It was done to win a statewide election they couldn't gerrymander, because they feared another loss like the Governor's Office.The Republican Leg did this to make sure their boy Daniel Kelly stayed in the WI State Supreme Court seat that Former Gov (Koch Whore) Walker appointed him to - So the court can continue to watch their back, and deflect cases when they overreach.

You deserve a self distancing hug - this is really bringing the best and worst out in people. I work in a low paying store that sells groceries so we are still open. I've had people yell at me because we don't have hand sanitizer or I won't sell more than one packet of toilet rolls. I've also had customers buying a box of sweets as a thankyou to me (happens with my colleagues too, we share them in the staff room). Strange times indeed.

why's there a judicial ruling on result giving?

"judicial" does seem to be taking on new meaning, doesn't it. And to think we used to just settle for some variant of "fuck."

More time for vote-counting—or time for fuckery.

It's like that with most red states.

AAAARRRRGH. WI is not a red state. It is a purple state that has been captured by Reds. What has happened to WI could happen to almost any state during a period of Republican control. Including, probably, yours.

Not true. Protective garb was optional in most polling places, with many workers not even wearing masks, much less tial covering.

What was the results of the election? How many people voted and did the repugs win or lose.

The GOP and democracy hating right wing swine generally are going all out to suppress voting. Judicial Watch, for instance, wants to sue North Carolina for having a lot of inactive voters on its rolls. It's far more likely that they've simply not bothered to vote in two federal elections than that they've died or moved away. Someone who must think polysyllables are the same as being smart has just said this means "either revolution or a matriarchal feminized marxist state beyond comprehension."I'm guessing he's an incel, and that most things are beyond his comprehension.He left out "islamist" too.

Trump's got moron-avirus. Probably got it from Alex Jones.

Well, if we're all dead we can't catch COVID-19 again, so I suppose that would be immunity of a sort.
