There’s no evidence to support the idea that the Electoral College makes less-populous states more relevant — or that candidates for office won’t travel to those areas if they can “camp out” in high-population areas to win an election.

It took a candidate as egregious as Donald Trump to lose in the face of Republican partisans willing to use the power of government to suppress the vote. But all of those tactics still could not withstand the dedication of an electorate committed to making their votes count.
What O’Donnell and Gabelman are discussing is not “vote fraud.” It is a voter clerical error that’s fixable.
Did the Wisconsin Elections Commission issue unlawful directives to local clerks?
Do not be tricked into thinking America changed overnight with this election. Police brutality, systemic racism and marginalization of many communities will continue under Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
Milwaukee voters, reflecting the diversity of this country, gave Biden-Harris the win here. Along, of course, with Madison, a bastion of progressivism in Wisconsin and the nation.
The Wisconsin economy would recover much faster if the state held the national eye a while longer by demonstrating it can stop the spread of COVID-19.
Madison protesters sacrifice symbol of abolition, equality and freedom for Black Lives Matter dogma.
Biden’s “Delaware Way” should play well in Wisconsin.
Trumpism is still with us, but Trump will no longer be able to desecrate our nation’s highest office in a manner unimaginable to his 44 predecessors, presidents who mostly defined the job as representing all Americans and not just an adoring and cultish subset of us.
The slim margin raises the question of whether the decision to keep the Green Party off the ballot in 2020 over a technicality decisively tipped the Wisconsin election in Biden’s favor.
We need to review what is encouraged and what is required of a U.S. President. Trump has shown the weaknesses in our systems and now is the time to fix them.
While the President of the United States, his campaign, and some of the Milwaukee conservative talk radio hosts like WISN’s Dan O’Donnell and Vicki McKenna are spinning tales of vote fraud, the people that actually crunch the numbers have a different story to tell.
While convictions may be difficult to achieve, election experts say the circumstances were ripe for gaming the 2020 presidential election.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. The ugly truth is that a fair number of Republican leaders in Wisconsin are giddy over the state’s election results. They
Kaplan interviews Bill Melms, chief medical officer, Marshfield Clinic.
Most conversations about systemic racism center the stories of the harms to people of color while ignoring that White people benefit tremendously from it. This is a tough pill to swallow.
Voters in 11 more counties, plus three municipalities, overwhelmingly approved the advisory referendums calling for independent, nonpartisan redistricting.
The latest word salad from Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is another example of what is terribly wrong with the Republican Party, at a time when there must be a higher appreciation for the needs of the nation.
