The Wisconsin state legislature and several courts overrode the governor’s decisions about postponing the elections or allowing additional time for mail-in ballots. It was a brilliant strategy on the part of the conservatives. Milwaukee was so overridden with corona that 175 of the usual 180 polling stations had to close for lack of staff. This made it extremely difficult to vote in Milwaukee, which is liberal and ethnic. Then the conservatives got a ruling at the 11th hour that mail-in ballots had to be postmarked by election day – even though many people had not yet received the ballots they had requested two weeks in advance!
Meanwhile, voting in the conservative areas upstate was easy and painless.
It was a plan worthy of a Bond villain, and the most important objective (really the only important objective) was to get an ultra-conservative re-elected to the state supreme court.
Only one problem. He lost.
While the GOP puppet masters were focusing on Milwaukee, they turned their backs on Madison, which gave the liberal an astounding 76-24 margin of victory there. Meanwhile, the turnout in Milwaukee was fairly respectable, and the liberal won there 69-31. The state’s other metro area, stretching from Green Bay to Oshkosh (Brown, Outagamie and Winnebago counties), which actually has more voters than Madison, was split quite evenly, but even there it was the liberal with a small advantage.
The Bond villains have to be wondering what went wrong with a plan that seemed foolproof.
Since I’m encouraging New Yorkers to go on with your lives + get out on the town despite Coronavirus, I thought I would offer some suggestions. Here’s the first: thru Thurs 3/5 go see “The Traitor” @FilmLinc. If “The Wire” was a true story + set in Italy, it would be this film.

Today’s tip: Never let a virus keep you from having a tan butt
So far, the only people following that advice are Kara and Dr. Fauci. I have to admit the old guy has a surprisingly cute ass.
On the pre-corona trajectory, this was not supposed to happen for about 11 years!
As the good lord obviously intended when he, in his infinite mercy, created coronavirus.
Sierra Goddard in Carrion (2020).
Man, the old Carrion gang has really changed in the reboot. My favorite was always Carrion Nurse.
We first saw her about two weeks ago, but I think she may be headed for the short list among the top scenes of 2020.
You’ve all seen “The Queen of Pinups” naked, but this is an interesting pose.
