"Now Wisconsin is conducting an election that the state’s largest newspaper — which previously endorsed Republican leaders including former Gov. Scott Walker — called 'the most undemocratic in the state’s history.'”https://t.co/2QiMs8mLQx

Whenever you hear someone complain about "liberal activist judges," think of this moment where the Supreme Court's conservative majority quite literally made up law to require Wisconsin to hold its primary election in the midst of a deadly pandemic. https://t.co/w8IzmRljWn

The last people to vote in-person in Wisconsin will likely vote well after midnight following hours of standing in line. Keep in mind the Supreme Court disallowed any of these people the sensible right to vote by mail tomorrow https://t.co/VOiTdKQPNf

If you think that this is what should be happening today, you’re either uninformed about coronavirus, a nihilistic partisan, or a Republican-appointed Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States

Election officials are furious about this. They say it’s both voter suppression and a dangerous disregard for safety by asking people to risk their lives to vote in a pandemic when it easily could have been delayed. https://t.co/JLc0qOjAzr

This is the death lottery stage of the Republicans' voter suppression effort. https://t.co/h3mKskOiJC

The Milwaukee voters I'm talking to are preparing to wait for about 5 hours. Remember, the city went from 180 polling locations to 5

— Steadman™ (@AsteadWesley) April 7, 2020

Milwaukee has 16% of state's population but half the coronavirus cases in state

As a result, city was able to open only 5 polling places, instead of usual 180, for population of 600,000

This is what happens when GOP refuses to send ballots to every voter https://t.co/funuh4QfDX

The voting tragedy here in Wisconsin is unjust, but my anger has turned into profound sadness that our institutions have failed us so spectacularly. More than ever, all we can do is keep fighting for voters. These are not hypotheticals. These are voters with rights. Here's a few:

Wisconsin is a wake up call for November. Last week Trump said the quiet part out loud, Republicans can’t win if everyone votes. It’s time for every state to adopt mail in voting & coronavirus safety measures at the polls. The time is now-No suppression through fear of safety. https://t.co/Eo9t9WD1IP
