Votes Matter ! 

(The Case of Wisconsin)

- by TPO -

“Seriously, votes do matter.  Why else were there only 5 polling places in Milwaukee? ...  And normally, there are 180 polling places in Milwaukee...talk about voter suppression .... "
~ A commenter on Facebook

Regarding the recent voter turnout in Wisconsin's Supreme Court Race, the difficult and unjust hurdles put in front of democrat voters were unheard of before.  The intention was voter suppression by psychological means where voters were actually forced to vote in person in the middle of the on-going pandemic.  But, voters still turned out in large numbers and the nation and Wisconsinites were very impressed.

Someone on Facebook opined, "It bodes badly for red States."  I agree.  Republicans are taking big risks with the health of their citizens by playing political strategies that they think will hurt democrats at the ballot box.  Not accommodating citizens is nothing but a twisted (evil) form of voter suppression.

Republicans are overlooking something they shouldn't. COVID-19 doesn't limit itself to only the democrats who had to risk their lives for the sake of voting. There is a reason why it is called a pandemic, it even crosses oceans to find victims.

The rulers in the red States forget that when it rains, "it rains on the just and the unjust" !  Oh, and one more important thing ... Come November, Voters (including republicans) will remember what all these shenanigans have done to their States. There will be hell to pay !!! 🤔 😏

At present, we can surmise that as Wisconsin is now virtually a red State, it is being viewed as a beacon State by other red States.  The reason, basically, is because Wisconsin is a State where outside elements (money) have come in and subverted the peoples' real political leanings to what they did not use to be. There has been a big republican victory.  Wisconsin used to be blue and liberal same as Minnesota. The people of the two States were (still are) actually not too far apart politically.  However, somehow, things have been artificially made different in Wisconsin in the last decade or so.

Furthermore, now, especially with the republicans' pushing the envelope too far, things may be coming to a head.  The republicans may have bitten off more than they can chew not only in Wisconsin, but also in other red States who aim to follow Wisconsin's example.  Add in the COVID-19 factor which so far has not been positive for politicians, especially republicans ... and there could be big surprises in November, not all pleasant! 🤔 🙂

Epilogue: The outcome of this election was a resounding victory for democrats on April 14, 2020 ! The republican incumbent was soundly beaten by a democrat.  This definitely can be seen as a harbinger of republican's downfall in November !!
