What Happened in Wisconsin on Tuesday, 7 April Was Absolutely Disgraceful

Everyone needs to make sure elections happen on time, fair, and free.....if leaders fail to make this happen then they are threat to my freedom and to my nation. .

In that case they need to go away..

PRONTO

This has been the MO of the Nazi Repug Party for 20 years now. That's why this evil, fascist party needs to be eradicated from American society permanently.
 
You just said the buck stops at the top for a governor, while you support a pre$ident who consistently say he doesn’t take responsibility.

According to Repugs, there is no contradiction here. There is no hypocrisy. What could you possibly be talking about?
 
What was Trump's role with the incompetence and indecisive actions of the Governor of Wisconsin? Regardless, while I may or may not support a politician, that doesn't always translate into supporting every decision that politician makes. I'm not a sheeple.

Trump has been incompetent and indecisive at the national level. Not that you will ever understand that.
 
What should states do to prevent the vote manipulations of the type that were uncovered in NC in 2016, particularly among republican mismanagement of absentee or mail-in voting?

"Republican mismanagement"....LOL, you mean Republican FRAUD.
 
Primary elections typically yield low voter turnouts .. even looking at the 2020 primary elections, voter turnout across all states where primaries have been completed only averaged around 22 - 25%. Colorado has the highest percentage of turnout @ 42.6%. On the opposite end of the spectrum, North Dakota was at 2.6% and Nevada a close second @ 4.9%. Pretty pathetic results in my opinion.

Thank you for this totally irrelevant post.
 
No, this will come back to hurt them. The old people who form their base won't come out and vote or know how to or be willing to wait on long lines. Young people are more likely to take the chance.

Repugs will find a way for their idiot uneducated and mostly old white base to vote, while making it difficult for minority people to vote. Wisconsin is a great example of this.
 
"Republican mismanagement"....LOL, you mean Republican FRAUD.

Exactly. Republican fraud. It is inexcusable and so are misguided oppositions against enacting provisions designed to prevent such fraud from occurring in the future.
 
What equivalence? I was describing reality. Demographics are against the GOP, so they suppress votes as best they can within the parameters of the law. That is immoral in my view. Dems know they do better when more turn out, with all they have to do is fight republican restrictive measures. Also, republicans like Trump have appealed to resentment of black progress since Nixon’s so-called southern strategy, though the anti-immigrant stuff is fairly new and is more or less Trump’s thing, not the GOP’s.

If that is reality, then you should be advocating change, instead of saying that this is just Nazi Repug business as usual. Unless you want Trump to steal this election.
 
I hope you are correct. I seriously have my doubts. Trump is already laying the groundwork to delegitimize the 2020 election, due to "fraudulent" mail-in ballots.

You mean Trump's mail in ballot was "fraudulent"?:mrgreen:

I have voted by mail for years. It is a good option to standing in line. Trump being against it indicates to me it is a valid way to vote.
 
Its neither dishonest nor is it ridiculous. It is pertinent information to have in order to form an opinion. Information that he did provide too.

Why do you think a flaw in the system equates to terrorism?

A "flaw in the system" purposely inserted by Repug terrorists running Wisconsin. Republican terrorists in Wisconsin spend the past several years enacting draconian voter suppression laws, but it's the Democratic governor's fault for not being able to get these bull**** laws overturned. Of course.
 
I am curious if the cause of the glitch has been identified and what if any corrective steps have been proposed to avoid repeat occurences in the future. Was it a flaw in the mail system that the board never got the requests or was it that the board reciebed the requests but failed to send the ballots out.

In either scenerio i can understand the decission and why they avoided setting a precedent to allow people to vote past the election date.
Waiting until 2 weeks before the election to request a ballot, when you have known about the virus for months, seems a bit irresponsible and foolish.

I think you are willfully ignorant, that's what I think. There is no "glitch" in the system. This is what the Repug Nazi terrorists running Wisconsin want.
 
The election was fair and free. these things are planned months ahead.
Everyone in Gov knew it and knew the risk ahead of time.

They could have come to some agreement to change the date etc ...
The Gov is not king and does not have the power to change election dates by himself.
he even admitted it several times yet he tried it anyway and the courts smacked him down.

The Republican-controlled legislature would never have agreed to a change in dates, as you already know. You applaud the actions of these Nazi Repug terrorists. And you should be ashamed.
 
don't we all just expect this kind of crap now?

Yeah, but that's the problem. We expect it, but not enough people like you express outrage about it. If they did, the Repug Party would be eradicated by now.
 
The US Supreme Court agreed with the State Supreme Court and the only reason there were only 5 poling stations in Milwaukee was because of lack of volunteers. If the democrats were worried about disenfranchisement, why didn't they volunteer so those other polling stations would have been open?

In other words, it's the Democrats' fault for not performing sufficient planning to overcome the Nazi Repug Party's terrorist behavior in Wisconsin. Got it.

And the bottom of post #1 addresses the partisan U.S. Supreme Court and State Supreme Court decisions.

I've done the same as a Colorado resident. Mailed ballots is a very good option. When elections are free and fair, Democrats win most of the time. Which has been the case in Colorado the past 10 - 15 years. It's not a coincidence.

Your statements might hold more value if you would quit with the unsupported name calling. Generally when someone stoops to name calling a political party just shows their political bias. If the "Nazi Repug Party" is in fact in control of Wisconsin then the majority of people voted them in. Get over it.

The Courts made a ruling. You don't agree.
 
Bull****. Wisconsin could have delayed the primary, just like several other states have done. The Repug terrorists in Wisconsin simply didn't want to. If they wanted to, they would have worked with the Democratic governor to make it happen. Repugs wanted to take advantage of the COVID-19 situation and they did. **** them.

16-ish states have postponed their primaries or switch to mail-based ballot casting.

Louisiana, the first state to postpone, made the decision 3 weeks prior to scheduled primaries;
Maryland made the decision 6 weeks prior to scheduled primaries;
New Jersey made the decision more than 8 weeks prior to scheduled primaries;
New York made the decision more than 4 weeks prior to the scheduled primaries;


etc. etc. etc. The trending in these states of various political leanings was a concrete plan to decisively postpone state primaries.

The Wisconsin Governor, on the other hand, made the unilateral decision the day before the scheduled primary.

imo it has nothing to do with how someone votes. It has more to do with the political lean on the younger generations that are now voting.

that sounds like a political issue not a legal issue.
yes i applaud the rule of law of which this country is based on
not the rule of feelings.

So no i am not ashamed of the courts siding with the rule of law based on the actual constitution.
why should i be?

Quite the contrary. The names are 100% appropriate. Republicans proved that they don't care about American citizens in Wisconsin. They only care about power. They don't care about decency. They don't care about democracy. They are fascists in every sense of word.

So I will continue to use the term "Nazi Repug Party" or "Nazi Repug terrorists". Because that's what these mother ****ers are.

"The rule of law" according to Repug Nazis like Gov Scott Walker and the Repug terrorist legislature who enacted these voter suppression laws.

You have no idea what you are talking about, as always.

He made the "unilateral decision" because he already knows the Repug terrorist legislature in Wisconsin is not going to work with him.

You are entitled to your opinion. One that I do not share.

No, the democrats elected to whine and try to break the law rather than get those polling places open. They lost.

You're not aware of the fact that that is just not true? He'd been trying to postpone it earlier, but the legislature refused to cooperate. He even called a special session. Try to keep up, or at least be honest.
