Because this is action on a stay not a ruling on the merits.

You're reading it wrong. Proper administration of the midterm elections means no purges and the preceding sentences to the one you quoted admit that.

The chair of the Assembly elections committee doesn’t understand the difference between what the City of Milwaukee does and what Milwaukee County does.

It would need the approval of Shorewood Hills property owners.

I don't know how they have a functioning government at this point.

There are things other countries do better and things we do better. Much of election administration is trying to reconcile competing priorities.

I honestly don't think it occurs to most people that this is something they should do.

Every year I have to call MLB customer service to whitelist my IP so I’m not incorrectly blacked out from watching the Cubs. Started that call during the 6th inning today. Looking increasingly likely I won’t get off hold while the game is still being played.

At the local Irish pub where I am definitely a regular. I’ve bussed a table, rolled silverware, and was given the remote to change the channel on a TV. I also broke a chair so we’ll call it a wash.

Folks, I promise you the election officials in places Trump would want to target have been on this earth longer than one day. They have thought about federal interference in their elections before.

Do you think local election officials don't have plans for what to do if a polling place can't be used for an election?

Rachel @badachie.bsky.social · 15/01/2026
I mean, not really? There's not such thing as a few key precincts. Want to close all the polling place in Madison, Wisconsin? That's still over 100 polling places. How many federal agents do you think it takes to close 100 polling places?

Rachel @badachie.bsky.social · 15/01/2026
It's less accurate and will take longer, but us election administrators will hand count if we don't have machines.

Can I ask why you have so little confidence in local election officials? Have you ever talked to one?
