Governor Of Wisconsin Puns

EDIT: Oops... spoke too soon! Just got word that we are working tomorrow. We’ll see how long that lasts.

After a surprise win by Democrats on January 17th in the Wisconsin state Senate 10th district, Governor Scott Walker will not be holding additional special elections to replace a state Senator in De Pere, WI and a state Rep. in Lodi, WI. Similarly, Michigan Governor Rick Snyder has delayed the special election of Detroit area federal Rep. John Conyers (D) until the mid-term elections on November 6th. And after the special election that saw Sen. Doug Jones win the federal seat in Alabama, the Alabama House has voted to end special elections altogether and allow the Governors appointee to serve up to two years.

What is the constitutionality of these decisions?

How does this affect representative democracy in those areas?

What precedent does this set for future special elections?

Why is the Biden campaign telling senior citizens to go to their polling places to vote today?

Why is the DNC threatening states with delegate penalties if they dare to change the way their primaries run to keep people safe?

Can anybody explain the logic of these moves to me?

I know that neither the Democratic nor the Republican party cares whether US citizens go bankrupt because they cannot afford medical treatment during a pandemic, but would the Democratic party really rather kill voters than work with states to move to vote by mail primaries during a pandemic?

The Republican legislature of Wisconsin recently passed a series of bills that have the intent of sharing the power of the executive branch with legislative by involving themselves in several different ways. These bills are not yet law as they await the approval of outgoing governor Scott Walker.

Some of the provisions in the these bills are:

-Giving some appointments to the economic development board to the legislature over the governor's office.

-Prevent the incoming governor from banning guns in the state capital without the legislature's approval.

-No longer could a nominee denied by the state legislature serve provisionally in that office, or be renominated.

-Any names of pardoned or commuted sentences by the governor could by, by request, given to the state legislature.

Some changes also exist for the incoming AG:

> Under the newly passed measures, the attorney general would need lawmakers’ approval to settle certain suits. Also, the measures would allow legislative leaders to intervene and hire their own lawyers — in addition to the attorney general — if the constitutionality of a law were being challenged. Under the new bills, the attorney general could no longer appoint a solicitor general to represent the state in major lawsuits, and would be restricted in how he spent settlement money, which lawmakers would now oversee.

Tony Evers, the incoming democratic governor has stated on the bills:

> “Wisconsin has never seen anything like this,” Mr. Evers said in a statement. “Wisconsin values of decency, kindness, and finding common ground were pushed aside so a handful of people could desperately usurp and cling to power while hidden away from the very people they represent.”

Martha Laning, the chairwoman of the state’s Democratic Party, said:

> "This is as brazen as it gets, to do this after an election you don’t like.”

Robin Vos, the Republican speaker of the assembly, has said:

> “What it does is make sure we have an equal amount of power at the table."

I have two questions about this:

1: Are these powers of the Wisconsin governor's office and AG overly-broad compared to other governorships and AG offices?

2: Are there any federal powers that can interfere with the rearranging of Wisconsin government?

I've seen articles alluding to such an effort, similar to what was done in North Carolina. I also recently heard that a special session will be called in early December and I imagine this is what the main point will be. What is a good strategy to fight against this?

Steven was not classed as a felon until NOV 9 05,when Kratz entered him as such so LE could charge Steven for possession of a firearm in the Teresa Halbach case, even though LE wouldn't claim to find the planted bullet until Brendan said they shot her in the garage, months later.
