GET ME REWRITE: Long-running Wisconsin show of political incompetence, "Our Dumb Senator", renewed for another 6 years

 

Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/27/2023

Records released under Wisconsin's public records law show Johnson's deputy chief of staff emailed Peter Bernegger in October 2022, asking whether a get-out-the-vote operation aimed at Black residents was legal. 

The program in question was described as including a "'Protect our vote' black SUV with a picture of Congressional Black Caucus leader John Lewis on its side." The driver said "these vans are all over the city, they had a caravan on Sunday and they're trying to 'get everyone to register to vote,'" according to an email from Julie Leschke in Johnson's office to Bernegger. Leschke asked Bernegger if he was aware of the effort and whether it was legal.

Black people?  Getting out the vote?  HEAVENS!!!
