The Morning Report — 3/ 31 /25
—J.J. Sefton

Good morning kids. Does this story really surprise you?!

The headquarters for the Republican Party in New Mexico was targeted Sunday in what is being called “a deliberate act of arson,” leaving the entryway to the building destroyed.
In a post on X, the Republican Party of New Mexico revealed the damage to the state’s GOP headquarters in Albuquerque also included the words “ICE=KKK” spray painted on a wall of the building. The attack was described as being “fueled by hatred and intolerance.”

. . . “We are deeply relieved that no one was harmed in what could have been a tragic and deadly attack,” Barela said. “Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable, and our state leaders must reinforce through decisive action that these cowardly attacks will not be tolerated.”

Continuing on with the completely unsurprising category, I give you this story on the eve of a most crucial special election here in my new home state of Wisconsin:

The elections director of Milwaukee, Wisconsin is apparently playing sheriff. Meanwhile, workers allegedly have been handling ballots in secret rooms inadmissible to observers for weeks.
City workers are allegedly using secret offices, off limits for observers, to handle ballots for the Wisconsin Supreme Court race, multiple sources told The Federalist. Milwaukee Elections Director Paulina Gutierrez also allegedly claimed “police powers” to remove observers in a March 19 meeting at Milwaukee Central Count. Early voting began in the race March 18, and election day is April 1. Former Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, backed by Republicans, is running against Democrat-backed Judge Susan Crawford for a 10-year term on the state Supreme Court. Leftists took control of the court in 2023, but with the retirement of Justice Ann Walsh Bradley, this race could decide the ideological tilt of the state’s highest court for years. . .

. . . The rooms are purportedly used to scan ballots as received then divide them by “ward” — the equivalent of an election precinct. “They’re scanning them in, and then they’re sorting them by ward,” the observer said. “Why would it happen in secret?”

The observer claimed to have personally seen the back rooms in Milwaukee Central Count — described as offices with windows “papered over so you can’t actually see what they’re doing.” Gutierrez and the city attorney allegedly confirmed to the observer “they were using those rooms again” and that “they had every right to do that.”

. . . The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel claimed on election day that “Wisconsin has secure elections.” But in 2020, Milwaukee was home to “Zuckbucks” meddling and late-night ballot dumps. In 2024, it was the site of alleged ballot harvesting, broken tabulator seals, and a mysterious “black curtain.” As one unnamed source said, “this is a major perception issue.”

I guess Democrat terror goons firebombing Wisconsin's GOP headquarters might be misinterpreted by the unwashed masses and so that option was nixed. Meh, with Election officials and administratators like they have in Milwaukee, the election has been in the bag for weeks already and tomorrow's magic show is just pro forma.


I would have hoped that both the state and national GOP would have been preparing for this election for months now. Or is that hoping for too much. But considering what's at stake . . .

All eyes are on the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, where liberals currently hold a 4-3 majority. On Tuesday, voters will choose between a conservative judge, Brad Schimel, and a liberal judge, Susan Crawford, to fill a vacancy and possibly flip the court to conservative control.
What difference does it make? A lot — and not just in Wisconsin.

If liberals retain control, it is likely that the court will unwind the public sector union reforms enacted when Scott Walker was governor, something high on labor unions’ wish list for the past decade. Issues such as abortion are also on the agenda. Voters gave Republicans an 18-15 majority in the Wisconsin State Senate and a 54-45 majority in the Wisconsin State Assembly. Yet a liberal Supreme Court bench would spell disaster for any Republican initiatives. . .

. . . Redistricting could net Democrats two extra seats, and control of Congress. Crawford supporters even put out a campaign email touting the election as a “chance to put two more House seats in play for 2026” Democrats know what is at stake.

So this state court election is about control of the nation, not just Wisconsin.

Soros saw an early opportunity, and donated $1 million directly to Crawford’s campaign before the race received its current publicity, plus his network has raised far more.

Have a great day — And. . . A gentle reminder to my fellow Wisconsinites Tomorrow is Election Day so get out and vote early absentee today if you can and for sure tomorrow for BRAD SCHIMEL

Well, I voted early as it supposedly makes shenanigans and thievery on the part of Democrats harder to pull off on and immediately after election day itself. If any of my fellow Wisconsinites can go vote today, wherever you may be, do so. I did not flee NYC just to live in its arctic equivalent.

Well, a lot of those big liberal cities - Milwaukee, Madison and others...like in most states tend to stain the water...  For WI it is easy - don't stay home, get out...but yeah I have the same concerns about fraud prevention at the state party level...

Pressler coming up at 2PM- 1210AM- I believe he's still on the ground there

[paulh]

Ice storm per Scott? Good interview, this election is HUGE. He's trying his best, it's tied now so get out and vote

[Libertas]

The weather not supposed to turn pukey until the evening hours so hopefully isn't an issue...and it's mostly going to impact the Western counties...which are more rural and hence conservative, so yeah, vote early...

[Libertas]

Well, did my part... 

ETA - Didn't see any Soros-paid toxic-leftists terrorists for Crawford at my polls...

...doesn't mean they aren't out there...

H/T-CTH

The toxic-left is batshyt-crazy...

And Elon has said he's had over 17,000 death threats since his WI rally appearance...

Well, the toxic-leftist and her Soros & Pritzker money won out in the Supreme Court race...that is unfortunate, and no doubt regrets will pile up in that regard...no idea yet if there was any funny business...

Anyway, not my fault...

It was good to see the overwhelming victory of the voter ID referendum, it is locked in now and no toxic-leftist judge can defy that...though I expect bogus ID's will be the next issue to deal with...

And the 2 Florida House seats are safe...some folks are lamenting the fact that in a state Trump crushed 14 & 8 point wins are somehow troubling?  WTF?  Trump was not on the ticket, the toxic-leftists had humongous spending advantages...in any other election these are solid wins.  Some people...jeesh!

AZ 7th special election comes up in September sometime...reckon that will stay demostupid for a demostupid who kicked the bucket...so this House balance seems it will be what it will be for the Congress...

I did read some crap about people voting for Crawford because they don't like Musk...  Seriously, stupid...Musk who isn't running is helping uncover massive govt fraud and waste...  Yeah, let's hate that...  And Frack over Wisconsonites with another axe-grinding leftist tool...
