The Associated Press (AssPress) writer in Madistan doesn't know much--or more likely, has an agenda, like trying to scare Wisconsin voters about Boogey-Man Republicans.
In order to do that, the AssPress "reporter" has to bury certain facts.
...Although the stakes are high, the Wisconsin primary for secretary of state has been mostly quietly. The incumbent, Democrat Doug La Follette, has barely been campaigning. In June, the 81-year-old, who was first elected to the position in 1974, opted to take a two-week trip to Africa.
La Follette has raised about $21,000, according to the most recent campaign finance reports. That’s not unusual because the office’s only duties are to sit on a state timber board and to verify certain travel documents....
Oh, really? That's ALL??
The SoS also is obliged to publish enacted legislation in a timely fashion--something that LaFollette does not do, but only in certain cases.
... “He blew the one important job duty he had a decade ago. La Follette played politics and delayed the publication of Act 10, the Walker-era reform bill that ended the outsized power of Wisconsin’s public sector unions. A bill passed in 2013 stripped the Secretary of State of the power to delay publication of new laws.” – Empower Wisconsin, March 21, 2022 Matt Kittle....
Huh. Oldster LaFollette didn't publish Act 10 in a timely manner. He didn't like the bill, and decided to pout about it. But that's not the only one.
AJR 9, related to the Convention of States, was passed (1/25) and enrolled (1/27), then sent to LaFollette for additional administrative work which consisted of mailing copies of the Resolution to various Federal and (other) State officials.
As of May 1st, LaFollette has not completed the work. He doesn't like the Resolution and is pouting.
Some Republicans running for that office have thoughts about moving election-related activities there, taking them away from the utterly corrupt Wisconsin Election Commission Democrat-Electing Machine. (Another solution to the WEC problem would be to relocate the office to Three Lakes, thereby shedding the ultra-Lefty staffers who won't move there, preferring their warm, cozy, Madison location.)
The point is election reform, a necessity even to Democrat voters.
Having a reasonably-informative "free press" might help, too.
