"The sane Governors are gonna ensure a simple rules applies:"
Simple democratic processes for elections - in your dreams.
Do you support the actions of the Wisconsin GOP controlled Senate ?
Republicans in Wisconsin are simply defying the results of local elections and blocking actions of the Democrat Governor.
Here's how it works.
GOP members of various State boards and Commissions refuse to leave office when their fixed term expires (one over a year ago) as their replacements have not yet been confirmed.
The replacements have not been confirmed because the Republican controlled State Senate refuses to vote on the nominees of the Democrat Governor.
The State Supreme Court ruled that whilst unusual, the GOP blocking is not actually illegal.
Next step for the GOP is the control of Election Boards to continue their redistricting / gerrymandering.
"Wisconsin Supreme Court Backs GOP Scheme To Rob Dem Governor Of Appointment Powers
A new decision "continues to underscore the erosion of democratic institutions at the hands of Republicans in this state," Gov. Tony Evers said.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court endorsed a blatant power grab by the Republican-controlled state Senate on Wednesday, using a case focused on technical bureaucratic matters to endorse a scheme to seize control of state boards and commissions by declining to confirm appointments from Democratic Gov. Tony Evers. "
"In 2012’s state legislative races, for instance, Republican candidates garnered 46% of the statewide vote but won 60% of the seats in both the state House of Representatives and the state Senate.
In 2018, when Evers narrowly defeated former Gov. Scott Walker, the GOP won just 45% of votes cast in state Assembly elections, but took 65% of its seats."
