Evers was the state superintendent of schools, a position in which he was a total failure, he has now been promoted one grade above his competency level (which was not very high to begin with). He presided over some of the worst schools in the county.
He was elected by the college student vote in two counties (Dane an Madison) when they put a MJ advisory referendum on the ballot. The stupid student\s thought that meant MJ would be legalized.
Absent those two counties and Evers would have lost.
There were some 34,000 “found” ballots in Dane and 72,000 ballots of people who where dead, moved, or non-existent in Milwaukee county.
No one has come up with how all this happened and likely will continue to happen until Wisconsin is once more broke, bankrupt, and near collapse with record unemployment.
All the more reason to have electoral college-style systems for all statewide offices, except for U.S. Senators. The counties in Wisconsin, et al. could be weighted in a manner similar to the states in the U.S. electoral college — i.e., each county gets an equal number of EVs to being with (1 or 2) and then 1 or more in each county according to population.
