Elections are so unfair when your side loses. The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is indignant about how “partisan” school board races have become. Because conservatives won a whole bunch of them in the liberal newspaper’s backyard this April.
The “Georgia Election Integrity Act of 2021” imposes new voter identification requirements for absentee ballots, empowers state officials to take over local election’s boards, limits the use of ballot drop boxes and makes it a crime to approach voters in line to give them food and water.
A pair of special-election landslides proves that the party is doing something right.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, explain the importance of Wisconsin to both presidential candidates in a tightly contested election year. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
Three times now just this legislative session, Governor Evers has vetoed tax relief packages sent to his desk, denying Wisconsinites their own hard-earned dollars despite a multi-billion dollar surplus, at a time when taxpayers across the state are feeling the strain of economic uncertainties.
Despite a number of lawmaking session days remaining, Republicans in the State Senate ended their work early, leaving the people’s business unfinished and several strong, bipartisan proposals without the necessary action to become law.
Ezra Klein came to Madison this week and described Wisconsin as, in many ways, the center of politics in America.
Republicans have to be happy with this poll. But there are encouraging signs for Democrats (Baldwin in particular).
Next week, from April 25-27, The Progressive Magazine will commemorate the 100th anniversary of La Follette’s bid for president with a series of programs and events you won’t want to miss.
While the president and Congress fight to expand access to the open internet, the Federal Communications Commission is working to consolidate its power over the web, setting the rules for how the internet is used, by whom, for what and at what price.
Wisconsin health care systems are closing hospitals and halting services exacerbating the access people in rural areas have to providers.
Much of the influx into western Wisconsin is coming from Minnesota. The Badger State in 2021 gained a net of more than 3,000 people and their $243 million in gross income from The Gopher State alone.
There are 43 known fusion companies worldwide and 25 in the United States, with three in Wisconsin: Realta Fusion, Type One Energy and SHINE Technologies, each in different stages of development.
Iran made a major mistake last weekend. Its unprecedented attack on Israel restored some of the global support received by Israel after the Oct. 7 attacks by Hamas terrorists.
Funding Ukraine is a morally correct position to take, as there must be repercussions to audacious and criminal moves by Russia, but they are also a wise investment on the part of the West given the stated desire of Putin to reclaim some of the land that once was a part of the USSR.
Wisconsin attorney general’s office interviewed Kenneth Chesebro, part of ‘active’ probe.
I’ve spent over a decade working on cannabis policy reform in Wisconsin, and I know that our state is ready to legalize. Together, we will make change from the ground up – starting at the grassroots – and work towards equitable, responsible legal marijuana usage in Wisconsin.
Political polarization is bad. That’s one thing we can all agree on, say Democratic and Republican pollsters Celinda Lake and Ed Goeas.
Although his environmental bonafides are still a major part of his persona, he has morphed into a disgruntled politician who claims that Joe Biden represents a bigger threat to U.S. democracy than Donald Trump.
The race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump remains, as expected, neck and neck.
