US Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R) wants to end spring elections in Wisconsin [View all]

U.S. Rep Derrick Van Orden wants to put an end to Wisconsin’s spring elections — a move that would require an amendment to the state constitution. His suggestion comes after a series of losses by conservatives in spring races.

“Republicans don’t vote, period. … We just don’t vote in spring elections,” Van Orden said.

The Republican congressman called on state lawmakers to make a change to the voting calendar.

“I think they should get rid of that and fold it into a midterm or a four-year cycle,” Van Orden said. “There is exhaustion from the previous election, and it’s just not functional.”
