MADISON - A federal appeals court on Friday unanimously upheld Democratic Gov. Tony Evers decision to keep a conservative organization from attending some events.
A panel of the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago ruled Evers practice of keeping the John K. MacIver Institute for Public Policy out of some events, such as a briefing on his 2019 state budget, was not based on the group s ideology. The governor is allowed to hold events with some media organizations but not others, the judges concluded. We find that the Governor’s media-access criteria are indeed reasonable and not an effort to suppress MacIver’s expression because of its viewpoint, Judge Ilana Rovner wrote for the panel.

(Bloomberg) The U.S. Supreme Court refused to consider former President Donald Trump’s challenge to the presidential election results in Wisconsin, rejecting the last remaining appeal that sought to overturn Joe Biden’s victory.
The rebuff came without comment or published dissent. It follows the court’s Feb. 22 rejection of a group of appeals that sought to reverse Biden’s win in Wisconsin and four other states.
