The Wisconsin GOP legislature used taxpayer funds to hire an ultra-partisan former state Supreme Court Justice to "investigate" 2020's election. Today, he said he doesn't understand how elections work.

Some thoughts on this. 1/

If your new mechanic is raising up your car on the lift for an inspection and casually mentions that he doesn’t have a comprehensive understanding—or even any understanding—of how cars work, get your car out of there as fast as possible.

If you’re about to be put under anesthesia and the surgeon says she doesn’t want understand how hearts work, find a way to get out of the operating room.

If your skydiving instructor points out that "most people don't have a comprehensive understanding, or even any understanding, of how parachutes work," and then cheerfully adds "myself included!"—go back to your seat, rebuckle your safety belt, and demand a refund.

Michael Gableman's ignorance surrounding elections—and inability to even send a simple email message that doesn't raise major security flags from IT departments, or issue a typo-free subpoena—illustrates what a complete sham this GOP "investigation" is.

The @RepVos/@WisGOP attack on Wisconsin's transparent, legitimate, certified, recounted, confirmed 2020 election is about one thing: creating a pretext to undermine future elections. It's a ghastly, gaseous waste of public money and time in order to supplicate to Trump, who lost.

There's really just one way to answer the attack: we've got to reelect @GovEvers, who believes in democracy and has demonstrated that he'll back that up with his veto pen. Evers is the last line of defense for our democracy. Let's ensure he's there for four more years.

Postscript: sigh.
