Dem Patty Schachtner scored an upset special election win in the Republican-leaning 10th SD January 16 as Dems immediately portrayed the victory over GOP Rep. Adam Jarchow as a sign a wave is headed toward Wisconsin this fall.
The GAB and its staffers had to go — but constantly reconstituting the agencies dedicated to enforcing clean elections isn’t a good look for either party. Find a model and stick to it — micromanaging elections investigators is bound to bring accusations of skullduggery and hijinks.
Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald is purging public watchdog agency employees and civil servants, for partisan reasons, without a hearing, openly and in broad daylight.
Michael Screnock blows off candidate forums, bets on special interest money.
Schachtner‘s successful run drew a template for Democrats who want to get rid of Walker and his legislative toadies.

Getting assistance to those who need it and getting rid of fraud are goals we all share. But let’s be smart about the rules. Unnecessary or politically motivated rules result in wasted dollars and fewer folks signing up who truly need help.
A state licensing rule that requires a dramatically higher score on the national chiropractor board exam than almost every other state.
