Wisconsin GOP: Paving the way for voter suppression

 
Headline:  Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 10/23/2024
Voting rights advocates are calling on state and federal authorities to investigate the messages, which were sent on Oct. 10. Free Speech for the People, on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, sent a letter to the U.S. Department of Justice and the state Department of Justice last week urging them to investigate. 
"Without prompt investigation and action, the sender may continue its efforts to frighten eligible young voters into not voting," they wrote in the Oct. 15 letter. 
The letter adds that the sender "targeted young voters aged 18-25," including young staff members of the League of Women Voters and others who are part of the University of Wisconsin System. At least one Journal Sentinel reporter also received the text.
