in the state that saw Evers, a Democrat, issue an executive order in the middle of the day Monday delaying in-person voting. The order was swiftly challenged by the Republican-controlled Legislature, and the state Supreme Court blocked it on Monday evening. In a separate ruling, the conservative majority in the U.S. Supreme Court reined in a lower-court ruling extending the deadline for absentee ballots.
“What’s happening in Wisconsin today flies in the face of every pronouncement that we have heard in the last three weeks pertaining to public health,” Mayor Tom Barrett of Milwaukee said in an interview with POLITICO. “Every announcement about stay home, social distancing, stay away from people. There is no scientific exemption for voting when it comes to Covid-19, and to pretend that there is is insanity.
Still, social media was flooded with photos and videos of the long lines outside of polling places, and news outlets aired footage showing some voters wearing masks, with most leaving much more room than usual between them and the person in front. When she arrived, she said, it wasn’t “crazy crowded, [but] there was a nice amount of people” at the polling place. Voters were adhering to social distancing as best as they could, said Gardner, who added that she wore masks and gloves to go vote.
Look voter suppression
The GOP prefers this way because they can cont. to fuck with the polls were POC/Dems vote like placing polls in gated communities where they can't access. But if you mail in your vote, then there isnt any obstruction. And ppl can have their votes count.
How about praising these brave people for getting out there to vote period. People want change . They are sick of this administration. I applaud them
All the Democrats are going to get voted out due to just a few of there leaders. Democratic Party is dead ,along with stations that called them selves news but are just a bunch of liars and listen to the devil !!!
They are risking their lives in the name of democracy and decency. Here's hoping they stay well and safe.
Mushrooms ! ! Keep 'em in the Dark and feed them Bullshit ! !
Every person who has to stand in line and vote who feels there life is in danger should sue the wisgop and WisGOP7 for personal injury under the intentional tort law. Any person that catches the virus from standing in line I would sue the hell out of them !
Maybe Wisconsin voters should be writing letters to their representatives demanding their resignation. If you're actually sick with a cold or a flu I would probably send two letters.
How would an elderly or handicapped person manage such a line? They couldn’t. Travesty.
MontyBoa99 Go Wisconsin! Show em!
Vote out America hating democrats!
Were in a pandemic with coronavirus why are people lined up and voting? Yall should be home. Who dropped the ball on this one?
Florida que thru this as well but we got it done
Power basically said .... “Go Ahead & Vote .... Sure You Wanna Do That .... Why Don’t You Chill & Leave Us In Power .... We’re Good” ....
Coincidence this is happen when presidential elections are here
Is this the line for Covid-19 state lawsuits?
Voter suppression someone needs to sue. This isnt the way America works but it’s what’s realDonaldTrump the asshole wants
May God bless EVERY great voter Wisconsin they ARE Democracy. The RightToVote is worth risking life to ensure. But it’s 2020, and we shouldn’t have to risk our lives to vote. Let every case of COVID19 & every death fall squarely at the feet of the .GOP ShameOnRepublicans
“Vote Or Die” Literally
This has been a Complete and total disaster for democracy, Wisconsin's courts are murdering Americans!
GhostOfLuv3 This con by the GOP is going to backfire. Not only are voters pissed to no end that they are being forced to chose their rights and patriotic civic responsibility over their personal health, this will blow up the arguments against making Election Day a holiday.
Politicians: Sacrifice your freedoms and income for your safety. Also politicians: Sacrifice your safety for our potential gains. COVID2019 WisconsinPrimary
Fantastic!!! 🇺🇸
Vote Red. SaveOutCountry
Wow Wisconsin you guys rock, coming out to vote during this covid pandemic. TY
Republicans are to blame if any Wisconsin voters lives & health are jeopardized during this COVID-19 pandemic. WisconsinPrimary WisconsinPandemicVoting WisconsinGOP wisconsinsupremecourt WisconsinGOPDisgrace
Thank you Wisconsin voters. Your courage clearly sends a message to everyone that right to vote will not be suppressed.
I guess the obsession with “pro-life” only applies to an unborn fetus. Sending ALL of the ppl in the State of Wisconsin out to Vote during the deadliest week of this viral outbreak is RECKLESS AND NEGLIGENT!!😡 Not to mention… MANY MANY Absentee ballots...ARE MISSING!!!!🤬🤦♀️
Bless these people 🙏🙏🙏
So they are safe. The whining and complaining is ridiculous. Safer to stand in that line then go to Walmart. Spinning this as a sad story is just more media bias.
Good on them. If they follow the guidelines set forth by the CDC on personal distancing they will be perfectly safe and have their voice heard.
