A surprise from The Republican Wisconsin Supreme Court-can't trust Judges isn't that a shame in our state?

He was elected last year, so he will be around until 2027. Our next chance to flip a seat is 2023 unless something unforeseen happens.

Rather than opportunistically dragging their feet and creating chaos with mail-in voting.

Shocked, but pleasantly surprised!

the American Green Party can be bought. And quite cheaply I'd imagine. It's a wholly owned subsidiary of the American fascist party.

Force them to issue the ballots a few weeks later and thus provide less time for people to fill them out and get them back to the Boards of Elections.

I think the real goal was to help Trump.

I don't trust the Green Party.

Remember when the WSC ruled Evers couldn't deliver state-wide masking, and gathering size restrictions without legislate approval? Take that Evers! But then to keep locales happy they turned around and find a way to say county and city governments have the legal right to establish such laws without any higher authority's legal consent. Talk about slicing and dicing legally. But hypocrisy to maintain Cons grip doesn't faze them.

People who are serious about climate change and wanting to do something about addressing it need to realize that their best interests lies with the Democrats and vote accordingly. Casting a protest vote for the hell of it in this election is just foolish. It accomplishes absolutely nothing and risks putting Trump back in office—you know, the guy who has eliminated every environmental protection regulation the Green Party supports.

The WI SC has become so political lately, I thought for sure they would put the Greens on the ballot.

Called my town clerk, so she could sleep tonight.
The Green Party messed up their filing. They had time to correct it. They waited. And waited. Then they sued, using a Republican-affiliated law firm.
Good decision, WSCourt! Whew.

and Minnesota Friday. His idiot supporters are not known to social distance or wear masks at rallies. So there may be fewer of them around November.

I hear they're trying to get on the ballot, some problems qualifying or something. Meanwhile people are waiting for their mail-in ballots.
