The Stakes Wisconsin has been the scene of some of the ugliest state politics in the country as a pack of extremist legislators bankrolled by narrow special interests have undone the state’s progressive reputation through initiatives like: Forcing through legislative maps that are by some measures the most gerrymandered in the countryDestroying worker protections and the ability of state employees to collectively bargainUndermining Democratic Gov. Tony Evers’ COVID-19 response, including by forcing people to vote in-person at the height of the first wave of the pandemic and a complete failure of the legislature to meet in almost 200 days while Wisconsin became the country’s #1 COVID-19 hotspot 2020 Political Landscape In 2020 the entire Assembly is up for election and Democrats need to net 14 out of 63 Republican seats to win a majorityWhile this may seem difficult, it appears Democrats may be pulling away in the statewide vote, eroding Republican margins in particular in the Milwaukee suburbs and exurbs.Republican Speaker Robin Vos, the architect of many of the state’s most aggressively destructive policies, appears to be losing support in his normally safe Republican district.In 2018:Sen.
