The GOP-controlled Legislature has "refused to act on at least 150" appointees of Gov. Tony Evers.
The ruling came after the GOP-controlled state legislature challenged Evers’ order. The state Supreme Court split 4-2 along ideological lines, with Justice Daniel Kelly, who is up for reelection in Tuesday’s balloting, abstaining. [...] "The clerks of this state should stand ready to proceed with the election," state House Speaker Robin Vos and state Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said in a joint statement upon appealing Evers’ order. "The governor’s executive order is clearly an unconstitutional overreach." [...] Evers had called the state legislature back for a special session and asked them to act to postpone the election on Friday. The GOP-controlled legislature declined to do so, gaveling in and out of sessions in a matter of minutes on Saturday and earlier on Monday.
