INBOX: Longtime conservative activist Bob Dohnal criticizes @AndrewHittGOP and GOP Waukesha Co Chair Terry Dittrich for their opposition to a post by GOP staffer Keith Best that they saw as demeaning to @KamalaHarris.
Dohnal: “GOP leaders develop some BALLS for once.”
Dohnal is also critical of @journalsentinel and me for the story: “The Journal evidently doesn’t have Google on their computers to check it out.”
In a followup email to me, Dittrich, Hitt and numerous others, Dohnal calls Hitt and Dittrich "chickenshits" and says he will give an award to Keith Best next week.

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.
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."

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.
