http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/voter-turnout-2016-elections/Fourteen states installed new restrictive voting laws, which have historically targeted minorities, before the 2016 election, including in Wisconsin and Ohio. And this general election was the first since the Supreme Court struck down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act in 2013 that required federal approval on any state election law.
Neil Albrecht, executive director of the Milwaukee Election Commission, said voter identification laws hurt turnout in the citys high-poverty districts this month, noting that 41,000 fewer people voted there in 2016 than in 2012
However, the Brennan Center for Justice, nonpartisan law and policy institute, said there has not been enough data collected to determine the laws impact on the election.
So.... how many votes did Clinton lose Wisconsin by?
This is a warning people; if we ran Obama JFK, FDR, Lincoln, RayGun and the RayGun dog all wrapped into one person they can STILL ... STILL ... STILL take these elections from us ...
The 2000 election was stolen the same way, 20,000 Americans were purged from the voter rolls in Florida using similar software as Cross Check... there would be no Bush if there was no voter suppression.
Like a laser we should focus on getting rid of this James Crow oppression that strips America of a progressive future.
Your take?
