Why would you let a pandemic get in the way of voter suppression? Much better to use it as a tactic of voter suppression. At least, I can't see any other other coherent way to read the Wisconsin GOP and SCOTUS refusal to either delay Wisconsin's vote today, or allow absentee ballots to be delayed. Wisconsin GOPs shenanigans to keep itself in power are well-known; we shouldn't forget that the Roberts Court is systematically hostile to voting rights. The Onion has the right tweet, and reminds us that Wisconsin has 77 Covid deaths today. Check that space in 2-3 weeks.
Unless it's that Republicans hate democracy so much they don't even care who wins, as long as fewer people vote.
Plus ça change...
