List of United States Attorneys for Wisconsin
The office of United States Attorney for the Wisconsin Territory came into being when the Wisconsin Territory was created from the remnants of the Michigan Territory. When Wisconsin became the 30th state in 1848, the United States Attorney for the District of Wisconsin was established. In 1870, the state was split into two jurisdictions, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Wisconsin and the United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin.[1]

gollark: I've made a v1.7 which drops the fudging behavior *but* still might be inaccurate. You may need to uninstall any previous versions, I'm not entirely sure.IMPORTANT NOTES: always manually check the time of death after using it - it should only take a minute or so to do that since it tells you roughly when it is (should be accurate to within 15 seconds at least); it may be against the rules (*hopefully* not? They're very vague); only tested in Firefox, might work in Chrome.
gollark: It never came up much in testing since my computer's clock is probably more accurate than the average Windows-y configuration.
gollark: There *might* be a way to get it to be synced to some other time source, I'll have to see.
gollark: That was always the intended design.
