“Good morning and welcome to the Shit Show!” Lieutenant Gov. Mandela Barnes (D) tweeted. “Today’s episode has been produced by the Supreme Court and directed by the incomparable Speaker and Senate Majority leader duo.”

CNN correspondent Omar Jimenez posted a video showing long lines starting to form early Tuesday:

Evers had issued the order on Monday amid the COVID-19 outbreak to eliminate the risk of further infections at the crowded polling places. However, Wisconsin Republicans fought against the order and were handed a victory on Monday night when the state Supreme Court ruled that the elections must be held on schedule.

The governor slammed the ruling shortly afterward, saying that “thousands will wake up and have to choose between exercising their right to vote and staying healthy and safe.”

“In this time of historic crisis, it is a shame that two branches of government in this state chose to pass the buck instead of taking responsibility for the health and safety of the people we were elected to serve,” Evers said in a statement.

2. What the GOP was trying to do here

was insure that the state Supreme Court stays conservative. They don't care about Biden vs. Bernie, but there's a Supreme Court election and they want to be sure the GOP candidates win. What makes no sense to me is that GOPers will also have to come out and vote; they can't have all voted by absentee ballot already.

5. I hope these actions put republicans out of all offices in Wisconsin in short order.

This messed up effort by the republicans is making their own bad situation worse in this country. People are getting really fed up.
