Judges in Wisconsin have recently made some important decisions about the April 7th election in response to the coronavirus crisis. These starkly different decisions illustrate two very different beliefs about the role of the judicial branch.
In wake of COVID-19, telehealth regulations have been loosened; those changes should remain even after crisis is over.
Bernie Sanders and Wisconsin Democrats want to delay the state’s April 7 primary to keep voters safe, But, so far, the election’s still on.
Humphrey shares a letter from an elections official suggesting elected officials come work the polls.

I stay home to help halt the COVID-19 pandemic. It is as if we all have gone back in time to a more sedentary life. There is only occasional traffic down my rural road – a single car, the milk truck bound for the dairy farm a mile west, the UPS truck making deliveries. There is little else and it is so quiet. It brings back other times when life paused.

Regular elections are a symbol of both the strength of our civil institutions and ability to come together under the most trying of circumstances.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is not a failure. It is, in fact, the opposite.
As perhaps the single most liberal, soft-on-crime judge on the single most liberal, soft-on-crime court in the state, Karofsky has repeatedly bent over backwards to not hold violent criminals accountable.
Judge Karofsky is prepared to serve on the Supreme Court and deserves an overwhelming victory.
The amendment, commonly known as Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, seeks to strengthen the rights of crime victims to ensure their rights are equal alongside those of the accused. No more, no less.
Imagine the potential psychological and human toll if this shutdown continues indefinitely, unemployment reaches 20% or higher, as some now predict, and we sink into a deep recession or depression.
