It’s Election Day, a 13-hour period from 7:00am to 8:00pm where Wisconsin voters can make a big difference—one way or another. They can demonstrate that our state Supreme Court is not for sale to Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and the world’s biggest corporations. And they can reaffirm their support for a strong public school system, one that shouldn’t be gutted by politicians who want to shovel our tax dollars into private schools for well-off families. But those things won’t happen if enough voters stay home, so Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez joins us to talk about the importance of making an appearance sometime during these 13 critical hours.
