Wisconsin was the thirtieth state to enter the union, on May 29, 1848, and its capital city is [[Madison]]. The town of Ripon was the birthplace of the [[Republican Party]] in 1854, and the [[Republican National Convention]] of 2024 will be held in [[Milwaukee]], Wisconsin. But Wisconsin's higher education system, based in Madison, is among the most [[liberal]] in the entire country and is even the original source of "[[political correctness]]." Wisconsin colleges fund so many white [[Leftist]]s that they keep Wisconsin from being [[conservative]]. Its state tree is the sugar maple, the state song is "[[On Wisconsin]]", " the state flower is the wood violet, the state bird is the American [[robin]], the state animal is the [[badger]], the state [[fossil]] is the [[trilobite]], and the state fish is the muskellunge.<ref>http://www.legis.state.wi.us/senate/scc/kids/facts.htm</ref> Farming is 16.4% of Wisconsin's [[economy]], nearly half (7.1%) of which is dairy, and its top crops are corn ($1.4 billion, mostly for animal feed), soybeans ($913 million), potatoes ($311M) and cranberries (producing half the nation's supply of this crop, at $156M). Wisconsin ranks 4th in its [[Amish]] population, at 24,000. Wisconsin has 15,000 lakes and [[water]] is generally plentiful. Tourism is another contributor, both in the larger cities and also for the Wisconsin Dells. A majority of the [[Wisconsin Supreme Court]] was considered to be [[conservative]] as of July 2022, but in August 2023 "Wisconsin Democrats celebrated the beginning of a new era for the state Supreme Court on Tuesday as it flipped from conservative to [[liberal]] control for the first time in 15 years."<ref>https://apnews.com/article/wisconsin-supreme-court-liberal-8800fc9d37e6194f777c2fed261c5d37#</ref> In its legislature and governor's office, Wisconsin does not have any [[term limits]].

===Political history===
====Birthplace of the Republican Party====
[[File:GOP Ripon.jpeg|thumb|290px|Birthplace of the Republican Party, 1854]]
When the 1854 [[Kansas-Nebraska Act|Kansas-Nebraska bill]], which became law that same year, was proposed, it met very strong opposition in Wisconsin, regardless of one's political affiliation.<ref name="RiponGOP"/> Numerous meeting meetings were held against the bill, and in one of them held in Ripon, Wisconsin on March 20, 1854,<ref name="History.com"/><ref>According to Encyclopedia.com, the date was February 28, 1854 [http://www.encyclopedia.com/places/united-states-and-canada/us-political-geography/wisconsin].</ref> political leaders under the leadership of lawyer [[Alvan E. Bovay]] proposed the creation of a new political party.<ref name="RiponGOP"/> Other similar meetings also supported creating a new party, and "in July of 1854, a convention was held in [[Madison, Wisconsin|Madison]] to organize the new party"—the [[Republican Party]].<ref name="RiponGOP"/> Ripon is thus considered by many to be birthplace of the party.<ref name="RiponGOP"/> From the beginning, the Republican Party performed very well in the state.<ref name="RiponGOP"/> In the early days of the Republican Party, there was a rift between the Whiggish conservatives and the states' rights adherents, the latter of which favored Lincoln's moderate approach to the Civil War and opposed strong civil rights protections in the postbellum years. The states' rights faction, coalesced around James R. Doolittle, initially maintained a strong standing until the solidification of Radical Republicanism led to their loss of patronage, which was subsequently controlled by Elisha W. Keyes. The election and reelection of Sen. Timothy Howe ensured the firm control of the state GOP by the Radical faction, the acolytes of which in later generations represented the reactionary "Old Guard."
====Wisconsin Progressivism====
During the [[Great Depression]] in the 1930s, Progressivists continued to enact legislation in Wisconsin that expanded government programs and power, this time under the leadership of Robert La Follette's two sons, Robert La Follette Jr. and Phil La Follette.<ref>[http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/turningpoints/tp-045/?action=more_essay Depression and Unemployment].

They depict naked prepubescent children posing in lewd and lascivious ways; adults committing sexual acts on minors; and underage children performing sexual acts on adults. The most disturbing video sent by the defendant involved the forceable rape of a toddler. It is unfathomable to believe that the defendant not only received sexual gratification from such abhorrent material, but he felt the need to share it with others.
