The chair of Wisconsin's state Democratic Party on Monday blasted a U.S. Supreme Court decision that required all absentee ballots be posted by Tuesday to be counted in the state's election.
Ben Wikler tweeted Monday afternoon that he was "about to explode" after the Supreme Court reversed a lower court's ruling ordering the state to accept absentee ballots sent any time before April 13, a move that was initially meant to expand participation in the primary during the coronavirus outbreak.
"I am about to explode. The five GOP US Supreme Court justices just overruled two lower courts and shut off extended absentee voting in Wisconsin," he tweeted.
"The Supreme Court of the United States legislated from the bench today, following Trump team's orders and writing a new election law to disenfranchise untold thousands of Wisconsin voters and consign an unknown number of Wisconsinites to their deaths," he added. "This is now etched into history. Donald Trump doesn't care how many of his followers die—and how many people they infect and kill—if it helps him maintain power."

As the court noted, nobody in the case had ASKED for the ballots to be accepted later — that was a change to law made by some stupid judge, and all the Supreme Court did was reverse that judge’s stupid rule.
The SC actually did grant some leeway, allowing ballots to be received late, so long as they get postmarked tomorrow.
The original judge actually allowed absentee voting for another week, AND put a gag order on anybody counting ballots on election night and announcing any results.
Just explode then, don’t threaten.
They are getting warmed up to steal 2020.
“And finally, monsieur, a wafer-thin mint.”
The impact of the MSM must be dealth with
There are people I’m dealing with (actually a poll worker) who is so convinced of the highly contagious nature of this CCWVI (communist China Wuhan Virus that those going to the polls will put themselves in mortal danger .In fact she will not be working the polls because of it. Where she’s coming from is her sources of information is WPR and a former teacher voted against Walker.
I think they are certainly going to try, nothing new there, but I think he will be reelected by overwhelming numbers. Meaning that they would have to overcome a very large margin, and they will not be successful, yet again. 8>)
Yeah, but I doubt they will be successful. People are begging to see through their facade of pretense to care about people, then than themselves of course.
We’ll get out of your way.
Just trying to be helpful.
Gonna be a 60-40 GOP victory if the coronavirus prevented the Democrat ward-heelers from stuffing the ballot boxes.
They have planned this for at least 6 weeks - instead of planning on how to get it done withing the bounds of their own laws.
I’m not sure what the Dems are trying to prove, but I somehow got on a message list from the Bernie Bots, and they were playing up the deadly danger of voting today!
WEAR YOUR MASK! DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING! KEEP SIX FEET AWAY! WASH YOUR HANDS IMMEDIATELY AFTER VOTING!
It’s ridiculous.
Is THIS how we’re all going to spend each Winter and Fall in America now, during Flu Season?
We never have before. People dropping like flies EVERY YEAR by the tens of thousands and no one blinks an eye! Mother Government now sees how easily the SHEEP can be led; she’ll do this again and again and again.
Once your rights are gone, they’re gone forever! Who doesn’t get that? Yeesh!
Our polling places had preventative measures taken. One had glass partitions and would spray disinfectant on hands before proceeding to glass enclosed clerks table the other, mine,clerks were sheltered outside. Vehicles were directed to line up. Clerks would walk up to the vehicle; Verify voter ID,get signature then offer the ballots, Without leaving vehicle the voter fills them out, folds, and gives to the clerk who takes ballot to ballot box.
While I was in the car waiting for Beau to vote (then I was going to go in) I was listening to the radio, AM1310 and Dan O’Donnel said that ALL of the City of Milwaukee only had FIVE polling places open and ready to go! FIVE!
OMG! What’s all the b*tchin’ about ‘The EVIL Republicans’ making sure the poor and downtrodden are ‘disenfranchised’ when it comes to voting? In a city of nearly 600,000 poor schlubs, they had FIVE poling places available?!?!
Yikes!
I don’t remember a huge uproar when Pritzker allowed voting in IL in March....
