Voter suppression

[Anonymous]

Early voting or not, there should be a precinct for every X number of people across every county and the state. This should be evenly distributed based on population. There should be a uniform number of properly working, safe and secure voting machines or ballot collection method in each precinct.

Precincts in college areas and high minority areas should not be "randomly" closed.

Precincts in White areas should not have more voting booths than other precincts.

Most definitely, agree with everything you said. However, working with what is the current reality- early voting - use it.

A huge amount of the people who voted early in these primary elections have thrown their votes away because they voted for a candidate who dropped out before the rest of the election.

College students can always vote absenteee. In fact, that is the way it should work.

Says who?

They represent their home state, not where they are a temporary resident.

We still can’t get conservatives to admit it for the most part, so this is actually kind of sweet to hear. The dumb twaddle Repos on here swear this is about “process integrity” and other such laugh-inducing lies. It is ENTIRELY about suppressing the most reliable blue votes.

Certainly it has, but there is now a clear health and safety reason to do mail in ballots and the GOP is trying to shut it down.

I don’t understand how Republicans can stay with a straight face that they care about democracy.

Wisconsin faces a surge in absentee ballot requests for next week's election, which includes a crucial state Supreme Court race. The governor wants to extend deadlines to ensure every vote is counted.

Republican lawmakers are fighting him tooth and nail.

Republicans are evil

When there are more registered voters than people who live in a precinct, there is a problem. That's one reason people should have to request a ballot instead of just mailing one to every registered voter.

I’m sure you have lots of examples of that to share with the class?

Meanwhile, Wisconsin is moving ahead with its April 7 election. The date can only be changed by the Republican-controlled state legislature, which has both refused to postpone it (as the many other states with elections on this date did) while rebuffing calls by Governor Evers to mail a ballot to every registered voter. With just days before voting is set to take place, hundreds of thousands of citizens could be unable to participate on Tuesday, with a critical state Supreme Court election being decided alongside a Democratic presidential primary between Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders.

...and, zero examples. Why are republicans always lying about voter fraud? Here’s another example.
