Obama Attorney General Eric Holder and his Washington, D.C.-based special interest group are behind the legal push to force Wisconsin taxpayers to pay for special elections for seats that will be filled in a few months in the normal elections.
Nomination papers for candidates running in the 2 special elections are due by 4/17/18. Candidates for the fall elections can begin to circulate nomination papers on 4/15/18.
Nomination papers for the fall elections are due by 6/1/18. The special elections for 2 vacant legislative seats will be held on 6/12/18. In other words, candidates for the fall elections will be officially on the ballot before the special elections are held.
The members of the state Legislature will adjourn at the start of April and will not be back until a new Legislature is seated after the fall elections.
Eric Holder and the other liberals from Washington, D.C. are using the situation in Wisconsin to raise money for their battles in the fall.
Holder’s group wants to win elections for governor with the hopes that they can use redistricting to permanently change the makeup of the U.S. House of Representatives and put Nancy Pelosi back in charge as speaker.
