Wisconsin clerk limits early voting because ‘students lean more toward the Democrats’
But it’s only Democrats who rig elections, we are told.
Click here for reuse options!Kris Teske, the city clerk in Green Bay, argued that her office lacks the resources to set up an additional polling location near the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay — but an email released as part of an open-records request found her cooking up a convoluted legal claim to prevent students from voting, reported The Nation…
Teske — who was appointed by Republican Mayor Jim Schmitt, a close ally of Gov. Scott Walker — bristled at requests from a “very persistent” Democratic state lawmaker, Eric Genrich, to open an additional polling location near the campus…
“I have heard it said that students lean more toward the democrats and he is a democrat,” she wrote. “I have spoken with our Chief of Staff and others at City Hall and they agree that budget wise this isn’t going to happen.”
Teske explicitly asked the attorney from the bipartisan state commission whether she could deny students additional hours to vote because they were more likely to cast ballots for Democratic candidates.
“I would like to know your thoughts on this,” Teske wrote. “Do I have an argument about it being more of a benefit to the democrats.”

Throw the b*tch in jail!…..This is a paid political announcement from people who give a sh*t about Democracy!!

They don’t even try anymore to hide their scorn for the Constitution.

She is in a decision capacity for elections and she is this Goddamn stupid? Felling like this is one thing, being so dense you put it in writing on the net is colossal. Fire her ass. I assume the WI Dems are filing legal suit to remove her from anything electoral.
God what is it with WI? For years it had a reputation as a Progressive state. Now it is starting to look like Appalachia at least around the edges.

Something got into the water when Walker was elected…

Not only progressive but also a reputation for honest, fair and open elections.
BUT Republicans can’t win that way.
Bunya October 27th, 2016 at 15:03
We had the same problem in Illinois when the ill-informed voted for Bruce Rauner. He won’t win re-election, but he caused quite a bit of damage while serving.

Well Mr Trump, here is somebody trying to rig the election
Mike October 25th, 2016 at 16:21
Not so sure students favor the dems…they are certainly more liberal than the general population when it comes to social issues like gender equality and same sex marriage but I’m with em all day and they can be a mixed-up can of nuts … they go through pains to think outside the box and challenge logical assumptions.

ann coltergiest once said that women shouldn’t be allowed to go to university or vote because of education and they tend to vote dems. well, i wonder the hell why?

Why be concerned about voter fraud when all the frauds have been elected and appointed already……….as republicans.
Dwendt44 October 25th, 2016 at 18:30
They rant and rave about voter fraud. A large part of the reason is that it distracts the public’s attention away from the ‘election fraud’ they love to practice.
Foundryman October 25th, 2016 at 16:49
It’s no secret that Wisconsin has the most corrupt republican party in the country. Stealing elections is a way of life for them.
granpa.usthai October 25th, 2016 at 22:36
2nd most corrupt. NC leads the way for ‘christian’ religious based corruption!
BAR NONE!
William October 25th, 2016 at 16:53
She’s just trying to level the playing field. Hillary has already bought the election as proven by this recently released Russian…er I mean WikiLeaks document. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/347bd0291a75c8f73d54e19620e3cc2fb05bca747cff0fdb410896c99eb4ea39.jpg

What, no tip?
StoneyCurtisll October 25th, 2016 at 21:34
The tip is….(dont vote republican)
Mensa Member October 25th, 2016 at 22:47
Did the conservative media work for free? Or is it hidden in Trump’s tax returns?
Scott S October 25th, 2016 at 23:42
Oh you mean the Russians who are doing everything they can to elect the orange cheetoh? Nobody in the history of this country has been as inexperienced and dangerous as Donald Trump and yet normalized by the media.. the Republicans are getting exactly what they deserve for nominating the idiot .. your stupid, childish remarks and images won’t change that.

This is great example of voter fraud/suppression

GB is another world
jybarz October 25th, 2016 at 20:51
The BITCH should be charged for voter suppression.
StoneyCurtisll October 25th, 2016 at 21:34
And it’s Trump and the right that are crying, “it’s rigged”…
granpa.usthai October 25th, 2016 at 22:33
this is probably one of the reasons?
{if one side is doing it, the other probably is too}
The Original Just Me October 26th, 2016 at 01:54
If you want to know what the Republicans are up to, just look at what they are accusing the Democrats of doing.
StoneyCurtisll October 26th, 2016 at 20:09
Exactly~!
Mensa Member October 25th, 2016 at 22:44
Is it asking to much for conservatives to accept the basic American principles of democracy?
Their efforts at voter suppression are a clear rejection of core American values.
Bunya October 27th, 2016 at 14:57
When have republicans ever given a damn about American values? For them, winning must be accomplished, no matter how much they have to lie, steal and cheat. It’s been that way since the Nixon era.
fahvel October 26th, 2016 at 05:20
the bitch should be tossed in a dumpster and sent off to some mini dictatorship where her dreams will all come true. It’s another sad commentary about the usa.
Stan Ubeki October 26th, 2016 at 10:06
What amazes me is that this abomination of a public servant is stupid enough to say this out loud. We have normalized ignorance.
