Wisconsin Republicans to block special elections

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald says Republicans may rewrite special election statutes after a judge ordered Gov. Scott Walker to call special elections to fill two vacant legislative seats.

A Madison judge ruled Thursday that Walker must order the elections by March 29.

Fitzgerald told reporters Friday the ruling creates multiple elections to fill the Senate seat. The Senate wrapped up its two-year session Tuesday but Fitzgerald said the body could reconvene to consider a bill to "align" special elections with the regular cycle.

You've got to vote these morons out.

I'm still struggling to figure out what happened to that state. It's like a microcosm of what's happened to this nation. The cheeseheads that I knew were wonderful, intelligent, fair-minded people.

I look at the state of affairs in Wisconsin and I start to wonder about vote tampering.
