.@GovEvers administration is asked why the virus situation in Wisconsin is worse than other states.

"This fundamentally stems from the ruling in mid May that restricted many of the tools that we have to mitigate this disease," Palm says.
@GovEvers Palm says Wisconsin has seen a "slow burn" that never reached a low enough level of infection to put the state in a better position now.
@GovEvers Evers says GOP legislative leaders' messaging on the pandemic has been inconsistent with the severity of the threat of the virus and has made it "damn hard" to get compliance.

"That sends a message of what we're trying to accomplish is baloney. It's not baloney," he says.
@GovEvers Westergaard says it's highly likely deaths will increase unless behavior changes significantly.

"We are in a crisis," he says.
@GovEvers "I fear that the cases numbers and the death numbers are going to get higher unless we do that relatively urgently," Westergaard says.

BREAKING: A Milwaukee city election official fraudulently requested military absentee ballots and sent them to Republican state Rep. Janel Brandtjen, Mayor Cavalier Johnson says. She has been fired, Johnson says.
The official is Milwaukee Election Commission deputy director Kimberly Zapata.

Zapata sent them to Brandtjen to alert her of election fraud being possible, election commission executive director Claire Woodall-Vogg says.
Earlier this year, a Racine County man who believes Donald Trump won Wisconsin in 2020 (he didn't) fraudulently requested absentee ballots for Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Racine Mayor Cory Mason to show voter fraud is possible. He has been charged. jsonline.com/story/news/202…

Good morning from the Dane County Courthouse where former Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman is scheduled to testify in another lawsuit over the Assembly's handling of public records requests seeking information about his taxpayer-funded review of the 2020 election.
Gableman is calmly answering questions from an attorney for American Oversight, which filed the lawsuit, with a much different demeanor than his last appearance in court where he blasted the judge and refused to answer questions.
Gableman testifies that in the first weeks of the 2020 election review, he worked out of the New Berlin Public Library because he had no money, no office, and no computer equipment.

Remington also orders Gableman to pay $2,000 per day until he has produced all records responsive to American Oversight's requests.
Remington said in his order "Wisconsin demands more from its attorneys. Gableman's demeaning conduct has discredited the profession and every other person sworn 'to commit themselves to live by the constitutional processes of our system.'"

NEWS: Republican commissioner Dean Knudson is resigning from the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
Knudson says he will leave as soon as replacement is in place. Knudson was a key player in creating the commission and has disagreed in recent months with Vos and other Republicans over whether widespread election fraud affected the outcome of the 2020 election.
"My core values are to practice service above self and to display personal integrity. And to me that integrity demands acknowledging the truth even when the truth is painful. In this case, the painful truth is that President Trump lost the election in 2020 ..."
