4. Test a mail only election with the 7th

This would be a great test for a mail only election. Not only a federal election, but a test of how well the USPS can deliver it. I worked with direct mailings, in my career and all I knew and still know, as friends, have every confidence that they can safely and effectively handle a mail only election for the 7th. The population is 710,000 people, of which maybe 500,000 are voting age?

Most of the issues with mail ballots occur within the county & municipal clerk's offices. Not the Post Office.

This race is heavily favored to GOPs, with a R+7 rating, thanks to the horrific gerrymandering that the state's GOPer's entrapped the state's population under. We live in 8 Congressionally bound oppressive districts.

On April 7, 2020 Wisconsin voters put the GOP on notice with strong winds of change. The NRA has lost it's paranoid grip on Wisconsin, as has the hate filled conservative mantra that immigrants are gonna get ya. Well, Trump got ya, right by the short hairs on a teeny tiny handed virus and no plan to save the economy afterwards.

The Special Election for the Wisconsin Congressional 7th District is another major step, voters in Wisconsin can take to fight gerrymandering and scare the hell out of every Republican in America, with a simple postage paid envelope.
