ABSENTEE / MAIL-IN VOTING IN WISCONSIN

We have August primaries and the November election coming up.

I don't know what will be going on by then in terms of the virus or voter suppression, but I'm voting by mail. Please make sure your friends, relatives, and neighbors know how to do this.

They arrived several days ago. Neither of us had gotten around to requesting them yet. It was a pleasant surprise, and we appreciate the convenience, with one reservation. For what it’s worth, we live in a heavily Republican district with very few people of color. One might wonder.

any which way they can to keep the moron in office.

If you've requested one before, you may have checked the "all of 2020" box.

On the top of the page use the "search by name" button, then scroll down to "my absentee status".

I'm seriously thinking of dropping my Nov. 3 ballot off at City Hall. They have a drop box available, and you can use the drive-through.

..for every woman I could on my ballot.

Vote this week, because you can. Use your right, when it's convenient for you.

Mon - Fri 8am to 4pm at any municipal clerk's office.


Let scare the crap out of the entire nation and purge the GOP ( they deserve a time out for two years).

Vote like it's 1936.
( Voters left the GOP with 88 House seats and 18 Senate seats, and FDR's depression recovery New Deal went forward with great enthusiasm. )

DO IT.

Take a few minutes to get to your municipal clerk's office and vote early.
Time is running out for early voting.

When you do vote early, make sure you get an absentee ballot for Nov. They should offer that option for you.

Vote at home in Nov, skip the cold weather, show your kids how a ballot is designed and why...and then let them see you mark the ballot,
put it into the onvelope, get it validated with another signature ( citizen's helping each other) and take it to the Post Office, a drop off station, or back to the clerk's office ( where all elections are counted)

Let you kids understand how a democracy works....by voting at home.

Can't see why not. I live near poll, minutes in an out, they (and I) take all precautions to lessen Covid transmission. Mail-in's are really being targeted by the CONniving freak show in control.
