Now that Trump lost the in-person Wisconsin Supreme Court race, he's sweating about the Wisconsin Congressional special election on May 12—which the GOP is also ensuring is in-person. He's endorsing the Republican. Chip in to help great Dem Tricia Zunker: secure.actblue.com/donate/tricia-…
Republican state senator Tom Tiffany is one of the GOP carrying Trump's water and refusing to help folks vote safely via absentee. Trump is returning the favor by tweeting his fundraising link. Let's make that tactic backfire, shall we? Share & donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/tricia-…
The WI GOP is refusing to follow the lead of states across the country, red and blue, that have switched to vote by mail in order to protect voters of all parties—and the public at large. Tom Tiffany is part of the problem.

Republican reality-TV tea partier Sean Duffy used to represent this district, which he carried by 21 points in 2018. Tricia's an extraordinary candidate. We can be the wind in her sails. I have a hunch that the margins will be very different this year.

Donald Trump has been tweeting the donation link for Tom Tiffany (known locally as “Toxic Tom”), who is running in Wisconsin’s reddest Congressional district for the May 12 special election. But his Dem opponent, @TriciaforWI, outraised him! Help her surge:secure.actblue.com/donate/tricia-…
Wisconsin’s 7th is a massive district—the northern third of the state. Very rural; gerrymandered to cut out blue cities. Trump won here by 21%. Even Jill Karofsky, en route to a 10.6pt blue landslide this April 7, lost the 7th by 6%. For Zunker to outraise Tom Tiffany? Huge.
Tom Tiffany never met a polluter he didn’t like. And he was only too happy to support the WI GOP in forcing an in person election on April 7. In fact, his cabal has ensured that May 12’s election will be in-person too. So naturally Trump is boosting him.

Dan Kelly, the Walker-appointed, Trump-endorsed Wisconsin Supreme Court justice who lost the April 7 election, will hold office through July 31. Today, he announced that he's un-recusing himself in the WI voter purge, which was previously deadlocked 3-3.

Because we defeated Kelly on April 7, the voter purge will take place before Kelly's term ends on July 31, which means we'll have time to work with purged folks to get them re-registered and eligible to vote on Nov 3.
For the most in-depth reporting on the plot to purge Wisconsin voters—and the sordid history of purging as a tool of voter suppression—read @AriBerman's essential piece in @MotherJones: motherjones.com/politics/2020/…

🚨In 14 days, Northern Wisconsin will go to the polls in person AGAIN—because our state's GOP state legislature refuses to go full vote-at-home. One of the legislators behind this travesty, Tom Tiffany, is running for Congress. Support Tricia Zunker & RT: secure.actblue.com/donate/zunker-…
@TriciaforWI has been a champion of making democracy safe through voting at home. Running for Congress, she's calling on voters to cast absentee ballots—and pushing to move the election to all-mail. Dems have her back, organizing to support absentee votes.
The Wisconsin GOP is using its typical ugly playbook—using coded messages that try to weaponize fear of "criminals" (guess who they're talking about?) in order to divide voters. Let's make these atrocious attacks backfire—chip in to help Tricia:
