We salute and honor those Wisconsin voters who risked their lives to vote.

They alone braved the COVID-19 Pandemic. They served on the front lines in our battle to save our Democratic Republic. They alone thwarted the Trump Republican Party's disgustingly putrid attempt to disenfranchise the majority vote in Wisconsin.

Heroes all. Each one deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor.

Here is the whole story...

Wisconsin Supreme Court Justices Voted Absentee Before Making Everyone Else Vote in Person, Zak Cheney-Rice, New York Magazine, 14 Apr 2020.

"Wisconsin Republicans were dealt a humiliating defeat on Monday. Daniel Kelly, a conservative State Supreme Court justice, lost his reelection bid to Jill Karofsky, his progressive challenger, by a decisive margin. (Returns are still incoming, but as of Monday night, Karofsky was up by 120,000 votes in the nonpartisan race; the New York Times reports that the last election for a Wisconsin Supreme Court seat was decided by fewer than 30,000 votes.) The result shocked members of both parties, in no small part because the state GOP did all it could to guarantee the opposite outcome. The novel coronavirus pandemic has forced most Wisconsites into seclusion, but earlier this month, the Republican-held legislature rejected Governor Evers’s efforts to postpone the election, forcing people to vote in person and risk infection. (In accordance with public-health guidelines, no other U.S. state is holding an in-person election in April.)"
