City Center Milwaukee | Voting opportunity for different citizen-sectors within the State of Wisconsin is problematic - transportation, high homeless rate, students, disabled and seniors. Therefore, every opportunity to make the Constitutional right a reality is a "plus" for the township, city, and state. This is especially true for Milwaukeans. When politics get in the way Constitutional rights can easily be compromised. It is seen as gaming the system for one's advantage.
Today, SUPERVISOR KHALIF RAINEY, 2nd District, has a press release to address and remind the citizenry of WI Senate Bill 324.
Milwaukee County Supervisor Khalif Rainey said today that a proposal to limit early voting hours, calling it "a broadside to the ability of minority voters to turn out at the polls."
"This is one of the most anti-democratic proposals ever cooked up by those who want to limit minority participation in the election process," Rainey said of Senate Bill 324. "Who benefits from eliminating early voting hours? The very people who are proposing this legislation. This is a piece of legislation that should be rejected by anyone who believes we need to expand access to voting, not restrict it."
