretation of administrative rules. What is wrong with reqiuring judges to look at state statutes and the constitution first instead of slavishly following the dictates of an unelected bureaucrat? Our local leftist Milwaukee Jounal fretted that people could challenge administrative decisions made by agencies (such as environmental regulation) made against them. Well, we can’t have that kind of affront to the government gods.
And yet they just flipped the House. What does that say about Republican smarts? You don't have to be that bright in order to win if your opponent is dumber than you are.
Exactly. I saw it happen.
The board was supposed to be "independent".
Who knew that "independent" was a synonym for "hard left".
Probably not, seeing as how the GOP is not an independent political entity but one visible arm of an entity aimed at "managing the population" - so if vote fraud by the other arm is needed to keep the natives quiescent, the GOP arm's role is to shut up and let it happen - for the good of the billionaires...er, country. :)
They don't need such cheating to control us - a corrupt judiciary and the IRS are proving sufficient.
“the President’s base then there is no reason why he can’t take those states again. “
Immigration and vote fraud.
Democrats shouldn’t really be all that upset with this as this is exactly the kind of thing they’ve been doing to Republicans now for decades all over the country. They just don’t like being paid back.
but this information has a history of going nowhere?
The Rats stole this race when they “found” 45,000 votes in Milwaukee. In Michigan the Rats got 3 ballot proposals on the November ballot that guaranteed a high rat turnout. The Michigan GOP was too dumb too make sure all 3 were on the ballot during the August elections.
The legislation also allows lawmakers, rather than the attorney general, to decide whether to withdraw the state from lawsuits. That will prevent Evers and the incoming Democratic attorney general, Josh Kaul, from fulfilling a campaign promise to end Wisconsin’s challenge to the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare.
This should have been included in the first or second post. I would would have put it under the headline as an excerpt and -snip- so the link didn't have to be clicked on to find out what it is Gov Walker and state pols did.
Just some constructive criticism. No harm meant.
Of course.
sorry, habit of literally excerpting first up to 300 words. Good advice.
(BTW , I am frustrated by those who except just one sentence)
The Republican Party HQ is in Madison and is so out of touch ... they are not willing to fight because there might be a bad story about them in the JS - and worse, the Dems in Madison would not like them and so they would be left out of all the good parties etc.
The Republican Party HQ, to become effective, must be moved out of that crazy town - like Green Bay or someplace - just not MadTown.
As long as The Republican Party HQ is in Madison, the whole thing will be forgotten until 2020 when the Dems will repeat the process swinging the election in Wisconsin to Harris or Beta or AOC or Bloomburg or Kasich.
The are one or 2 talk show hosts on WISN who claim to be perusing those odd votes.
