voter suppression was seriously on display here this election - the first one with WI voter ID law in place, said to be the most severe and onorous in the nation. Students and others need multiple sets of documentation - eg not only ID but proof your actually in school attending.

Consequently, total repub vote was significantly more than total vote for Bernie + HRC. The repub-backed State Supreme Court candidate won 52%-48%

Celebrate but.... we got work to do here unless yall want to be seriously depressed come November. Theres a reason why they've been messing with us "swing states" like WI.
