Milwaukee voting locations were reduced from 180 to just 5. Voters who
risked their health stood in lines for hours waiting to cast ballots.
Thousands who requested absentee ballots weeks ago never got them and were
disenfranchised entirely.

Hey, Friend. It’s Ben Wikler again, Chair of the Wisconsin
Democratic Party.

Democracy won in Wisconsin last night. The GOP thought they had this
election fully stolen. Trump leaned in personally. But voters, who don't
like being suppressed, rose up. And [ [link removed] ]organizers worked their magic.

On Election Day, Wisconsin voters were forced by Republicans and Trump’s
Supreme Court to choose between exercising their right to vote and keeping
themselves and their neighbors safe from the coronavirus.

What was done to Wisconsin offers a nightmare vision of what the whole
country could face in the fall: A fight where Democrats struggle to
balance democracy with public health, and the GOP remorselessly weaponizes
courts, election laws, and the coronavirus itself to disenfranchise
millions of voters who stand in its way.

Wisconsin will be ground zero in the general election and we cannot allow
this to happen again. We have our work cut out for us between now and
November. But we’re going to fight tooth and nail to defeat the GOP’s
voter suppression tactics.

organizing to ensure that every voter’s voice is heard and the PCCC’s work
fighting for national vote by mail?

A week from now, as the pandemic rages on, some number of people who voted
in the primary will find that their fever is not subsiding. That they
can't take deep breaths. That their bodies ache, relentlessly. They might
never find out where they were exposed.

Two weeks from now, the same will happen to their family members and, for
those who have essential jobs in places like grocery stores and hospitals,
a percentage of those they work with and support. Three weeks from now, it
will spread to the next level out. That’s how pandemics work.

They might never know the names of the specific legislators who chose, in
the face of scientific consensus that public gatherings increase the risk
of coronavirus transmission, to hold an in-person statewide election.
Names like Robin Vos and Scott Fitzgerald.

The Wisconsin GOP isn’t playing games. They weaponized the coronavirus for
voter suppression, and Trump’s Supreme Court was eager to back them up.

We need your help heading toward November. We can’t allow their scheme to
work. And we know that when voters are fired up and we get organized, we
CAN win.
