Too late for Hilary.  O's hatred for her disallowed his involvement in that one.

Reports from primary voting in Wisconsin.
The country may be in lockdown, but Cheryl and Terrence Moore — black natives of the Deep South — felt there was no more important place to be Tuesday than their polling site,

“I would betray that legacy by staying home,” said the former South Carolinian, who waited 2 1/2 hours with his wife to cast their ballots at the city’s Riverside University High School. “It would be a dishonor not to honor them in this capacity.”

Amen.

Just as the GOP violated that legacy by blocking both the delay and the extension on absentee voting.

You two are gross hypocrites, but what else is new.

Stirring,  lovely,  and irrelevant to the obvious problem.   Take 180 polling stations in a largely Democratic city and divide by 36.  One station in 36 remains open.   Clearly,  some will not be able to vote in those circumstances.  Not rocket science.   


Is this what happened? People were sent home?

Reports from primary voting in Wisconsin.
The country may be in lockdown, but Cheryl and Terrence Moore — black natives of the Deep South — felt there was no more important place to be Tuesday than their polling site, in surgical masks and latex gloves, voting in Wisconsin’s fiercely disputed primary.
“After the polls taxes and the poll tests, the lynchings and attack dogs, our ancestors dying and people putting their lives at risk at every opportunity, not to do our part because of a virus?” said Terrence Moore, 50, a pastor and business development coordinator at a Milwaukee neighborhood chamber of commerce.

“I would betray that legacy by staying home,” said the former South Carolinian, who waited 2 1/2 hours with his wife to cast their ballots at the city’s Riverside University High School. “It would be a dishonor not to honor them in this capacity.”

The Moores said they weren’t the only ones who considered it their responsibility to turn out Tuesday, pandemic or no.
The diversity of those in line with them — black, white, Latino, Asian American, young, old, Democrat, independent, Republican — showed they were undeterred and united in purpose. “No one talked about what side they were on,” said Terrence Moore.

Los Angeles Times.

The only way Rethug candidates can win is by cheating.   Which is why they fought the election postponement tooth and nail in court.
You seem to overlook common sense and the facts.
No one “ cheated”. The Governor delayed trying to move the date and got caught by the Wisconsin laws. And the courts followed the law.
If election law is to be changed it has to be done by the Legislature not by Courts.
Oh and one other observation. The primary set a record for absentee ballots so a lot of voters saw what was unfolding and reacted by getting absentee ballots.
 Voting is a responsibility and takes a little work to do it correctly.
I’d say the Wisconsin voters did pretty well.

Yes. It was posted before.

People were sent home?

Where the fuck did you come up with that from what was written?

SCOTUS changed what the law says to something else.

Courts have been redirecting elections for a while now, as happened earlier this season.

And... the primary set a record for number of absentee ballots requested.

They set a record for number of absentee ballots not sent out promptly or received by the voters on a timely basis.

They also seem likely to have set a record for number of absentee ballots not received back by the clerks.

You have done an excellent job faking caring.

"Clearly some will not be able to vote..."

Very good.

You can cut and paste.

If only you could think in the process.

Reduced mechanisms for people to get to polls and grossly fewer polls, less conveniently placed around the city.

Lines multiple hours long.

CLEARLY SOME PEOPLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO VOTE.

And you got from that "people were sent home?" Dolt.

Ignoring as is your wont that the Repo majority legislature refused to act despite the obvious pandemic issue. Because they are fine with people in urban areas waiting 2 hours during a pandemic. And have your usual issue with the issues in the lives of others. At least, others that vote what is for you the wrong way.

Why are you starting trouble

People that were able to- and wanted to - wait in line - voted

And yes - of course less voted due to the virus.  That's human nature

On the 13th you can see who lost/what measures didnt pass, then cry about it.  Or move on.

What to do with November voting of course of much greater importance.

Those are just the Milwaukee numbers - as of 8:20 PM yesterday

Of course Madison was affected as well - and they have an even higher % of Dems
