I waited 2.5 hours today in rain and hail (and a mask and gloves) to vote in Milwaukee because @wisgop and @scotus would rather risk lives than have a fair election. Instead of 182 polling sites, we had 5. #VoterSuppression #WisconsinPrimary pic.twitter.com/9F8xKwciOX — Trudy Harwood (@TrudyandPierre) April 8, 2020 .

With few open polling places, huge lines form at Milwaukee polls during pandemic
My friend Erin Stilp took this video, her sister-in-law is in line. This is at Riveraide HS in Mke. This is my normal polling place, but I voted absentee. Hundreds in line and very long wait.

The Republican party is a minority party in this country, and it knows it can only continue to hold power by preventing people from voting. Their latest maneuver is to terrorize the people of Wisconsin by raising the stakes so that casting a vote could cost voters their lives. https://t.co/FNcXhCh0tS — Walter Shaub (@waltshaub) April…
