More on WIs idiotic lawsuit.... Yesterday we looked at the Wisconsins GOPs legal temper tantrum over a state law that gives top-ballot position to parties who won the previous election. Republican legislative leaders filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking changes to the newly redesigned ballot for the November election, claiming the one drafted by the nonpartisan elections agency unfairly benefits Democrats [...] The ballot design is unfair because Democratic candidates are listed first under the name of the office being sought and Republican candidates are separated by a line, the lawsuit said. Democrats are listed first, per state law, based on results in the 2012 election where President Barack Obama won Wisconsin. Republican candidates were listed first in 2012 because Gov. Scott Walker won election in 2010. Theres more, though. Check this out: The new ballot design is extremely likely to violate the right to vote of thousands, if not millions of Wisconsin electors, the [Republican] lawsuit said. Got that? Placing Democrats on top, just like Republicans were on top in 2012, will violate the rights of millions of Wisconsin voters. But draconian voter ID laws? Nope. No rights violated. Move along. Nothing to see. Assholes.
