36. BS.... they know their local officials on the ballot and they know the controversy for WI Supreme Ct

You know damned well this has gotten a LOT of attention in WI and THAT is why they are desperate to push back. They know that they HAVE to push back against the corrupt gerrymandering. Republicans enjoy a built-in 64-35 advantage in the partisan makeup of the 99 Assembly districts. In a hypothetical 50-50 election, in which there are equal numbers of Democratic and Republican voters in Wisconsin, no one crosses party lines and independents split down the middle, that translates into a massive 29-seat GOP advantage in the Assembly. That's very close to the 27-seat margin (63-36) that Republicans won in 2018.
WI Democrats are not stupid.
