As reported by WisPolitics.com, oral arguments for Priorities, USA v. Wisconsin Elections Commission focused on whether the justices need to stand by the ruling issued two years ago, when the court had a 4-3 conservative majority rather than the 4-3 edge that now exists for liberals. Several liberal justices peppered the attorney for GOP lawmakers on why they should stick to the previous decision if it was flawed. Meanwhile, the conservative members of the court took issue with the criticism of that past decision. David Fox, representing the group that sued seeking to overturn the 2022 decision, noted other lawsuits have been filed challenging election practices based on the court’s ruling two years ago. That, he argued, opened the door to lawsuits seeking to overturn election results. Justice Rebecca Bradley countered plaintiffs were asking the court to be a “super Legislature” and give “free rein to municipal clerks to conduct elections however they see it.”
Gov. Tony Evers, together with Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) Secretary James Bond, announced May 16 that nine nonprofit organizations are receiving Veteran Mental Health Community-Based Organization Grant funding to promote positive mental health through activities, programs, and services that enhance the emotional, psychological, and social well-being of Wisconsin veterans.
