I realize that republicans understand that they can't win without voter suppression, but what's going on in Wisconsin is shocking. Hopefully even republican voters will find what their legislature, and now their republican controlled supreme court and the republicans on the US supreme court did, to be beyond the pale. Telling people they need to risk their lives in order to exercise their right to vote is about as unamerican as anything I can think of at the moment.
If republicans keep fighting against mail ballots for everyone across the country the political ads practically write themselves: "{insert name of republican state representative of pushed against mail voting} thinks you should have to risk your life to vote. Why do they want you to risk dying in order to exercise your right to vote?"
Of course, considering that older americans tend to vote republican, and that the areas where they live will likely be slammed with covid illness a few months later than the more urban blue areas, this republican strategy, if successful, may backfire tremendously on them if smaller cities/towns/rural areas are getting hit hard by covid by this fall. Obviously that's a big unknown. What's not unknown is that only one of our two main political parties wants everyone to be able to safely vote.
