Scott Walker Appealing Ruling He Must Call Elections

Update: See also AP report.

Madison, Wisconsin — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and the Republican Party have gone to extraordinary lengths to block special elections.

Now, Republicans are going further.

In Robert Dallas Newton Jr. et al v. Scott Walker, (Dane County Case Number 2018CV000519), Scott Walker has appealed the ruling of Dane County Judge Richard G. Niess this morning, March 28, while moving on the legislative front to block all special elections.

Walker's move is an apparent attempt to further stall the elections that he has been ordered to hold in last week's judicial writ or order of mandamus.
