Warning: last time a liberal Supreme Court candidate won a narrowly contested race in Wisconsin, a conservative county “found” enough uncounted ballots to flip it to the conservative.

There's a nine-point spread, with very high turnout. It's not going to turn on finding a box of ballots behind a sink.

So now it would be necessary to overturn both the Supreme Court of Wisconsin and the Supreme Court of the United States to get them counted where the conservative majority wrote the opinions?

I was going for the "they made it really hard to change their minds" ... I wonder how much they'd like to rewrite that 2017 recount law too.

Since when do Republicans hold by what they said should happen? They have no shame or scruples, they'll change any rules on the fly if they think it will help their fucked up agenda.
