Nationally …
The massacre at Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, 05-24-22 has produced the usual demands to “do something.” We share the impulse and the anger, but what specifically to do? …
So-called red-flag laws that give police the ability to deny guns to people who may pose a risk to the community have been useful in some cases. But they are hard to enforce, as we recently learned in Buffalo. New York state has a red-flag statute, and Payton Gendron was even referred for mental counseling. He still got a gun. — Wall Street Journal.
The statement that the Second Amendment is not absolute is certainly true. There are laws that can be crafted within the confines set out under controlling Supreme Court precedent. … President Biden repeated his claim that certain weapons were prohibited at the time that the Second Amendment was ratified. That is simply untrue. — law professor Jonathan Turley.
Donald Trump’s political revenge campaign hit a wall in Georgia on Tuesday, as Gov. Brian Kemp and Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger easily defeated Trump-backed challengers. The question now is whether the former President will continue his vendetta by trying to defeat both men in November. — Wall Street Journal.

From the Dane County Sheriff:
Madison WI. 05-25-22 – There are no words to describe the devastating news of yesterday’s school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
As a precaution, the Dane County Sheriff’s Office will be increasing our presence around all of the schools in our primary jurisdictions.
Sadly, these events serve as a reminder for us all to be aware of our environment. The Dane County Sheriff’s Office continues to offer Emergency Preparedness Training for the community.
On a more personal note, hold your children extra tight today.

Will we be able to see the WEC or Dane County and Madison staff involved with their tails between their legs? They shouldn’t even be involved in any recounts. Screw the criminals.

Ian it appears you are unfamiliar with how voting works in Wisconsin. I recommend you talk to your clerk or municipal workers who run your elections and get an overview. Even better, you could volunteer to work at your local election and help contribute to the safe, secure, reliable elections we expect in Wisconsin.

Volunteer? Hell’s bells. The proglobotic pigs have stepped up to and are snout deep in the public trough being paid $30/hr. Although they’re hired by Dane County, they’re effectively employees of President Trump and the RNC. The only altruistic people are the We, the People, … patriots who are observing, tabulating and pointing out obvious fraud.

Well it’s good to know you’re participating as an observer. Democracy only works with active citizens.

I just remember when I voted in person my filled out ballot that was in person by the way went into a drawer below the machine. I found that I did vote on my vote.wi.gov, but who did I eventually vote for? Were those ballots later shoved into the reader? Hope so, but not allowed watching so??? Same thing an hour earlier with relative who voted, ballot stuck into drawer. Ok.

I’d suggest you set up a time to meet with your clerk to go over the voting process. There are numerous controls built in to the process to ensure that your are identified, your ballot is issued only once per your registration and finally run through the tabulator. If your ballot is rejected, you are allowed three attempts to vote a correct ballot. And finally, at the end of the night, all ballots are individually examined for any extraneous marks or write-ins (your votes for Mickey Mouse are not amusing), valid write-ins are documented and finally all ballots are placed in sealed bags. Today, those sealed bags are with us at Monona Terrace and each ballot will be examined. Absentee ballots will be counted to match the number of absentee envelopes, and then the ballots will be rerun through tabulator for the recount. Again your clerk or election staff should be more than willing to explain and document your municipality’s process.
