Scott Walker (R) signed legislation Friday that strips power away from newly elected Democrats and keeps it squarely in the hands of Republicans in the Legislature. Voters largely rejected Wisconsin Republicans in the midterm elections. Walker signed them during a press conference Friday afternoon, arguing that his Democratic successor will still be a powerful executive. During his press conference, Walker said he liked early voting, but it was unfair for some areas to have longer early voting periods than others. “Today, Governor Walker chose to ignore and override the will of the people of Wisconsin,” Evers said in a statement.
