So after thousands of recounts, dozens of audits, and a myriad of court cases affirming the results of the 2020 election, you still want to believe the ‘big lie’. But don’t look to Mike Gableman’s ‘investigation’. After spending $600,000, $700,000 or $800,000 of your tax dollars (depends on whose calculator…

I will probably have more to say about this jerkwad after the holiday but briefly from today’s news: Former state Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman is calling on a GOP state senator to resign for criticizing the review of the 2020 election he is conducting for Assembly Republicans.

There has already been a record request for absentee ballots in Wisconsin with municipalities already sending out 1 million ballots this week. Many more requests for ballots will very likely be received before the deadline. It will take hours to count the returned ballots and election results won’t be timely…

This morning’s Milwaukee Journal Sentinel had a quick feature on why young people don’t vote.

Let’s start with the gerrymandering…yes in some cases that may limit the value of your vote for now…but only if you let it. Voter ID…yes the GOP is trying its damnedest to prevent people from voting. Voter Roll Purges just before the elections like those in Indiana and Georgia where…
