This will hopefully drive up Dane County turnout.
Enough to save Evers, sure, but he's still going to have this legislature to deal with because it's about as gerrymandered as apartheid South Africa.
It's still better than Michels becoming a rubber stamp for the legislature.
Who themselves are just a rubber stamp of the local religious establishment and dealership owners.
IDK though at least their state senate districts have to have equal population. And their governor will have to win the most votes statewide. And their attorney general will be elected independently and so can confidently act independently of their governor. In half the states (sadly not including Wisconsin), the voters can have the final say by referendum. State government is arguably more democratic than the federal government, even with gerrymandering (and there's still plenty of it in the US House). If your #1 concern is democracy, you should probably want everything other than war/foreign relations to be handled at the state level.
What would make it work would be if there were more powers to make interstate compacts. That would inevitably lead to our country “evolving” into multiple ones. We need a federal government that can make compromises in order to stay relevant.

Is this for real? What kind of parent is she going to be? Who comes up with this stuff?

I am reminded of the mass shootings that have been in the news more and more lately. Stories of women having traumatic and/or near death experiences because of not being able to get an abortion are going to increase more and more until a volcano goes off. Something is going to explode because this healthcare debacle just can't go on like this. Women deserve better than to be forced to go through health nightmares because of some arbitrary political legislation.
So sure, look to the voters for increased participation by women. They have a vested interest in the outcome of elections more now than ever before.
