Two Wisconsin legislative seats became vacant in December but Scott Walker refused to schedule special elections. @ericholder sued him & court said Walker had “plain & positive duty” to hold elections motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
But instead of scheduling elections, Wisconsin Republicans attacked Walker-appointed judge & vowed to hold special legislative session to cancel elections. Unbelievably undemocratic motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
When Walker tried to further postpone elections, 2 more courts ruled against him. “Representative government and the election of our representatives are never ‘unnecessary,’ never a ‘waste of taxpayer resources,’ a Republican judge told him motherjones.com/politics/2018/…
