Our Wisconsin State Director @samliebert.bsky.social was in the room for the signing of AB 374, a law that brings WI in line with the federal Electoral Count Reform Act. This was an important step for protecting voters and ensuring a lawful process for certifying presidential electors.

Grateful to stand with Governor Tony Evers this morning as he called the Legislature into special session to advance a constitutional amend. banning partisan gerrymandering. Long overdue. The power of this state belongs to the people — not political parties. Let voters choose.

Hey Wisconsin — it’s January 1, which means you can now request an absentee ballot for every election in 2026. With 3 (maybe 4!) elections this year, take two minutes now and make a plan to vote. Check your voter info + request your ballot here: myvote.wi.gov/en-us/My-Vot... 🗳️💪

Pardoning Wisconsin’s fake electors (like Bob Spindell, who still oversees elections in Wisconsin) sends a dangerous message: overturning a free and fair election has no consequences. Democracy runs on truth and rule of law — not loyalty to power. www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

"Once the govt. crosses the line into sweeping, unexplained grabs for voter data and more, it’s hard to walk it back. If states cave to these requests without demanding a clear legal foundation, they are inviting future administrations to make more such requests." www.votebeat.org/2025/08/11/j...

Why the Justice Department’s requests for voter rolls should raise alarm
The government is obligated by law to explain how it plans to use the information it collects. But the Trump administration hasn’t provided many details.
