Can't Make This Up: All WI Supreme Court Justices Voted Absentee

[kpete]

You can't make it up: Every Wisconsin Supreme Court justice voted absentee, including the 4 conservatives whose ruling required in-person voting to proceed & blocked postponing the WI Supreme Court election to instead allow for expanded absentee voting

When the state Supreme Court took up Gov. Tony Evers' last-minute order to delay the April 7 election, they didn't have to worry about one possible consequence of their decision.

No matter what, they wouldn't be joining thousands of other voters standing in line at the polls the next day.

That's because all seven justices had already voted absentee, either by going in early and voting in person or by mailing in ballots.

"They are luckier than the thousands of others who tried to do the same and were unable to," said state Sen. Chris Larson, a Milwaukee Democrat running for Milwaukee County exec.

1. Hopefully someone will turn that into an ad for Democratic officials at all levels.

This is akin to Republicans being too fearful to face their constituents.

3. karma. Wisconsin state GOP thought they had the election in the bag as so many of their voters do

vote by mail BUT many also do same day voting. The democrats GOTV effort was superb and GOP's failed miserably.

Karma

4. The WI supreme court judges put citizens in harms way

Forced them to make a life and death decision to vote all so a conservative judge would be elected. Fortunately they lost, but their true colors are there for all to see. They are not pro-life, they are pro-power and pro-corruption in my opinion.

5. Senator Burr, and his ilk, come to mind.
