COVIDIOTS spread the virus in Vernon County, Wisconsin

 

New York Times

Wisconsin State Journal

Karen Parker was one of only two people wearing a mask at the Sept. 14 Ontario Village Board meeting in rural Vernon County, about 100 miles northwest of Madison. 

The next week, she and board member Jamie DeWitt came down with COVID-19, spending a combined 14 days in the hospital and racking up thousands of dollars in medical bills.

GET ME REWRITE: Wisconsin Republicans continue down the path of voter suppression

 

Let the committee chairs know how you feel about this

Wisconsin State Legislature

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Instead, they’re asking to hear from a conservative radio talk show host, a former state Supreme Court justice, a postal subcontractor who has offered a debunked theory about backdated absentee ballots and an election observer whom President Donald Trump wants to testify in court in one of his lawsuits over the election. 

Friday’s hearing before two committees is being overseen by Rep. Ron Tusler of Harrison and Sen. Kathy Bernier of Lake Hallie.
