Milwaukee is going to be ground zero for disenfranchisement. Block all of those nasty Democrats from voting. Fuckers!

Wisconsin with their conservative buddies on the U.S. Supreme Court are literally trying to get away with stealing a ten-year state supreme court seat and it's like no one is even talking about this?!

And NOW WI is the legal precedent.
Looks like SCOTUS is headed toward ruling this democracy out of existence if SCOTUS takes this ruling as a legitimate precedent in a time of pandemic.

They are comfortably the minority party. They depend on the above and by desolate States like Wyoming having 2 Senators just like California and New York.....which have Cities with more people than some of these States.
On a level playing field they have no shot so they had to rig the game.
