But the state Supreme Court, which is currently controlled 4-3 by liberal justices, declined to take the case as an original action. The court gave no rationale for its decision

I don't even know how this isn't clearly against the law. They gave no rationale. Was it fear, incompetence or complicity?

I think the silence speaks very clearly on it. Personally I think it is fear.

Cowards and traitors

Liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority on the court. All four liberal justices have endorsed Dane County Judge Susan Crawford, the Democratic-backed candidate.

We need a third party or infiltration.

Okay, how many Wisconsinites can we mobilize? To the streets!

So string them up TOO.

With the election being Tuesday, this wasn't going to be litigated with this court anyway. This may look like cowardice, but it's pragmatism.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's what cowards often say, yes.

[–] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Provide your evidence to the contrary instead of an ad hominem.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And how, exactly, do you expect that to happen, coward?

[–] Powderhorn@beehaw.org 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Were this a community I modded, you'd already be taking a vacation. Responding to a request for data after an ad hominem by doubling down with an ad hominem is not how Beehaw works. That's not be(e)ing nice.

Interesting that you don't apply your own intellectual or behavioral standards to yourself, coward.

I am a mod here. Just not in this community. You've now tripled down. I was originally suggesting a seven day ban here, but I'm going to move that suggestion to 30 sitewide. By all means, grab a shovel and keep going.

What does the law actually say? Can he pay them for voting, as long as he's not paying them to vote a particular way?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 2 points 1 day ago

As I understand it, the clear answer to your question is “no he cannot.”
