“Republican Eric Hovde made his campaign to take on Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-) official, handing the GOP one of the final pieces to their 2024 map puzzle in a key battleground state.

Hovde, a Madison-ara businessman, gives Republicans a potentially formidable candidate in one of the trickiest battleground states..”

Republican who prev acted as fake elector for has been appted to State Elections Commission

This dev'mt is notable as it involves an indiv directly linked to attempt to overturn election results now being positioned in a signif role w/in state's electoral process

It's as if there's secret community of ppl consistently trying to undermine Amer. public; a puppet state looking to grip power by cheating way to top, then changing rules to keep its offices

Not sure if many of you are in my homestate of , but we have a huge new update on in wastewater, and it shows infections are exploding in the state. We're almost at the highest rate of COVID infections in two years, and we're still probably four weeks from the peak of this surge. This is based on preliminary data (in the gray bar at the right), but if that continues, we'll be at the second-highest rate of COVID infections of the entire pandemic within a week.
