Wisconsin Republicans and Democrats are backing election bills. Just not the same ones.

In an unusual move, Assembly Republicans and Democrats stood shoulder-to-shoulder at a state Capitol news conference Wednesday to unveil a series of bills to update Wisconsin’s election laws.

The catch? They didn’t all support the same bills.

The idea, according to Rep. Lee Snodgrass, D-Appleton, is to meet “the moment” at a time of partisan division. She and other Democrats thanked Rep. Scott Krug, R-Rome, the vice-chair of the Assembly elections committee, for being open to good faith debate over how to shore up voting in Wisconsin.

“The partisan divide has become not just contentious, but even hostile,” she said. “Rep. Krug and I will continue to model that civil conversations and debate can happen in the same room, from the same podium and with the same goal in mind, in spite of diverging ideas.”
