47. Did the phone attack on Barrett's lines trying to help GOTV for June 6th get repaired?

And since I don't know the ground there...

Have the ALEC voter suppression bills been defeated or stopped in court in WI?

And what, if anything, has the Barrett campaign done to counter the thinking of the voters who believe Walker's anti-abortion, anti-union stance is worth their vote?

I think that it's very hard for Barrett to have built the sort of support that Walker has banked on with that population.
