Because the Republican-majority state supreme court said it was. "We can't win if people vote, so let's disenfranchise everyone."

I'm so angry about this I'm developing new anxiety symptoms. I'm probably going to have to do what a friend of mine did and block all tweets containing "wisconsin" on twitter.

This is horrible for the voters of Wisconsin, but I also hope they are tracking any uptick in covid cases closely. Having that example will be leverage for House Democrats to demand national mail in voting for the November election in the next relief bill.

And the only people allowed to investigate Republicans are Republicans, because Democrats can't possibly be trusted to investigate their opponents.

In 2016 The NY Times did a cletus safari to Waukesha to report how conflicted were the Republicans there regarding The Donald ("Ultra-red Wisconsin County Struggles with Trump," 9/7/16). Of course they all went and voted for him anyway. This year the Times went back to report "Post Impeachment, a Key Republican Suburban Area Rallies Around Trump," 2/8/20. From 1993 to 2016, Charlie Sykes broadcast his racist xenophobic shit from Milwaukee into Waukesha, with predictable results. When he was "shocked" those Republicans decided to support Trump, I said - and I say still - the only meet atonement he could perform would be to crawl on his knees from house to house in Waukesha, telling each voter individually that they have been brainwashed into hatred by himself and others like him. If he starts today, he might reach a lot of them by November.

Watch for a spike in covid-19 cases and deaths. When it happens, Dems should use it as a bludgeon against repukes since guillotines are out of the question.
