Wisconsin Voting rights groups urge AG Josh Kaul to give additional guidance to elections officials on federal interference

"A coalition of 13 organizations involved in election protection in Wisconsin, including Voces de la Frontera, Citizen Action and the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, sent a letter to Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul asking him to provide guidance to Wisconsin elections officials on “how to address election scenarios in which the Trump administration attempts to subvert the integrity of this election and overturn otherwise valid results.

The letter notes that the Wisconsin Elections Commission has already provided guidance to clerks on the presence of armed federal agents and the seizure of ballots, but says Kaul should “clarify and strengthen” that guidance “so that local election officials will call upon local law enforcement to physically stop such unlawful activities by federal DHS/ICE and FBI agents.”

The letter’s signers say that, while they, like Kaul, are prepared to go to court to stop unlawful election interference, they are worried that “judicial relief will likely take precious hours and will come too late if federal agents have already seized and absconded with ballots, tabulating machines, and other election materials. If such acts occur, they almost certainly will taint the chain of custody of election materials and allow fascistic forces to invalidate the results of the election.”

"The moratorium runs from Nov. 1 to April 15 and prohibits utility providers from disconnecting residential heating services for nonpayment.

To avoid disconnection, the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin advises customers who have fallen behind on payments to contact their utility to set up a payment plan."

No one should pay more than 2% of their income for utilities.

Working class households across Wisconsin have the least disposable income yet live in older houses and apartments that are less energy efficient, and therefore more expensive to heat and cool. The result is the families least able to afford it pay the largest proportion of their income on utilities.

Here is how the big utilities rig the system against all of us to jack up prices and make the climate crisis worse:

(1) Wisconsin Utilities Refuse to Make Older Homes More Energy Efficient. While utilities in neighboring states such as Illinois are alleviating this problem of older energy inefficient housing by providing financing for energy efficiency upgrades and rooftop solar panels, Wisconsin utilities are refusing to do so.

(2) Utilities Profit From Blocking Energy Efficiency, Rooftop Solar and Community Solar. The way the system has been set up to benefit big utilities, there is a perverse incentive: the more energy is wasted the richer they become. By keeping homes and apartments energy inefficient, and denying access to cheaper renewable energy, Wisconsin utilities are able to force us to buy more electricity and gas. This excess energy use allows them to justify huge new fossil fuel plants we don’t need that pad their profits. We get left holding the bag, subsidizing these new plants through higher energy bills for the next forty years.

(3) Utilities Profit by Making the Climate Crisis Worse. Excess energy use and unnecessary fossil fuel plants massively increase greenhouse gas pollution, making runaway climate change much more likely and risking our environment and our children’s future.

TAKE ACTION: By capping electricity and heating costs at an affordable percentage of household income (2%), everyone regardless of their wealth or the age of their house or apartment will be guaranteed they can afford a vital necessity of life without sacrificing other necessities.

Working class communities will no longer have to worry about their lights being shut off after April 15th every year. >> https://secure.ngpvan.com/HaLxCrdltEibJtx3_z72Pw2

Utility disconnections pause from Nov. 1 to April 15, 2027. Here’s some information to help you keep the lights on.

Long suffering and tired Milwaukee Brewer fan Matt Brusky expresses his sheer joy the morning after the big victory. The first ever World Series victory means more than words can express to the city, state and many baseball families. The Brewers accomplished a feat many thought not possible when confronted by a system that privileges the richest billionaire owners and their access to unlimited resources.

We debrief the final MU Law Poll before next Tuesday’s general election, finding Crowley with a 51% to 44% lead among likely voters and 47% to 44% among registered voters. What does it mean? Quoting a famous baseball sage, it's not over until it's over.

Robert updates listeners on our Democracy Defenders program to confront possible scenarios the Trump regime might employ to disrupt the midterm elections. This includes news that Trump's Department of Justice will send 1,000 “election monitors” on Election Day but will not announce all locations until election day. The regime is behaving like a foreign adversary withholding where they will strike in their drive to disrupt the state and local election systems.

Robert closes by educating us on the biggest Congressional vote on the Climate Crisis you likely have not heard about yet.

Tom Tiffany is coming to Antigo, hoping this part of Wisconsin won’t notice what he did in Washington. We noticed his votes hurt Wisconsin families and helped his billionaire donors. Tiffany voted to cut healthcare, and families here are paying for it: lost coverage, closing clinics, and higher co...
