A Wisconsin judge issued an order putting on hold a set of laws that Republicans passed late last year to limit the power of the incoming Democratic governor
Washington A Wisconsin judge issued an order Thursday putting on hold a set of laws that Republicans passed late last year to limit the power of the incoming Democratic governor.
The ruling is the latest step in a legal saga that has unfolded since Democratic Gov. Tony Evers defeated then-Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, in last year's gubernatorial election. In one of his final acts in office, Walker signed legislation passed by the GOP-held legislature to weaken the state's executive branch and reduce the number of early voting days.
