Kristin Brey: This election is stressing out Americans. In swing state Wisconsin, it’s worse.
One good side to the stress: People are motivated to volunteer and record numbers have voted early.

Dan Knodl: Your vote matters
I cannot stress enough the importance of voting. It is the bedrock of our democracy to keep our constitutional republic thriving. We must not take this right for granted; make your voice heard.

Sarah Godlewski: Let’s elect leaders who make it easier to vote
While we need to elect candidates who will smash the barriers that are holding working-class voters back and make Election Day a federal holiday, we also need to elect leaders who will fight for working people instead of corporations. Our voice matters. And it starts with making the time to vote.

Margaret “Maggie” Daun: Please leave election administration to the experts
Local leaders on the margins of the election system should not determine if drop boxes are used.

Dave Cieslewicz: Two good signs for Harris
The last Marquette poll before the election is out and it holds few surprises.

Dominic Ceci: Three preelection topics for Wisconsin investors
The looming election weighs on many investors’ minds. Here are three big reasons why history suggests you can set the election to the side when conducting financial planning.

David Blaska: Democrats are in a dither over non-endorsements
Over 250,000 Washington Post readers are canceling their subscriptions because the newspaper, by order of its owner, won’t endorse Kamala Harris for President. Or anyone else.

Gregory Humphrey: Katharine Graham would be loudly cursing Jeff Bezos over Washington Post failure to stand up for press freedom
When the Washington Post, a national newspaper renowned for many decades of vital reporting and valued judgments on the Op-Ed pages, decided to end a historically important function of the lifeblood of any newspaper, a tremor of concern was felt from coast to coast.

Iuscely Flores: Life on the line: Watching the election unfold as an undocumented American
We are fighting for our lives, our loved ones, and the dream of one day belonging to the only place millions of us call home. This election feels like a perilous moment in time where everything is hanging in the balance.

Menzie Chinn and Mark Copelovitch: Trump’s economic plan would cost more, drive prices higher
On the basis of economics, the choice is clear. The cost of living, unemployment, and government debt would all be higher under Trump administration.

Terrence Wall: Eric Hovde and Ronald Reagan: The left’s unfair attacks
Like Trump and Hovde, President Reagan also presented an existential threat to the tyranny of the left.

Alex Saloutos: Premature and unjustified: Madison’s referendum to permanently increase property taxes
Why voters should rethink the referendum.

Jason Ilstrup: Support a growing Madison by voting for our schools
With Madison projected to grow by nearly 100,000 residents in the next 25 years, it is critical that we ensure our public schools are fully prepared to meet the needs of both current and future students.

Bill Barth: Talk is over; now it’s in your hands
Government of, by and for the people requires participation at the polls.

Amy Hemmer: Wisconsin’s Eric Hovde hits his stride & surges at the right time
Hovde seems to be making inroads on gaining on Baldwin. The most recent polling has Hovde up by 1 percentage point. It wasn’t that long ago that Baldwin had a 7-point lead. Basically the race is too close to call and Hovde can win this race.

Tom Saler: Economy is the key issue for many voters
Would they benefit from Trump’s plans?

Dave Zweifel: Trump’s answer to every issue: Blame the immigrants
Yes, we have an immigration problem that needs fixing, but we have many more problems that need to be addressed. And the demonization of immigrants is not going to solve them any more than it did back in 1924.

John Torinus: Trump’s tariff panacea backfired in first term
Businesspeople should be scared stiff that Trump’s economic goofiness will trigger another round of high inflation and even a recession.


Mark Belling: Nag, nag, nag
Democrats try to guilt-trip America into voting against Trump.
