Scott Walker is a tyrant. He is denying Wisconsinites representations. It is completely transparent, He is terrified of losing. But that is not a reason to refuse to hold elections. Walker is framing it that elections are elections. Also not a reason to deny citizens the reason to deny citizens representations. Scott Walker is going to end up in jail.

They don’t believe in voting either, it’s been long recognized that the fewer people that vote the better their chances. That’s probably why they push voter suppression. This from Reagan’s campaign strategist Paul Weyrich:

So many of our Christians have what I call the goo-goo syndrome: good government. They want everybody to vote. I don't want everybody to vote. Elections are not won by a majority of people, they never have been from the beginning of our country and they are not now. As a matter of fact, our leverage in the elections quite candidly goes up as the voting populace goes down.

Ah Republicans, they can't win the game, so they attempt to change the rules. Classic Sore Loser move.

There's nothing Republicans won't do to win.
They only win when turnout is low. Yet, they've gerrymandered to the point that Dems have to have a turnout 11% higher just to come out even let alone win.
Those Republicans are anti-democracy bastards, all of them.

We no longer have democratic rule in this country. Add in things like rampant GOP gerrymandering, voter suppression laws, voter roll purges and, most recently, the Trump/GOP/Kremlin alliance, and we have a nation ruled by a distinct minority. And it’s the minority consisting largely of irrational, unpatriotic people, who bring us disgraceful lunatics like Trump.

We used to be able to look to the courts to keep such unpatriotic, undemocratic people in check, but now the GOP is even rigging the courts, especially with their swiping of the SCOTUS seat.

Sad to say, but I think the nation may be doomed to such madness.

Oh, FFS. Did you not read the part of the legislature changing the law anyway? How is this tyranny?

Get a grip. Special elections at this point would be a waste of time, effort, and money. Now if the bill fails, then special elections would be held.

1.) The law hasn't been passed. Walker is ignoring the direct order of a judge to fufill his constitutional responsibilities which should land him in jail.
2.)Elections are not a waste of time, effort, or money. This is possibly the most autocratic sentiment anyone could have.

In addition, Republicans do sleazy, nasty things on the local level by putting up billboards in minority communities suggesting voters will be checked for outstanding warrants. Republicans cut the number of polling places for minorities or give them less equipment than in white Republican locations. They fight letting ex-cons have their voting rights back. Republicans are anti-democracy bastards, all of them.

You're so full of shit. You'd screech if a Democratic governor tried that.

1: It's pending, and looks like it WILL pass.

2: It is a waste of time and money if it's gonna be a moot point after the legislation.
