Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said she believes Wisconsin's voter ID law made a difference in last year's election.
The former Secretary of State, U.S. senator and first lady spoke Tuesday night in Milwaukee as part of an effort to promote her book, "What Happened," which looked at the 2016 presidential race.
Clinton told about 2,500 audience members at Milwaukee's Riverside Theater that the state's voter ID law suppressed turnout among students, minorities and the elderly.
"In an election, which I remember well, was decided by a razor-thin margin, that makes a difference. This issue hasn't gotten enough attention. It is a civil rights issue," she said.
The law's Republican backers, like Gov. Scott Walker, say the ID law reduces voter fraud.
Some Democrats say another reason Clinton lost in Wisconsin is that she didn't campaign in the state last fall. During a lengthy standing ovation for her at the Riverside, Clinton joked that she should have come back to the state sooner.
Clinton also said several elections this week in Virginia and New Jersey give her optimism Democrats are making a comeback. Clinton said in her book that she encourages Democrats to stay politically engaged and active.
"And just this week, we saw what a difference that can make because in elections across America, hope beat hate, right?" Clinton said.
She also urged more women to run for political office.
Haha! Nailed it...
That reasoning only applies to normal men.
“This demented, power-mad, craven old harpy just needs to DIE and leave the rest of humanity in peace.”
My dude, she’s going to need help. She puts the psycho in psychopath. America’s Elena Ceausescu
Hillary has vowed to leave no excuse unsaid.
Poor Hillary. Her community organizers couldn’t cheat and commit voter fraud as easily here as in other places where pretending to be someone else is easy.
It kept a lot of Clintoonie illegal alien voters and multiple vote casters from “voting” for you, right Clintoonie? Too bad. Your pissin’ and moanin’ about it is proof that America needs Voter I.D.s. You really need to keep your big mouth shut.
With all due respect, she's not demented, and old has nothing to do with it. She's been the same all along. She is a mentally unstable person with narcissistic personality disorder, who has ruined her own life by putting her ambition and need to be superhuman (which she is not) before all those things in life that are actually infinitely more important. Her life is a very sad story. That said, she is clearly dangerous.
I bet Bill took every chance imaginable to avoid Hilary.
OK, give her Wisconsin! She still loses!!! LOL
I like to think of her as our Evita Peron without the charisma.
He doesn’t. That’s why he has so many girlfriends.
Excuse #999 thousand!!!! EVERYTHING was at fault EXCEPT her LOL, LOL, LOL!!!! She just CAN’T believe Trump beat her after a year the BITCH is still in denial !!!!! The fact that this is STILL keeping her awake at night makes me SO HAPPY !!!!!
Holy crap on a crumpet! Will the last person out of the room please deflate the Weeble Wobble?
Yes, I can understand (not excuse) Bill’s sexual peccadilloes. How could anyone tolerate waking up next to the Hildebeast in the morning? 10 tons of viagra would not be enough for me. 😆😅
“Yes, the voter ID law is SUPPOSED to effect the election!!!!”
Blatantly obvious to anybody with an IQ bigger than their shoe size, isn’t it?
Wait...
If you are a student, without an ID...how do you buy beer and smokes?
GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZ!
Somebody grab that piece of work, and shut her up.
yeah less illegal, dead and duplicate democrat voters, they couldn’t cheat as much as they wanted
