In Wisconsin, Republican state lawmakers are attempting to push through a series of bills before the newly elected Democratic governor and attorney general take office next month. The bills are scheduled to go through a hearing today and would restrict the early voting period; move up the 2020 presidential primary election to help a far-right justice remain on the state’s Supreme Court; block incoming Governor Tony Evers from withdrawing Wisconsin from a lawsuit against the Affordable Care Act; and allow the Legislature to sidestep incoming Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul in certain legal battles.
