Senate Democrats are introducing a resolution to require everyone in the state Capitol wear face masks unless they have "a certified medical reason or excuse."

GOP Senate Majority Leader moves to table (or reject) the resolution.
Resolution co-author @TimCarpenterMKE says he will take anyone out to dinner if they can blow out a candle while wearing a face mask.
Senate Republicans reject resolution to require face masks in the state Capitol.
Senate Democrats propose a new resolution related to "the security of the state Senate." Senate Prez Kapenga says it's not relevant to the organization of the Senate and shouldn't be taken up.
Sen. Roger Roth says he is working on a bill related to Capitol security.
And we have another caucus -- this time the Republicans.

It looks like @GovEvers may have a deal with at least Senate Republicans on a new COVID-19 deal.
@GovEvers .@GovEvers: "I’ve been grateful to work together with Republican Majority Leader LeMahieu to find common ground and pass a bill on COVID-19 that reflects a good faith effort in compromise and bipartisanship."
@GovEvers "Although it's not the COVID compromise we originally proposed, AB 1 as amended by the Senate is a good start to support our state’s response to this pandemic. The Assembly should pass AB 1 as it was amended today and send it to my desk for my signature without delay.”

The Wisconsin Supreme Court rules 4-3 not to accept a lawsuit brought by President Donald Trump's campaign challenging the Nov. 3 election results.
Conservative justice Brian Hagedorn joined the court's liberal minority to reject the petition for original action on the basis that lawsuits over recounts are required by state law to be filed in circuit court, where fact-finding can occur.
"We do well as a judicial body to abide by time-tested judicial norms, even — and maybe especially — in high-profile cases. Following the law governing challenges to election results is no threat to the rule of law," Hagedorn wrote.
