SOMETIMES CORRUPTING A STATE SUPREME COURT, ALONG WITH THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, DOESN'T GUARANTEE VICTORY.

CORRUPTING THE STATE SUPREME COURT, 
ALONG WITH THE U.S. SUPREME COURT, WASN'T ENOUGH 
FOR THE FACE OF "FASCISM", DONALD TRUMP AND HIS
RUSSIAN...uh..."REPUBLICAN" ALLIES TO ACHIEVE 
VICTORY IN WISCONSIN.

(FROM YAHOO NEWS, CHRISTOPHER WILSON.)
Last week, Republican officials and conservative judges pushed 
for Wisconsin to have in-person voting even though the state was 
in the middle of a public health emergency with the coronavirus 
pandemic. It led to some absurd visuals, such as Wisconsin state 
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a leading GOP figure, telling voters 
it was safe to go to the polls even as he was protected by a mask, 
goggles and a gown.
The reason for their focus on the race was protecting a state Supreme 
Court seat held by conservative Justice Daniel Kelly. With a competitive 
Democratic primary also on the April ballot, the push to have an election 
despite warnings to avoid large gatherings was seen as an attempt to 
suppress the vote, particularly in the Democratic stronghold of Milwaukee. 
In the state’s largest city, just five of the usual 180 polling places were open, 
leading to hours-long waits for voters. An attempt by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers 
to delay in-person voting by executive order was overturned by the state 
Supreme Court, with the four conservative justices outvoting 
the two liberal justices and Kelly abstaining.
The United States Supreme Court also ruled against the Democrats, with 
the five Republican-appointed justices voting on the eve of the Wisconsin 
election to strike down a six-day extension for returning absentee ballots. 
The four Democratic appointees dissented.
Despite the court rulings and vocal support from President Trump, when the
 results were announced Monday Kelly failed to retain his seat, losing by 11 
points to progressive challenger Jill Karofsky. Every state Supreme Court 
justice voted absentee, including the four who had ruled against delaying 
in-person voting.

PACKERLAND SHOULD BE PROUD. JUST REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN 
THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. DON'T BE VICTIMIZED TWICE BY BOGUS
ELECTION RETURNS.
