So basically:

The governor scheduled this election together with the Dem primary to give democrats an advantage.

But when the house seat (WI07) opened up, the governor refused to schedule the race on April 7 together with the general election, instead moving it to May 12 because he was worried about republican turnout.

Evers said many times in the past couple weeks that he wanted the election to go on and take place on April 7. Lower older turnout = better chance of winning.

Last week, the absentee ballots showed good margins for the GOP, so he shifted his position.

Now Republicans don't wanna postpone the election because they're winning.

So you don't know what you're talking about. Wisconsin spring elections are always now, the presidential primaries always fall in line with this. It was not "scheduled".

But why isn't the WI07 election scheduled for tomorrow? Why did the governor choose to delay?

It can't be voter supression right? Dems good, republicans bad111!!

Evers lord savior, he cares so much about people.

If Evers want to tilt that special election towards Democrats, he would have scheduled it to be on the same day as the Democratic primary, which would then include it in this fight because now is quite possibly the worst time to try and hold an election.

I don't know why it isn't on the same day, but by doing so, he's certainly not benefiting Democrats. Not everything is a power play.

No man. A higher rural turnout in North Wisconsin would help Kelly and you know it.

WI07 is gone for Democrats, doesn't matter if there is a D primary or not. Plus the WIGOP is a very effective state party. Wake up to the real world.
