Scott Walker signed a bill cutting early voting, then signed another allowing lobbyists to donate earlier. I guess he has his priorities straight.

Scott Walker Signs Bill Limiting Early Voting, But Uses Partial Veto
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) signed a bill Thursday limiting early voting in the state, but vetoed a portion of the bill that would have restricted early voting to no more than 45 hours a week.
According to the AP, the bill limits in-person absentee voting to no later than 7 p.m. on weeknights and prohibits early voting on the weekends.

Gov. Scott Walker has quietly signed into law a bill that lets lobbyists to start making campaign donations to candidates for office seven weeks earlier than previously allowed.
The bill was among 30 that Walker signed privately on Thursday morning in Milwaukee.
The new law allows lobbyists to start making personal donations the day candidates can circulate petitions for office, which is April 15. Under previous law they couldn't make any donations until June 1.