The defendant truly lived a double life. On one hand, he was an officer of the court who had a legal and ethical obligation to promote justice. He represented himself as someone who “[fought] for the most marginalized in our community.”<ref>https://urbanmilwaukee.com/2020/03/28/vote-absentee-milwaukee-county-circuit-court-branch-5/</ref>
[...] When executing a search warrant at the defendant’s residence, agents found electronic devices that contained numerous text messages between the defendant and other individuals. Many of these texts centered on the defendant’s sexual interest in children. The defendant told someone that he impersonated a teenager so he could chat with a 14-year-old child. He openly expressed his attraction to children, some as young as 12 years of age. Even as far back as 2016, the defendant talked about engaging in sexual intercourse with teenage boys.
====Conservatism in Wisconsin====
While Wisconsin is notable for its left-wing Progressivist Progressive and Socialist movements, numerous prominent conservatives also came from the state. Among them is the [[abolition]]ist Carl Schurz who served as [[Lieutenant Governor]] and a general in the [[American Civil War]], fighting in the [[Battle of Gettysburg]], [[Second Battle of Bull Run]], and other major battles. Another is [[Joseph McCarthy]], who served as a [[counterintelligence]] officers officer in the Pacific during [[World War II]] and is notable for his strong [[Anti-Communist|anti-communism]] and his active attempts to uncover Communist subversives in the [[U.S. government]].<ref>[http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1774.html Joseph McCarthy].

=====Primary election tampering=====
In a lawsuit filed by Democratic party operatives concerned about the [[CCP pandemic]]’s effects on voting, federal District Judge William Conley (an [[Obama]] appointee) extended the deadline for receipt of mail-in ballots from Tuesday, April 7, 2020 (the primary-election day), to Monday afternoon, April 13. That aspect of the federal district court’s ruling was not in dispute. Judge Conley, however, directed that [[absentee ballot]]s were eligible to be counted regardless of the date of post mark postmark or otherwise delivered, as long as they came in by the April 13 deadline. In effect, that meant absentee ballots could be cast after in-person primary voting had closed on April 7.
This meant the election could be materially altered by events occurring after the formal conclusion of the [[primary election]] — not least, news about the apparent election result. To address this problem, Judge Conley further ordered the Wisconsin Election Commission and election inspectors to suppress any report of the voting results until after the new April 13 deadline for the receipt of absentee ballots.<ref>https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/04/the-supreme-courts-misunderstood-ruling-on-wisconsins-coronavirus-primary/</ref> Democrat Gov. [[Tony Evers]] then banned in -person voting in the April 7, 2020 primary. The Wisconsin Supreme Court then ruled Evers exceeded his authority with his [[Executive Order]] to cancel elections.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEIrRZpwsqQ</ref> The same day [[SCOTUS]] ruled to stay a district court order that had extended the absentee voting deadline. As a result, the absentee ballot postmark and in-person return deadlines were reinstated to April 7, 2020.<ref>https://ballotpedia.org/Democratic_Party_primaries_in_Wisconsin,_2020</ref> The issue was that authority did not rest with the courts or the governor and there was no time to reschedule. [[Fake news]] media, of course, was quick to blame Republicans for the Democrat's lawsuit and the Democratic governor's overreach of [[executive branch]] authority.<ref>https://www.facebook.com/dan.bongino/videos/775321722874199/</ref> Democrat operative [[James Carville]] again stole the spotlight as the most [[demagogic]].<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/04/08/carville-wisconsin-primary-proved-republicans-will-kill-people-to-stay-in-power/</ref> ''The Wisconsin State Journal'' reported three weeks after the voting that Wisconsin's rate of infection actually declined after in-person voting.<ref>https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/health-med-fit/no-bump-in-covid-19-rates-after-wisconsins-april-7-election-study-says/article_b1aade1d-abec-5fc2-92fb-e1c64ccbc92f.html</ref>
=====Supreme Court agrees to hear the case=====
=====2020 voter fraud=====
:{{See also|Wisconsin election fraud}}
The [[Center for Tech and Civic Life]] (CTCL) approved a $100,000 grant to the Mayor of [[Racine]], WI in May of 2020 directing the Mayor to recruit four other cities ([[Green Bay]], [[Kenosha]], [[Madison]], and Milwaukee) to develop a joint grant request of CTCL. This effort resulted in these cities submitting a “Wisconsin Safe Election Plan” on June 15, 2020 , to CTCL and, in turn, receiving $6.3 million to implement the plan. This privatization of elections undermined the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), which requires state election plans to be submitted to federal officials and approved and requires respect for equal protection by making all resources available equally to all voters.
