We recap the August primary election in Wisconsin, including Tara Johnson moving on in the 96th Assembly District, Rebecca Cooke winning (12:00) the 3rd District for US House and Republicans losing (3:20) on the partisan constitutional amendments they put on the ballot. We also, at the end, talk a bit about the Democratic National Convention that runs Monday-Thursday this week in Chicago — in which William Garcia will be in attendance.

Two weeks later, the dissection of the 2024 election continues. La Crosse County and 3rd Congressional District Democratic Party chair William Garcia breaks down how Wisconsin fit into the mix, both nationally and locally, in the past election.

We break down how Donald Trump’s gains across the nation match up to what we saw in Wisconsin.

We also look at the Derrick Van Orden-Rebecca Cooke race in the 3rd US House District and the Tammy Baldwin-Eric Hovde US Senate race, plus how Democrats did in the state Legislature , including a clean sweep in the La Crosse area.

Republicans in Wisconsin, again, are putting a confusing question on your fall ballot that could take away your voting rights. Multiple organizations, nonprofits and the Democratic Party are saying vote no on this question: 

Voters must be prepared to answer this question on the November 5 ballot ⬇️

❌ Question: “Eligibility to vote. Shall section 1 of article III of the constitution, which deals with suffrage, be amended to provide that only a United States citizen age 18 or older who resides in an election district may vote in an election for national, state, or local office or at a statewide or local referendum?"

We get into the reason why this question is not only confusing, but dangerous for voting rights of everyone in the state -- "every" being the key word.

We take a look at the wild flyers from the Republican Party of Wisconsin on behalf of candidate Ryan Huebsch that are ending up in potential voters' homes attacking Democratic Assembly Rep. Steve Doyle. We also discuss how no debates are happening in Assembly races, as Republicans cite "scheduling conflicts."