I am so proud of WisconsinPrimary voters. My heart aches w patriotism. We can do this. WeAreInThisTogether
Heroes stand in line.
How is this different than standing in line to go into a grocery store?! Covid_19
Blessings to you all!
Dedicated patriots ✌🏻
Wisconsin must stay in line and vote. The republicans have been trying to suppress voting and it’s disgusting.
This is so wrong. Having these people out voting during a pandemic. Its just plain sad. Prayers for you all and hope all of this makes a BIG BLUE WAVE.
I sincerely hope the conservative judge loses to see if it was all worth it
Gotta respect the commitment to the democratic experiment.
Wisconsin shows GOP what’s to come in November. Gut the Republican Party, payback for gutting America.
So proud of you!
This is fucked up to say the least. People are going to get sick and die because of this.
Let this be a lesson as well. Let all us Dems sign up for mail in ballots so the gerrymandering, corrupt GOP has one less way to suppress our votes. SignUpForMailInBallots
It is a shame that the US Supreme Court put these important citizens in danger.
Our democracy is a sham
Yet still not far enough away especially with any wind whatsoever. Fuck JoeBiden and the GOP. They are committing thousands of counts of attempted murder and will most likely end up with a couple hundred deaths, each being one count of first-degree murder.
Voting for Bernie?
GodandtheBear this is a disgrace. it’s dangerous and it’s voter suppression. why did Biden push for the primary to continue?!
Roberts is a 🧩. He’s a problem.
I’ll stand in lines for hours in any pandemic to rid the world of the Trump Pandemic!
Voting is more important to Democrats then Americans life’s ! Truly shameful disgusting!
OddlyB Bless all those in WI for going and voting!
America has been turned into a bunch of pussies. There are countries where you can get shot, due to elections occurring in the middle of civil wars and violent political unrest. We take things for granted so badly it’s embarrassing
Gov. Evers earlier admitted publicly he had no authority to order changes in a voting date. Then he did it anyway. (Remind you of anyone? DACA) The SCOTUS & state supreme court agreed & ruled according to the state constitution. Left is forever trying to undo voting laws. Why?
I salute the people of Wisconsin 🧀👏
Don't back down, Wisconsinites! Proud of everyone of you exercising your right to vote!! 🗳
Both heartbreaking and heroic.
Thank you all and stay safe kids. VoterSuppression VoteBlue2020 💙🌊💙
So glad I live in Ohio where we could request a ballot and mail it.
BarbP11 It is just SO fucking UNBELIEVABLE that these residents had to do this!!😖😖😖😖😖
See? That wasnt very hard
Wisconsin State Justices who voted to FORCE a required election today should be brought up on charges of 1st Degree Murder with as many counts as gets recorded in the next three weeks.
I was able to submit my absentee ballot last week. Every one in line is my hero, but it should never have come to this...WI Republicans and the Supreme Court this is all on you when our Covid-19 start to climb even higher
Don’t be surprised if the Dems will win that WI Supreme Court seat. People are livid mad at Trump/Wisconsin Repubs AND most people don’t have to go to work right now AND it’s 75 & sunny in Milwaukee & Madison today. Don’t ever discount how much people are willing to risk to vote.
Asinine gop legislators and courts who thought this was a good idea-we’ll see in 2-3 wks
I pray the Wisconsin voters are smart. What we’re going through right now should have taught them to be very careful about who they vote for.
How awful! Can’t wait to see Covid data in Wisconsin after this. Hats off to those brave voters!
All Republicans
Because ppl are sick and tired
I am so sorry Wisconsin. You are performing above and beyond your duty. Risking life today for a better life tomorrow.
Good for them.
Bravo to Wisconsin voters. Hopefully they vote democratic and send a message to Drumpf.
Way to go Wisconsin!!!
Hell yeah!
Can’t stop this. Its Democracy in action.
What ever the People in Wisconsin do today it should be to get rid of the GOP.
They should start chanting F&$ the GOP
They're not braving long lines
I applaud Wisconsin voters; demonstrating their courage, determination and steadfastness in this ongoing crisis.
Good for them, I’d do the same.
Red landslide!
The only PLUS SIDE to holding an election during this dangerous time is the fact that many Americans aren't at work... which means, they'll get a chance to vote, even if it means they risk their health.
It’s essential to vote and possible to do it safely. We will all want to vote in November. Now there is no way to stop that election.
A note to the president, the Republican party; they're risking their lives because of your actions. They're coming out to get rid of you! All of you. You're party's dead after this year. If you're GOP, you won't be allowed to manage a buffet let alone a place in politics.
Voting up just because people want to get the hell out of their homes.
Wisc is amazing thank you. 🌹🙏
The GOP seeing this
Can't hold back the blue wave
Third world country
