I don’t think anybody’s actually confused about this, but just to be super clear:
Counting all lawfully cast ballots is NOT stealing the election.
Not counting all lawfully cast ballots WOULD BE stealing the election.
Anyone who says otherwise doesn’t really support democracy.

Ron Kind is right: the State of Wisconsin shouldn't be part of this lawsuit. Wisconsinites with a pre-existing condition should have access to affordable health-insurance coverage.
Today I called on Gov. Walker and AG Schimel to withdraw from the Texas v. Azar lawsuit, which would take away healthcare for people with pre-existing conditions. It's unconscionable to think that they would put the lives of over half of our state at risk.

We need to repeal Wisconsin’s mid-1800s criminal abortion ban and restore access to safe and legal abortion.
