    Election officials and Democrats in Wisconsin have repeatedly argued that the state’s strict voter ID law allowed Donald Trump to win the state in 2016 by keeping thousands of voters—predominantly in Democratic-leaning areas—from the polls. Now a top Republican official in the state is saying the same thing.

    “We battled to get voter ID on the ballot for the November ’16 election,” Wisconsin Attorney General Brad Schimel, who defended the law in court, told conservative radio host Vicki McKenna on April 12. “How many of your listeners really honestly are sure that Sen. [Ron] Johnson was going to win reelection or President Trump was going to win Wisconsin if we didn’t have voter ID to keep Wisconsin’s elections clean and honest and have integrity?”

    The law, which went into effect in 2016, required specific forms of government-issued photo identification to vote. In a cover story last year, Mother Jones reported that the law kept tens of thousands of eligible voters from the polls and likely tipped the state to Trump. A federal court found in 2014 that 9 percent of registered voters in Wisconsin did not possess the identification necessary to vote. In a University of Wisconsin study published in September 2017, 1 in 10 registered voters in Milwaukee County and Madison’s Dane County who did not cast a ballot in 2016 cited the voter ID law as a reason why. That meant that up to 23,000 voters in the two heavily Democratic counties—and as many as 45,000 voters statewide—didn’t vote because of the voter ID law. Trump won the state by 22,000 votes.

    African Americans, who favored Hillary Clinton over Trump by an 88-to-8 margin, were three times as likely as whites to say they were deterred from voting by the law.

    Indeed, turnout fell most sharply in black neighborhoods of Milwaukee that heavily supported Clinton. Nearly 41,000 fewer people in the city—where Clinton received 77 percent of the vote to Trump’s 18—voted in 2016 than in 2012.




    Why don’t you work to get them ID? How hard can it be?

    the left needs the dumbest of the dumb to gain office. Sad.
    The right elected the dumbest of the dumb to office.

    Well, if you steer clear and mind your own business, it looks like it's a pretty good chance that the black panthers accept your submissiveness and leave you alone. The little communist knew exactly what to do.

    Good one, CCCP.

    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    you seem to be the dumbest of the dumb.

    the right doesn't have the numbers to win an election outright. independents, and even voters on the left cast their preference, and it wasn't for Liary Rotten.

    I can remember with crystal clarity when the rightwing would howl in protest at Desh whenever she would post information demonstrating there is a concerted effort by the GOP to subvert democracy, to thwart the will of the people. To gerrymander, to suppress voting, and to just make more of a bloody hassle to invest time in voting.

    I mean, it is not even fundamentally a question anymore that this has been happening, and that Desh and others were spotlighting a critical threat to our democracy.
    I chalk it all up to the rightwing's affinity for authoritarianism, racism, white male hegemony, and irrational fear of the looming transgendered Kenyan-Muslim-Marxist dictatorship.

    If those guys were carrying guns and looked like the yokels from Duck Dynasty you wouldn't have one scintilla of fear over it.

    Typical con, has to make it personal. Anybody who even thinks trump has the brains, the ability and the temperament to be president is in no position to call me dumb.

    sorry.

    sorry you are such a sensitive little pussy that gets your retarded ass handed to you on a daily basis

    It's not about him being president, it's about his failure to carry out the office of the presidency in a manner befitting it. And if you support or excuse his lying, his tweeting, his grifting and amorality, then shame on you.
