If there is to be any good that comes from today, let it be this: you will never allow yourself to forget, from now until you die, the need to fight as hard for judicial & state legislative seats as you do for the White House. Republicans know this. Let& #39;s know it even harder. 1/
Wisconsin& #39;s state Supreme Court decision today that locked in tomorrow& #39;s election was a party-line 4-2 ruling, with Dan Kelly—the GOP incumbent on the ballot—recusing.

We lost the 2019 state SCOWIS race to a GOP troll by 5,930 votes.

In 2017, the Republican ran unopposed.
I& #39;m one of thousands who knocked on doors all over Wisconsin last year to fight for @JudgeNeubauer. But national Republicans backed up a money truck in the final week of the race and spiked GOP turnout 30% vs 2018, and won by a hair. If we& #39;d won, SCOWIS would& #39;ve deadlocked today.
This whole fight is about another state Supreme Court race—one that Trump takes seriously enough to tweet about repeatedly and describe from memory during coronavirus press conferences. Trump& #39;s not known for attention to detail. So, he clearly doesn& #39;t consider this race a detail.
If you are ready to commit yourself to the fight for local offices—especially state legislative races and judgeships—here are three things you can do right now:

Give, if you can: http://wisdems.org/forward 
Make">https://wisdems.org/forward&q... calls: http://wisdems.org/vol4wi 
Text">https://wisdems.org/vol4wi&qu... voters: http://wisdems.org/text ">https://wisdems.org/text"...
And write "FIGHT IN LOCAL RACES LIKE THE WORLD DEPENDS ON IT" somewhere where you& #39;ll see it.

I& #39;d suggest that you tattoo it backwards on your forehead so that you see it in the mirror each morning, but tattoo shops are closed due to coronavirus.

Unlike Wisconsin& #39;s election.
