If you ever lose heart and lose hope – remember that they do things like this because they know there are more of us than there are of them.

the over 200,000 voters in question come largely from Democratic parts of the state.

In other words Conservatives have such little faith in their policies and making an effective case for them before the public that they want as few people as possible to vote for them.

For the same ends.

Cheating is all they have left…cheating to keep people from voting, cheating to win elections, cheating to set voting districts. Eventually, they will not be able to cheat and win, the tide is turning against them, it’s just a question of how much damage they can do before the pendulum swings against them. It really can’t come soon enough, the damage already done is going to take years or decades to fix.

Better that we know this now. The Wisconsin Democratic Party best get their butts in gear and get people registered. At this point we are the Ginger Rogers of the world. We have to do everything Fred does but backward and in heels. Registration and turnout! Registration and turnout!

The age of subtlety and stealth is surely dead. Panic seams to be setting in. They know that if they suffer predictable losses in '20 their reign will be over.

That motto is at least 30 years old.

I donated a few days ago, and I haven’t got much to work with.

Everyone who declares residency for tax purposes should absolutely be purged automatically and immediately, from every jurisdiction besides what it says on their driver’s license. Everyone who simply lives somewhere besides where their license says, should have the opportunity to update their license and register to vote simultaneously and automatically, by showing their license and a utility bill. Every drivers license should be an automatic voter registration at the address on the license and every voter registration should automatically update the license for next time.
