Rushed To Judgement

Milwaukee normally has 180 voting sites; because of coronavirus, fewer than 12 polling places will be open April 7

We need not be endangering people, voters and election workers, by encouraging gatherings of many in confined areas. The election can wait. We needn't stress our election processing machinery with exponentially large numbers of absentee ballots to collect and count. We should also not be rushing many voters, now, along with coronavirus, into trying to obtain and mail, or drop-off, their absentee ballot. Democracy shouldn't be rushed, expedited or forced. The election can be postponed to ensure proper debate, turnout and processing. 

Good Riddance, Scott Walker

It was a good night for Democrats. Not a great night, but a good one.

Sad so many in Wisconsin (and around the country) are still voting Republican after all we know and at this point in time. Those of you clinging to your sexism, racism, parochialism, or whatever other pet cause makes you still vote Republican, you truly are the worst of us.

For those of you (that normally vote Republican) that put country before party to help elect Democrats, kudos to you. Well done.

Remember, though, this is just the start. Keep talking, keep campaigning, keep pushing Democratic policies. We need to carry this momentum into the 2020 election.

Even though this was a record-breaking turnout for Wisconsin, it was still only 60 percent of the voting-age population. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "Based on state population estimates from earlier this year, turnout was equal to almost 60 percent of the voting-age population, though that number is likely to change when the official count is complete."

It's just ridiculous to think that 40 percent of the voting-age population is just sitting on the sidelines. If Democrats could get these people to the polls, Republicans would never win another election.

Good riddance, Scott Walker. Now you can lick the boots of your paymasters full-time. Burn in hell, you selfish and corrupt tool.

What Would Elections Be Like If Everyone Voted?
