As some of yall have indicated, there is the requirement that poll workers be county resident.

So National Guard could only be deployed to the county they live in. So Milw County apparently had disproportionately less National Guard residents.

BUT STILL....

Net effect was bad bad bad. Net effect was the most African American county in WI was woefully underserved, the blue vote most certainly suppressed.

And this is not to diss dems, but to say.... this was the trial run. What could have been done differently? what is the contingency plan for November 2020 (assuming the same suppression laws still in place) , how do we work around/overcome the voter suppression obstacles that are certain to be in our path ?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
