Noteworthy events

Electoral vote certification on January 6-7, 2021

See also: Counting of electoral votes (January 6-7, 2021)

Congress convened a joint session on January 6-7, 2021, to count electoral votes by state and confirm the results of the 2020 presidential election. Fitzgerald voted against certifying the electoral votes from Arizona and Pennsylvania. The House rejected both objections by a vote of 121-303 for Arizona and 138-282 for Pennsylvania.

Voter ID

In May 2011, the Wisconsin State Assembly passed a voter ID requirement proposal, AB 7, by a mostly party-line vote of 60 to 35, with all Republicans and a few Democrats in support.

Scott Fitzgerald, who was the Wisconsin senate majority leader, voted in favor of the bill. He said, “I think that there’s enough isolated incidents over the years that anyone who casts a vote has to have the full faith in the idea that their vote counts and it’s not going to be canceled out by some other person in another part of the state involved in some shenanigans.”

Collective bargaining

Dane County District Judge Maryann Sumi ruled in May 2011 that lawmakers violated Wisconsin's open meetings law by passing the collective bargaining legislation in Spring 2011, and therefore, the bill was null and void. Gov. Scott Walker had signed the bill into law..

The ruling said, "It is not the court's duty to determine whether 2011 Wisconsin Act 10 is good public policy or bad public policy; that is the business of the legislature. It is this court's responsibility, however, to apply the rule of law to the facts before it."

Sumi ruled that lawmakers failed to give enough notice for the Joint Committee on Conference meeting held March 9, 2011, during which lawmakers settled on the final version of the collective bargaining bill. The bill required increased health care and pension plan contributions for most public union employees and limited collective-bargaining powers to salary negotiations.

Following the ruling, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said, “There’s still a much larger separation-of-powers issue: whether one Madison judge can stand in the way of the other two democratically elected branches of government. The Supreme Court is going to have the ultimate ruling, and they’re still scheduled to hear the issue on June 6."

The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the law in a 4-3 ruling, reversing the lower court decision. Fitzgerald said, "We always felt that we followed our rules the way we normally do and that we never violated the constitution. And that's what the court felt as well." Wisconsin State Assembly minority leader, Peter Barca (D), said, "I was actually very shocked and certainly extremely disappointed with this ruling by our Supreme Court. Essentially, what the Supreme Court has now vested as part of Wisconsin is that the legislature is above the law."

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Wisconsin

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
