The conservative majority of the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Friday that ballot drop boxes were illegal in the state, and it didn’t take long for right wing election lie evangelists to declare the decision proof of a fraudulent 2020 vote, and even to demand again that the election results be overturned.
Given how much more difficult it is to vote in cities across the country with voters relegated to waiting hours in line for to insufficient voting stations compared to the suburbs, the GOP have a hell of a nerve complaining about the disparate treatment of voters.
Especially since these conveniences are enjoyed by all voters, in particular, the elderly who tend to swing GOP. After a time, there’s a law of diminishing return for these sorts of voter suppression tactics and the demographics still change and their most reliable voters die off.
Shorter Wisconsin Supreme Court: You made it safe for citizens to vote safely during unprecedented pandemic?!? Who ever heard of such a thing! Don’t do it again!
Shorter Trump: Marvelous! This means I get to toss the votes of citizens who voted in good faith!
Why any voter in Wisconsin would ever vote for any Republican in the future is beyond me.
WOW! The method of collection of those votes made all of those votes illegal. The voters followed all instructions given to them by their local authorities, and that, by RW definition, means those votes don’t count. Then again, this is the decision of a RW court, so the consequences of their decision were never even considered, but the conclusion simply must be that Thump won because MAGA!
Is there any further appeal of this quackery above and beyond the SCOW?
Just like when the WI gerrymandered maps were successfully challenged and even THIS state SC ruled against them and then a DESPERATION Hail Mary to the U.S. Supreme Court delivered the Rs a most improbably victory.
This is where we are at, no matter how down and out, stupid or illegal the Rs become, they are always one answered Hail Mary away from eviscerating or toppling the system. Those striving to maintain it must always hit all their marks and bat .1000 but folks intent on blowing things up need only sneak one assassin or saboteur past the sentries.
