Listen "Witch Hunt at the Election Commission"
Episode Synopsis
We welcome Mark Thomsen, Chair of the Wisconsin Elections Commission, to discuss the highly partisan and potentially slanderous attack by Senate Leader Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Vos on commission administrator Michael Haas. We also talk about the increasingly combative GOP Senate primary between Leah Vukmir and Kevin Nicholson, revealing deepening fault lines within the Republican Party. We review news that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has determined it doesn’t have jurisdiction over wetlands on the initial parcels of Foxconn land; U.S. Rep. Mark Pocan's prediction that Foxconn will sink Walker and Republicans; and a new study finds that Wisconsin is the 10th most moved out of state.
