Can someone explain the gaveling in/out from a procedural standpoint? Are the Republicans able to do this because they control both houses of the legislature and that's it?

Evers has been a bit slow to act during this pandemic, which is kind of disappointing but it's better than doing next to nothing (looking at you, Nebraska).

I'm a former and hopefully soon-to-be-again Wisconsinite so I feel you. I don't have much hope for the Republicans to lose their stranglehold on the state in the near future though.

I thought this sounded similar to Ohio's situation the night before in-person polling was supposed to happen. The difference it seems though is that Ever's move to postpone is more controversial.
Evers said he reached out to Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, this morning to seek his guidance on how to go about postponing the election using his executive authority.
“We talked about how it worked in Ohio and we are in very similar circumstances,” Evers said.
DeWine’s administration had made a similar move to postpone his state’s primary elections, which was originally scheduled for March 17. Ohio’s top public health official closed physical polling places hours before they were scheduled to open. Unlike Evers' executive order, the move did not formally postpone the election in Ohio, but it eventually led to the Ohio state legislature extending absentee voting in the state through April 28.

It's like a poll tax, except instead of money you pay for it by damaging your upper respiratory system.
