Refusing to accept election results and to work with the political opposition are dangerous precedents that pose an existential risk to our democracy and to the Wisconsin Idea both at home and throughout the nation.
Because it really matters.
They are both captives of Donald Trump’s new Republican Party and deserve to be defeated in tomorrow’s election.
A champion of education funding, helping our schools’ national ranking rise. Tim Michels would take us backward.
Even us Trump apostates support Tim Michels and Ron Johnson!
Democratic Senate candidate Mandela Barnes and Gov. Tony Evers are both pragmatists who understand government at its best solves problems.
Gov. Evers wants local governments to be allowed to increase their tax levies by a minimum of 2 percent, even if there wasn’t enough net new construction to justify it. That means everyone’s property taxes would go up to fill that gap.
It’s clear that all of this aggressive voting is not a sign of civic health. Quite the opposite. We were a stronger, better and happier democracy when turnout was low and people griped that there just wasn’t much difference between the two parties.
As we pack our polling places around Wisconsin and the nation, make sure to say “thank you” to the folks who are doing their civic duty to ensure this essential function of democracy runs smoothly.

Crime has been a driving factor this election cycle; Dorow’s court moves to another disturbing case.
The stakes are high. We are in the midst of a health care crisis, an economic crisis, and a moral crisis. But our Republican leaders don’t seem to care.
There is no infrastructure for moderates.
Now that the fallout of Justice Sam Alito’s tortured decision has become deafening and the Kansas referendum’s clear message has hit home, some GOP candidates suddenly have rethought their rigid positions.
Gov. Tony Evers has generously given taxpayer money to Planned Parenthood over the course of the pandemic. Now Planned Parenthood is paying the Democrat back.
