A Republican on WI's Natural Resources Board has his term expire in May 2021. The GOP legislature refuses to confirm any of Evers's nominations. Meanwhile the guy just hangs around in the position his term ended over a year ago and has all the powers of the position still, including a vote. And WI's Supreme Court ruled 4-3 on party lines, "Yeah, that's fine. He can stay and vote."

Or in their words:
