for the study is from 2010. How is the incarceration rate prior to Walker becoming governor his fault?

He's been too busy arranging for the absconding of taxpayer money by his buddies who will turn around and give him a tithe for his campaign.

And it's only the census data that is from 2010. If you look at the original study, it includes data as recently as 2012.

..bound to find SOMETHING that you can jail them for....

Damn it.

I'm thinking the unannounced yet fully intended consequences of the Koch funded experiment that is now, Wisconsin.
The spawn of the John Birch Society has it's father's eyes, blood shot, beady, and constantly looking for a way to subjugate non-whites.

What more evidence did the voters need?

And no private prisons, either. We fuck up the lives of black men entirely on the taxpayer's back.

On edit - I was wrong. My bad.

"Thanks to Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) prison chain gangs are no longer a thing of the past. After successfully ramming through legislation that dismantles almost all collective bargaining rights for civil servants, Walker has now turned to prisoners to fill jobs that used to be held by unionized workers...."

When the 2010 census was taken, a Democrat was Governor. Wanker didn't take over until 2011.

And get further details as to current relevance.

The WI Governor has been republican 19 of the last 27 years.

Crush the Kochroach in our House.

I've lived in WI for 59 years. It wasn't so long ago that this was a great state to live in. The decline took off with a vengeance on January 3rd, 2011.

Unless this occurred under Walker's watch, then basically we are being asked to endorse lying to register voters.

Not cool

Then a few white lies and a touch of obfuscation never hurts. JMHO

Edited to add:

And hyperbole is really not necessary

Tough audience...

BTW, AIP, I updated my post to include the sarcasm tag, sorry if I unnecessarily annoyed you.

that Republicans are misguided and wrong headed, but their voters are not a threat to humanity. It is laughable to say they are. I am all about solutions that bring left and right together to move this country forward, not label 30-40% of the population of this country the enemy of humanity.

but if we can never address the urgent and grave problems humanity now faces, such as global climate change projections of devastation, mass migrations, anarchy and chaos starting as soon as 2035, then I take you to task. Now you likely think I'm exaggerating, and that's your prerogative.

Take care, my friend, and I wish you the best, regardless of your next post.

"those problems". And that bears no connection to how lying to voters helps.

the other one was making vague statements about the survival of human beings by egregiously lying to voters.

very well. But please continue to educate us all on how lying to voters is a good idea.

Why don't you enlighten me?

but I really find no reason to keep this conversation going. You win, buddy.

At no point did you ever justify yourself or say ANYTHING that was an attempt to answer my questions. This is a message board, if you make outlandish claims that LYING to voters is worth it, be prepared to back it up with facts. There will be a lot of discussions like this between you and other posters if you don't back up your words with facts. I would be very happy to have a factual discussion with you that includes something other than your opinion that lying to voters is a cool thing to do.

Or are you implying that Americans of European heritage are less likely to commit crimes?

their right to vote.

The article I read made it seem that probationary, parole periods, and any period of penalty such as hours of community service are included in the voting exclusion.

Some states allow voting as soon as a person is released from jail, but not WI.
