Why can't Scott Walker obey the law?

The news even said he's scared of Democrats winning after the last special election and the Koch brothers told him no.

No as in “no more special elections” or “no more money for you”?

I would have to verify with the bill but I think it was to stop all special elections as being a waste of money and "against the voice of the people". Roll Eyes

Elections are now against the voice of the people?  We're reaching new levels of doublethink.

There are a variety of special election laws around the country, and I’m ambivalent about which model is Best. That being said, what WI was up to was very capricious.

God, Walker is such a shameless hack. Hoping for a big Dallet victory next week to send him running scared.

So these districts are definitely winnable by Democrats who actually campaign @Hillary

I'd say both elections are tossups based on those stats. The senate race is tilt R, however, and if I feel bold I might say the house race is tilt D.

Every WI Dem needs to start calling him #SlimyScott. It fits him perfectly and it's catchy!

I'm not the best with what's going on outstate so I'll leave that to the others.

As for me I'm just surprised Walker didn't try and go to the SC but knowing some of the members they probably told him it would be a bad idea.

AD-42 is definitely more likely than SD-01; but with the Democrats seeing an almost 20 point swing in the last set of special elections, anything is possible.

Both of those are, especially given how Democrats picked up a seat in the deepest R parts of central western WI. The Door county seat seems like an easy pickup given the precedent so far.

Population wise Door County only makes up like 1/6 of this district. Most of the population is in the southern part of the district. The Democrat will need to overperform in the cities and villages in the south such as Kimberly, Two Rivers, Little Chute, and the portion of Appleton that's in this district, in addition to Door County.

Hope he does well. I want to see more of his types running everywhere in the Midwest, and less bland Ossoff clones.

They realized how bad this would hurt them if they kept pushing it. At least they're learning something in the era of Trump. They can't rely on blaming Obama to win votes anymore.
