In Wisconsin two high positions in the Government changed hands during the 2018 election, that of Governor and the Attorney General. The GOP will continue to control the legislature but knows that it soon will not be able override a veto by the new Dem governor so they are going to try and reduce the power of both. If this is not bad enough they are going to change the election dates so that the presidential and house elections are separated from the election for the state supreme court election. They believe doing this will make it easier for the right wing court member who has been placed on the court by the present GOP governor to be elected. This will cost the state over 7 million dollars. We have seen this happen in other states controlled by the GOP. DO you think that this is ethical? I am not asking if it is legal, as it might be, but does it not reflect a belief by the GOP n some states that they should not listen to the voice of the people?
Well, we do know that the will of the voters over the last eight years threw out over 1000 Democrats and replaced them with Republicans to the point where, under Obama, voters voted in a Republican House and Senate and yet Democrats did nothing but play the resistance against the will of the voters. Then, since Trump has been president, the will of the voters voted in a Republican president, a House, and the Senate and yet Democrats have formed the resistance against the will of the voters. And, even coming up in 2019, voters have voted in Republicans for 2/3's of the government and the Democrats are still going to play the resistance against the will of the voters.
