Wisconsin Republicans say Tuesday primary should take place as planned

Republican leaders in the Wisconsin Legislature are rejecting proposals from Governor Tony Evers to make major changes to the upcoming April 7 election. Evers asked the legislature to hold a special session on Saturday afternoon to vote on making the election almost entirely vote-by-mail and on significantly extending the deadlines for voting.

Evers, a Democrat, asked state lawmakers to vote on a plan to send an absentee ballot by May 19 to every registered voter in the state who has not yet requested one. Under the proposal, the deadline to send in ballots would also be extended to May 26. The proposal also sought to scrap in-person voting, in essence, except for a provision to provide access for disabled voters and voters who have other difficulties or are unable to read, write or understand English.

But in a joint statement, Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos and Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said they are not planning to take up Evers' proposals and believe "the election should continue as planned on Tuesday."

"If the governor had legitimate concerns, we could have come to a bipartisan solution weeks ago," the joint statement said. "The only bipartisan discussion we've had was to ensure the election would continue safely and to maximize the opportunity to vote absentee."

Meaning Republicans don't hurry on anything unless it pads their pocket.

1. I say they should too. If you have relatives who are

Republican, you may want to avoid them for about 3 weeks after their convention, cause there are going to be a lot of sick people leave that arena.
