Meet the GOP dregs of the Wisconsin legislature that want to make it harder for people to vote

 

Naturally, they come in just one color.

Mitchell Schmidt reports on the latest WISGOP voter suppression effort:

A handful of Republican lawmakers have introduced a new proposal, AB 560, that seeks to bar local election clerks from using absentee ballot drop boxes in Wisconsin’s elections.\ 

The freestanding, mailbox-like drop boxes have been under fire in Wisconsin by GOP lawmakers since the 2020 presidential election, due in part to President Donald Trump's unfounded claims of widespread election fraud in his loss that year to Joe Biden by about 21,000 votes in the state. 

Multiple reviews and court decisions have found no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, and an Associated Press survey of state election officials across the U.S. identified no cases of fraud, vandalism or theft that could have affected the results in 2020.
