He can not even perform his civic duty, yet he rants how women dress.

Midweek in Wisconsin—and we're spending so much time in the 30s and 40s you'd think we were all listening to Bob Hope on the radio! < rimshot! >

Here's the tl;dr on today's newsletter:

Of course he went there. Michael Gableman was boorish even before he became a state Supreme Court justice. You would think he'd try to tone it down while doing an "investigation" of a presidential election. But there he was Tuesday on a right-wing radio station in Green Bay disparaging Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe—for how she dresses. Classy.

Gableman's radio rant included more attacks on those who helped nursing home residents vote safely in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic. A lawsuit on that topic was heard today by the state Supreme Court.

Several candidates hoping to succeed US Rep. Ron Kind in the 3rd Congressional District have held their first public forum.

Left Without Any Factual Reason to Attack the State's Top Elections Administrator, Gableman Goes After Her Looks.


Another day, another talk show rant from Republican election inquisitor Michael Gableman. The former state Supreme Court justice lashed out on Tuesday at Wisconsin’s top elections official, Meagan Wolfe—even going so far as to attack her style of dress and jewelry.

“Black dress, white pearls—I’ve seen the act. I’ve seen the show,” Gableman said as he and a WTAQ Radio host promoted a conspiracy theory about nursing home workers helping residents vote safely during a pandemic based on guidance provided by the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), which Wolfe serves as administrator.

Gableman—who did not vote in last week’s elections because he was visiting former President Donald Trump at his Florida estate—said the voter assistance provided by WEC guidance in 2020 was a scheme to “wring a few ballots” out of nursing home residents. He referred to it as “elder abuse” and said it was a reason why Wolfe “ought not to be the administrator of our Wisconsin Elections Commission.”

A “few ballots” would not have changed statewide election results, and Gableman did not explain why a top state official would break the law to change “a few ballots.”

In a written response about Gableman’s insults, Wolfe said, “Comments directed at my appearance are a far cry from being serious and are beneath anybody who purports to be undertaking a review of subject matter as important as election integrity."
