Wisconsin Voter ID law suppressed 200K votes; DT won by 23K.
And the laws disproportionately affected lower income and minority voters.
So much for the idea that she lost Wisconsin because her message didn't appeal to white working class voters. (Who did vote for her over Trump.)

Prior to the 2016 election, Eddie Lee Holloway Jr., a 58-year-old African-American man, moved from Illinois to Wisconsin, which implemented a strict voter-ID law for the first time in 2016. He brought his expired Illinois photo ID, birth certificate, and Social Security card to get a photo ID for voting in Wisconsin, but the DMV in Milwaukee rejected his application because the name on his birth certificate read “Eddie Junior Holloway,” the result of a clerical error when it was issued. Holloway ended up making seven trips to different public agencies in two states and spent over $200 in an attempt to correct his birth certificate, but he was never able to obtain a voter ID in Wisconsin. Before the election, his lawyer for the ACLU told me Holloway was so disgusted he left Wisconsin for Illinois.
Holloway’s story was sadly familiarin 2016. According to federal court records, 300,000 registered voters, 9 percent of the electorate, lacked strict forms of voter ID in Wisconsin. A new study by Priorities USA, shared exclusively with The Nation, shows that strict voter-ID laws, in Wisconsin and other states, led to a significant reduction in voter turnout in 2016, with a disproportionate impact on African-American and Democratic-leaning voters. Wisconsin’s voter-ID law reduced turnout by 200,000 votes, according to the new analysis. Donald Trump won the state by only 22,748 votes.

The lost voters skewed more African-American and more Democrat. For example, Wisconsin’s 2016 electorate was 6.1% more Republican, and 5.7% less Democrat, than the group of ‘lost voters’. Furthermore, the WI electorate was 3.7% more White and 3.8% less African American than the group of ‘lost voters.’ This analysis suggests that the 200,000 lost voters would have both been more racially diverse and have voted more Democratic.

For MONTHS if not YEARS OP.
And unfortunately, we still have many Dems and loudmouths & know-it-alls like Sarandon and Cornell West fighting the primaries who still think that Bernie would have wiped the floor with tRump in the GE. Like ANY Dem would have been immune from russia & voter-suppression. Again, do folk like them even CARE about the massive amounts of voter-suppression that took place against the Dem party, or do they seriously think that Bernie would have been immune to the dirty tricks (voter-suppression/allowing the ruskies to interfere into our elections) treasonous tRumputin/the treasonous GOP employed in winning all 3 branches of our government 
I stand by my assertion that NO Dem was going to win the 2016 General Election. Not Bernie & not VP Biden, who continues to say that Hillary was a bad candidate (tRumputin wasn't a bad and hideously flawed candidate?) which is why she lost, and that he'd have been a better candidate 
Dems will be in for more disastrous Senate losses than thought in 2018, and possibly the Presidency etc. in 2020 no matter how many irate, anti-tRumputin/GOP/ruskie voters turn out to vote. tRumputin/the GOP will have "help from their friends" the ruskies, who'll do whatever they have to do to KEEP the numbers of Dem voters low "enough" to keep tRumputin/the GOP in power so our country will stay paralyzed and in the utter TURMOIL & chaos it's deeply mired in.
What Dems can do about this with 2018 only a year away, I've NO clue. LOOK at who our current Pres. IS:treasonous/racist/insane tRumputin. Look at who the current AG IS: treasonous/racist beauguard. We know what they think about minorities voting and all. Now, we've had a few positive SC rulings concerning voter-suppression and the like go our way: TX and NC, but that's sure to change sometime, so we'd better do the next best thing and talk about the data in this article, and bring up other credible, documented instances of voter-suppression taking place against our party INCESSANTLY and whenever we can in as many places as possible.
