Assigning blame for the Wisconsin election fiasco
Gov. Tony Evers’s gambit to deflect responsibility for the debacle of Wisconsin’s April 7 election by peremptorily canceling in-person voting at the last minute seems to have worked. At least judging by the reaction online, where most of the blame for the scenes of long lines at polling places was being laid at the feet of Republicans in the state legislature and the state and US Supreme Courts, but not Evers. Some distempered commentators even accused the Wisconsin GOP of endangering voters’ lives 'to protect its minority rule'. https://twitter.com/donmoyn/status/1247581715511627776 Ridiculous indeed. And Republicans in the Wisconsin legislature aren’t innocent. But the mess is mostly of Gov. Evers’s own making.
