The recent Virginia elections suggest Democrats still struggle mightily in rural America.
Huge increase in Republican turnout. Perhaps ‘critical race theory’ was a factor.
Don’t believe mainstream interpretations of the gubernatorial election in Virginia.
The commission’s final product would convert the long-time Republican district — a district that has not elected a Democrat to the House since 1993 — Into one much more advantageous for Democrats.
The process and results of the PMC maps leave a lot to be desired. Absent within the process was a clear understanding of what was needed for majority minority districts—most of which are situated in the city of Milwaukee (due to population and hyper-segregation)—to remain viable.
Paul Soglin has had a profound influence on the city he adopted when he came to Madison to attend the University of Wisconsin in the ’60s.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, debate the political impact of Republicans’ anti-abortion push following the GOP-controlled Legislature sending a series of abortion bills to Gov. Tony Evers’ desk, where they’ll meet likely vetoes. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
It’s more important to these GOPers to try and embarrass President Joe Biden then it is to actually do some good for the people.
We should expect Justice Dallet to step aside should former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder and his liberal gerrymandering group take GOP political maps to court as promised.
The UN climate summit likely focused attention and even rallied public opinion, but it will take industry and research hubs such as those already working together in Wisconsin to meet the technically challenging goals set by world leaders.
One major reason we find ourselves hurtling toward a global climate catastrophe is the uncounted millions in advertising, public relations, support of pseudoscience and lobbying spent by these energy companies to downplay the problem and to shift blame.
With this week’s inflation numbers, getting it under control has to now become the new priority.
Whether he was a misguided kid or bloodthirsty vigilante is subject to political interpretation, but a concrete fact is that Rittenhouse stepped into the vacuum of lawlessness with the intent of restoring order, and he did so only because Kenosha’s mayor and Wisconsin’s governor refused to.
At the Urban Spaceship Conference at Nō Studios in Milwaukee, The Recombobulation Area’s Dan Shafer moderated a panel discussion on this big topic.
Businesses using UAS are well-advised to become acquainted with and stay on top of the very fluid and developing area of drone law.
It is our right, of course, to protest the wars our leaders begin as long as we ensure that the men and women who serve in those wars don’t become collateral damage when they do finally return home.
This Nov. 11, as we remember and thank the men and women who dedicate their lives to defending our country, let’s also commit to narrowing the justice gap that all too often can mean fighting altogether different battles on the home front.
Unlike the Republicans that are now outraged by what happened in one nursing home, the question of how to cast ballots for those on the edge is very personal to me.
McCarthy would be particularly proud of Michael Gableman, who, for the sheer audacity of his presentation to the Assembly Campaigns and Elections Committee on Wednesday, wins the McCarthyism award.
Gov. Tony Evers’ so-called People’s Maps are so awful even his fellow Democrats have rejected them.
