Serb Hall rally turns violent as Pro-Trump supporters ignore city’s health order and assault manager

Almost one thousand of Pro-Trump conspiracy supporters who refuse to accept the democratic process that voted their candidate out of office gathered in violation of public health restrictions on November 14, forcing Health department officials to shut down their rally.

Hundreds clustered outside the banquet hall on the south side of Milwaukee, without wearing masks or socially distancing. Wisconsin is currently faces a skyrocketing outbreak of COVID-19, with record breaking rates of...

Donald Trump’s refusal to accept the judgment of the American people might just seem like denial. But in denying the legitimacy of over 77 million votes against him, Trump and leading Republican politicians are implementing a design more sinister than poor sportsmanship. Trump and his party have declared war on the fundamental principle of American constitutional democracy: When an incumbent loses an election, they leave office. A peaceful transfer of power follows. Republicans know full well that Biden won. Republican as well as Democratic election officials from across the country confirm there’s no evidence of voter fraud. The election...

Leave it to Trump and his Republican allies to spend more energy fighting non-existent voter fraud than containing a virus that has killed 244,000 Americans and counting. The cost of this misplaced attention is incalculable. While COVID-19 surges to record levels, there’s still no national strategy for equipment, stay at home orders, mask mandates or disaster relief. The other cost is found in the millions of Trump voters who are being led to believe the election was stolen and who will be a hostile force for years to come – making it harder to do much of anything the...

By Simon F. Haeder, Assistant Professor of Public Policy, Penn State; and Sarah E. Gollust, Associate Professor of Health Policy and Management, University of Minnesota Much has been written about the U.S. coronavirus response. Media accounts frequently turn to experts for their insights – commonly, epidemiologists or physicians. Countless surveys have also queried Americans and individuals from around the world about how the pandemic has affected them and their attitudes and opinions. Yet little is known about the views of a group of people particularly well qualified to render judgment on the United States‘s response and offer policy solutions:...

In the week after the presidential election, misinformation has circulated on social media and political websites raising unfounded rumors about the integrity of Wisconsin’s election results. “Wisconsin’s election was conducted according to law and in the open,” said Meagan Wolfe, Wisconsin’s chief election official. “While the results are still unofficial and are currently being triple checked as part of the canvass and certification process, we have not seen any credible information to cast any doubt on those unofficial results.” Wolfe further stated, “When issues are reported to our office, we take them very seriously. We look into each allegation...

Calling Races: The necessary role of the news media to project the outcome of elections in the United States

Posted by | Nov 12, 2020

Fifty-one separate elections — one in each state and one in Washington DC, each with different rules and regulations, and no national elections commission to tell the world who wins. How, then, to quickly and accurately determine who won the highest office in the land? That is where the news media come in — and have done so since 1848, when The Associated Press declared the election of Zachary Taylor as president. The Electoral College actually chooses the president under the U.S. Constitution, acting in a process that starts with the popular vote across the republic. But its work...
