Oh please. Evers has no one to blame but himself for this. Mere days ago he said he couldn’t postpone the election because it’d be illegal.

And then there was a Federal Emergency declared. It changed the facts on the ground.

Meanwhile, the state courts are closed. So the State Supreme Court did this remotely? How quaint.

Umm, the Federal Emergency was declared weeks ago. Evers tweeted on April 1st that he wouldn’t change the election date because doing so would break the law.

I’m not even saying I disagree that the election shouldn’t be held tomorrow. But again, Evers has no one to blame for this but himself. Cancelling the election at the 11th hour, AFTER he said literally five days ago that doing so would be illegal and he wouldn’t do it, is just piss poor, TERRIBLE leadership.

YEP.

Why are we surprised that our leaders are easily bought-off when our entire system equates wealth with success? A heartless, cynical system will be run by heartless, cynical people.

You forgot to add Trump encouraging the vote for Kelly. Not one Republican tried to save the lives of people from Wisconsin. Not from the state level, the Supreme Court, or the President. They are trying to kill people during this Pandemic.

The New York Times editorial board echoed Ginsburg, warning that what is happening in Wisconsin, where Republicans are trying to use the pandemic to steal an election, could happen nationally in 2020. This is why Democrats tried to get robust election funding in the $2.2 trillion coronavirus bill to bolster mail-in ballots, and why Trump said: “The things they had in there were crazy, they had things, levels of voting that if you ever agreed to, you would never have another Republican elected in this country again.”

Read the comments — this is what voter suppression looks like.

Can you still vote in person if you requested an absentee ballot but it never arrived?

Yes. That is your only option.

both the wisconsin and US supreme courts have suspended operations because of the pandemic, but they have no problem with making voters do this.

It is TRULY shocking. Honestly I thought that the governor would win this.

The sheer cluelessness of the GOP state legislature:

The poll workers and voters are national heroes.

I would walk through radioactive sludge to vote the GOP out, if it would mean a better world for my kids.

Republicans on the Supreme Court made sure Wisconsin is a s**t show just like Trump has made sure the country is going down the tubes.

Death, disenfranchisement, denial - that is what Republicans stand for. And when they are removed from their places of power and privilege, the people will demand justice for those who worked so hard to deny the people their basic rights. It will not be pretty, but it will be glorious.
