Of course, I did not call Unleash a liar. I said I was skeptical.

Speaking of dense, I was not the one who believed everyone could get a test even though hospitals and doctors said it wasn't true. You believed it with zero evidence. Kinda the definition of "rube".

You never did drive down to pleasant prairie then, is what you are saying.

You've learned your lesson well. If you get caught in a lie, repeat the lie.

Between this and the election moving forward, I feel like Wisconsin could set back a lot of progress made over the last few weeks.

I understand the impulse and the symbolism.    I also understand the science.    Stay home.   
Luke 6:45   ...A good man produces goodness from the good in his heart; an evil man produces evil out of his store of evil.   Each man speaks from his heart's abundance...

It is better to be fearless and cheerful than cheerless and fearful.

Sounds like the election will go forward tomorrow. Maddening.

No worries, Maggie Gau just suspended tomorrow's vote. 

Then told her "boss" he can resume his nap and she'll wake him next time he needs to be propped up for an announcement.

The right decision

I wonder why Vos and Co hate the idea of a high turnout election.

BREAKING: Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has issued an order shutting down Tuesday's election. It will be delayed until June 9.

A decision he swore he didn't have power to make himself.

This will go to state Supreme Court

Ok...and that still achieves the correct objective - a delay to keep people from spreading COVID-19.

The Court could rule today.  And Evers could ignore it and just tell people to stay home.

Now you have a mess.

And you'll have municipalities, like Milwaukee, who will refuse to hold the election nor certify/report election data until June 9th.

.. I kinda wonder if that was Evers' gambit all along.  Wait until <24 hours until the election to reduce (not remove) the efficacy of legal action.

So Maggie Gau is in charge of Tony Evers.

Shocking revelation.  Where'd you hear about this conspiracy theory?  Was it Levin or McKenna?

No one wants their finger on the trigger. This happened with vent purchases too, with Evers wanting the legislature to do something and the legislature wanting an EO. Both boil down to the legislature playing chicken with this and daring him to act.

Election is back on.

4-2 split, with Kelly not voting.

Ludum habemus.

Or the governor doesn't have the right to move an election the day before its scheduled, less than a week after saying the he didnt have the power to do so.

Imagine the outrage if Scott Walker tried to pull a stunt like Evers did. Occupation Part II.

This should have been addressed 3 weeks ago, when stay at home was first announced.  Instead, we get political pissing by both sides in the days prior to an election.

It's a bad look by both sides.

Dear Wisconsin:  You're making international news - and not in a good way.