The provision of [[Zuckerberg]]-CTCL funds allowed these Democrat strongholds to spend roughly $47 per voter, compared to $4 to $7 per voter in traditionally [[Republican]] areas of the state. Moreover, this recruiting of targeted jurisdictions for specific government action and funding runs contrary to legislative election plans and invites the government to play favorites in the election process. The “Wisconsin Safe Election Plan” was not authored by the state, and considered state election integrity laws as obstacles and nuisances to be ignored or circumvented. Moreover, CTCL retained the right, in the grant document, to, in its sole discretion, order all funds returned if the grantee cities did not conduct the election consistent with CTCL dictates.
Effectively, CTCL managed the election in these five cities. And this plan violated state law in, at least, the following fashion:
Turnout was 67 percent in 2016; 70 percent in 2012; 69 percent in 2008; and 73 percent in 2004. Apparently Joe Biden smashed [[Barack Obama]]’s 2008 turnout in most places in the country.
In both Michigan and Wisconsin, several vote dumps occurred at approximately 4am 4 am on Wednesday morning November 4, 2020 , which showed that Joe Biden received almost 100 percent of the votes. President Trump was leading by hundreds of thousands of votes in both states as America went to sleep, and turnout in the state of Wisconsin seems seemed to be particularly impossible.
In Wisconsin on election day before the polls opened, Republicans led Mail-in Ballots requested 43% to 35%, and Mail-in and early in-person ballots returned 43% to 35%. Almost ALL of the ballots found, while most in the country were sleeping, after they officials stated they would stop counting, were for Joe Biden.
In Wisconsin, the law states that ballots returned by a third party absent a witness statement are invalid and not to be counted. Municipal clerks and vote counters across the state filled out witness signatures themselves. Acting on false and unlawful advice from the Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC), these clerks may have invalidated thousands of [[absentee ballot|absentee votes]].
[[File:WI fraudulent ballots.png|left|300px|thumb|Fraudulent ballots cast in Wisconsin.<ref>https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/group-files-emergency-petition-wisconsin-after-finding-potentially-150000?utm_source=daily-newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=newsletter</ref>]]
The WEC sent uniform instructions to voters with their mail-in ballots that informed them that “your witness must sign and provide their full address (street number, street name, city) in the Certification of Witness section” and warned that “if any of the required information above is missing, your ballot will not be counted.” However, on October 19, 2020 , the WEC sent instructions to clerks that they can simply fill in the witness address themselves so that the ballot would not be invalidated. “Please note that the clerk should attempt to resolve any missing witness address information prior to Election Day if possible, and this can be done through reliable information (personal knowledge, voter registration information, through a phone call with the voter or witness),” WEC wrote. “The witness does not need to appear to add a missing address.”<ref>https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/elections/many-200000-wisconsin-residents-may-have-voted-absentee-without-having</ref>
“The statute is very, very clear,” said retired Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman, who worked as a poll watcher in Milwaukee on Election Day. “If an absentee ballot does not have a witness address on it, it’s not valid. That ballot is not valid.” The former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice said the ballots should be invalidated. “In defiance of and direct contradiction to the statute, the Wisconsin Elections Commission gave guidance–that is, cover–to all 72 county clerks and turned the statute on his head,” Gableman said. “They said, ‘Gee, we know the law says an absentee ballot without the witness address is not valid, but county clerk, you have a duty to go ahead and look up on your own the witness’ address if there’s no address on the absentee ballot.”<ref>https://redstate.com/scotthounsell/2020/11/08/ballot-clerks-in-wisconsin-allegedly-added-witness-statements-to-thousands-of-invalid-ballots-n276848</ref>
:"In addition, the abortion rate (which represents the number of abortions per 1000 women of childbearing age) remains at 8, which is one of the lowest abortion rates in the nation," Lyons added. The national abortion rate is about 15 per 1,000 women.
:In the statement, Wisconsin Right to Life<ref>http://www.wisconsinrighttolife.org</ref> suggests that the abortions are on the decline because of its work and pro-life legislation the state has enacted and polls showing that younger Americans are more pro-life than previous generations. ...
:There are 14 abortions per 100 life live births in Wisconsin, lower than the 24 per 100 live births nationwide.
:In 2006, there were 596 abortions on minors. Written consent (usually by a parent) was provided in 530 of these; the patient was an emancipated minor in 24; and a court granted a petition to waive the parental consent requirement in 42. There were no teens who got abortions after being victimized by sexual assault. ...
