Nearly every voter in next year’s presidential election will be casting votes either on paper or on an electronic machine that has a paper backup. And almost all of those ballots will be counted by a machine. This approach balances security, accuracy, speed and voter confidence — and still allows for selected hand counts after Election Day.
While Republicans want to force both the city and county of Milwaukee to help pay for stadium renovations, they wouldn’t necessarily have a seat on a new stadium board.
In 2010, the legislature put politics aside and passed a bipartisan shield law to protect journalists from revealing their sources. It should do so again to protect media outlets from being sued into oblivion — no matter who is doing the suing.
It is going to be hard to stay current on my list of reasons to vote for or against President Joe Biden and former president Trump in the 2024 presidential elections.
While some Republicans attempted to suggest that there was a point to their impeachment inquiry of Biden, Grothman in his opening statement simply admitted, “We have all kinds of smoke, maybe no fire.”
Once again, poor kids in America are struggling. We’ve rejoined the outliers among our peer nations.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss the lawsuit challenging Wisconsin’s 1849 abortion ban and Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin’s decision to resume abortion services at its Milwaukee and Madison clinics. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
The Senate’s bogus vote last week to remove Wolfe was bad enough before five GOP election deniers in the Assembly floated a notion to impeach her.
Vos has made national news recently for his threats to impeach newly elected Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Janet Protasiewicz if she dares to help the Court’s new liberal majority overturn the Republicans’ gerrymandered maps.
Second Republican debate did nothing to alter Trump’s dominance.
Is this really what conservatives want? Another show? If so, debates like Thursday night’s are the ones we deserve.
Striking the buzzword as an appeal for cash donations for their struggling, and in some cases utterly impotent campaigns, the candidates attacked transgender people.
If Donald Trump were elected, it would weaken the Western alliance and strengthen ties with autocracies like Vladimir Putin’s Russia.
UW-Madison finally grappling with how to tell the real story of its odious one-time leader.
One important opportunity for lawmakers to demonstrate their collaborative chops is authorizing community solar, a commonsense form of renewable energy that will promote energy independence, boost local contractors and support good-paying jobs.
Millions of Americans have become financial backers of the CCP without knowing it. Their savings are funding companies that build weapons for China’s People’s Liberation Army as well as companies involved in the ongoing genocide in Xinjiang.
Robin Vos, speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, has a longstanding commitment to smashmouth politics. The state is worse off for it.
Using every pseudo-legal tactic to fight fair maps and muzzle Justice Protasiewicz.
In a nation that prides itself on equal opportunity, Congress must prioritize the extension of funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program so we may continue our work toward closing the digital divide.
I don’t know whether we should call the “Green New Deal” a bubble, a psychological mania, or a popular delusion yet … but I have decided to keep my gasoline powered car, trim my position in Tesla, and add to my positions in Exxon-Mobil, Chevron, and Conoco Phillips.
