Hillary Clinton Says Wisconsin Voter ID Law Affected 2016 Presidential Election
Wisconsin Public Radio ^ | November 10, 2017 | Chuck Quirmbach

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.

she blames God for the 10 commandments, for a saviour, and life itself because it does not fit her perv greedy narrative.. change is part of life, change towards the positive is the goal.

Heh, yeah, no ****, eh? Voter ID is a civil rights issue in the breach rather than the observance.

Not as much as having her name on the ballot did.

Apparently, requiring voter ID to prevent illegal votes is unfair to democrats. That’s why we need strict voter ID in every state.

Each of the following came from Hillary, from one of her drones, or from a pro-Hillary article - I am not creative enough to have made these up.

94. Requiring voter ID in Wisconsin elected Trump.

93. American voters finding her insufferable because of Hillary’s confidence in her own Christian virtues, which represent America’s exceptional virtue, elected Trump.

92. Hillary’s very bad luck elected Trump.

91. A culture of grievance, victimhood, and scapegoating among hillbillies elected Trump.

There are many terrible reasons for President Trump’s victory, but there are two things that were not a factor. First, Hillary was the perfect candidate; nothing she did harmed her candidacy in any way. Second, President Trump was the worst candidate imaginable; nothing he did helped his candidacy at all, except with racists, sexists, bigots, and the rest of the basket of deplorables.

Since Hillary didn't visit or campaign in Wisconsin at all during the run-up to last year's election, she now claims in was the Voter ID laws that did her in.

It suppressed the votes for her she claims.

Lord, please rid us of this woman....soon.

As delusional and unstable as Kankles is, the demented LOSERS who go to hear her squawk are just as mentally ill. What a collective group of perpetually enraged LOSERS.
