5pm CST today is the deadline for Wisconsinites to request absentee ballots for the April 7 election at myvote.wi.gov/en-us/voteabse….

If you can, chip in to help us organize a huge "get out the ballot" drive: wisdems.org/forward

And if nothing else—please RT to spread the word!
I'm grateful to the team organizing the Democratic Convention for undertaking the enormous work of postponing the Milwaukee convention, and their ongoing commitment to making it safe, successful, and Wisconsin-y. Wish the GOP state legislature would do the same with our election.
When you vote, or whenever you tweet about Wisconsin's election, make sure to support @judgekarofsky. #JillforJustice! And read about the stakes in this race here:
Every dollar makes a huge difference to the WI Supreme Court race, and the Supreme Court race makes a huge difference in ending the Trump era. (That's also why right-wing special interest groups are pouring a fortune into smearing Jill Karofsky.) Help win: wisdems.org/forward

Yesterday, @GovEvers called a legislative special session for 4pm today and urged the GOP legislative leaders, @SpeakerVos and @SenFitzgerald, to pass a bill delaying Tuesday's election until May 19 and mailing every registered voter a ballot. It is now 4pm. 1/
It is now 4:21pm. Per @patrickdmarley's in-person reporting, not a single Republican senator showed up. The special session lasted 5 seconds. The assembly session is expected to begin soon, and end similarly. The GOP leadership just flunked its test.
And now it's official: GOP Assembly, led by Robin Vos, is refusing to heed the governor's call to postpone and mail ballots in an election Tuesday where dozens of poll workers and hundreds or thousands of in-person voters are likely to have COVID-19.

Yesterday, @JoeBiden endorsed @judgekarofsky!
"The stakes are too high for Wisconsin workers and families to have Scott Walker and Donald Trump’s handpicked choice on the bench for the next decade. I’m proud to endorse Judge Jill Karofsky for Wisconsin Supreme Court.”
Jill Karofsky has now been endorsed by Biden, Bernie, Pete, Warren, Castro — and many other leaders who believe that courts should deliver equal justice, not GOP and special interest giveaways

Yesterday, Trump was asked about the call to delay the Wisconsin election, and said it was probably a response to his tweet re-endorsing Dan Kelly. Which is totally false. But shows that Trump is literally thinking about how to help Kelly when he should be dealing with COVID-19.

30 seconds ago, the deadline passed to request an absentee ballot in Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election. What we do next could decide whether Trump gets another four years as president. Every dollar now makes a huge difference. Donate here, RT, & read on: wisdems.org/forward
The WI GOP has refused calls to delay the election & switch to vote by mail, despite the obvious threat to public health of in-person voting. But 1.2 million Wisconsinites have already requested absentee ballots. Now our sprint begins to get them returned.
We have one of the strongest field teams in the nation, now working virtually, around the clock, to follow up with people who requested absentee ballots and help them return valid votes. And to mobilize an army of volunteers to do the same. By every possible non-in-person means.

What’s happening in Wisconsin absolute travesty

State won’t delay April 7 election & GOP legislature refusing to mail ballots to every voter in order to protect right-wing state Supreme Court seat

This is voter suppression on steroids

motherjones.com/politics/2020/…
Top election official in Milwaukee tells me city forced to cut number of polling places from 180 to 5 because of covid. “There’s nothing fair about this election” he says

By refusing to mail ballots to every registered voter WI GOP deliberately trying to suppress black votes
Federal court just declined to move WI primary but relaxed stringent absentee ballot rules:

-Voters have until Friday to request absentee ballot

-Ballots mailed by April 13 will count

-You don't need witness signature if you can't obtain one

Here’s a thread on Wisconsin’s voter purge lawsuit.
An Ozaukee County judge ruled Friday that more than 200,000 people must be quickly removed from the rolls because they likely have moved. He said state law is clear that this must happen 30 days after notifying voters that they are believed to have moved.

jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
The ruling has sparked strong responses from both sides. Democrats are calling it a move to disenfranchise voters. Republicans say the judge is simply following a law that ensures the voter rolls are accurate.
