Sen. Steve Nass (R-Whitewater) wants to end the public health emergency declared by @GovEvers because he views it as illegal.

The Legislature could vote down the emergency declaration. Nass blames @repvos, the Assembly's Republican speaker, for not doing so.
Nass said three people are responsible for a "constitutional crisis" in Wisconsin.

"They are Governor Tony Evers, DHS Secretary-Designee Andrea Palm and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos."
Nass: "Assembly Speaker Vos continues to enable the illegal conduct of this administration by blocking the Legislature from meeting to put an end to the improper emergency declaration and emergency orders issued under it."
Nass was responding to the latest order from @GovEvers' administration, which will require bars, restaurants and stores to operate at 25% capacity starting Thursday.

As it happens, Evers issued his order a day after @SenFitzgerald said he would be open to considering a complete shutdown of bars to fight COVID-19. It's unlikely other Republicans would go along with that.

Republicans are in court to end Wisconsin's mask mandate, but most won't talk about it bit.ly/2GFWudr -- via @MollyBeck, @ericlitke and me
State Sen. @Vanwanggaard says if the court case on ending @GovEvers' mask requirement doesn't go their way, Wisconsin Republicans will come into session soon after the Nov. 3 election to end the mandate.
Wanggaard said he would oppose a mask mandate under any circumstance, even if the COVID-19 outbreak grew 10 times worse.

Partisan infighting handcuffs Wisconsin's ability to fight a surge of coronavirus cases jsonline.com/story/news/pol…
GOP lawmakers are urging a judge to strike down Wisconsin’s mask requirement, but have not come up with their own plan to fight coronavirus.

They’ll try to negotiate with @GovEvers on a new plan if the case goes their way, even though they have barely talked to him for months.
Asked what plan Republicans would put in place if a judge sides with them and strikes down onthe mask rule, @SenFitzgerald said:

“I’m not going to try to rattle a list off. To be quite honest I don’t know what those things would be because that’s what you would negotiate.”

UPDATED: Wisconsin Supreme Court tells election officials to suspend mailing absentee ballots while it considers whether to add Green Party ticket to them bit.ly/3m9ym2W
If the high court orders changes to who is on the ballot, 2.3 ballots would have to be reprinted.

Counties warn that would cost them large sums and result in them missing deadlines that require absentee ballots to be sent to voters by next week.
Up to 378,000 ballots have already been sent to Wisconsin voters, according to court filings tonight.

If the court finds candidates need to be added to the ballot, those voters would have to be sent a second ballot. And then clerks would have to make sure no one voted twice.

.@wisgop's state convention kicks off with a Journey song.

The @wiseye livestream suggests it is lightly attended, at least so far.

wiseye.org/2020/07/11/rep…
The song, of course, is "Don't Stop Believin'," a fairly frequent tune for political events from both parties (as well as "Sopranos" finales).
.@mercedesschlapp tells the crowd that its essential to fully fund the police.

"Do we want to be the next Seattle? Do we want to be the next Minneapolis? Do we want to be the next Chicago?"

The crowd eagerly says "Nooo."
