NEW: The Democratic Party of Wisconsin endorses the call by civil rights groups & mayors across Wisconsin to postpone our April 7 election & remove barriers to safe voting by mail. We’re in court NOW. If judge doesn't act, legislature must. Help us fight: wisdems.org/forward
The GOP has intervened in court battle after court battle to shut off paths for voters to safely request absentee ballots & mail them in. Election is now scheduled just 6 days from now. Huge electoral stakes--see thread--and a public health emergency.
Republicans running our state legislature have aggressively cemented their control of Wisconsin's electoral system. The two ways to change the rules here are federal court and the legislature. We urge the court to make this critical election safe for all to vote.
No matter what the judge rules, no matter what the legislature does, we're running a huge organizing program to help people get and safely cast absentee ballots before the deadline (which we want extended). If you can contribute, we're grateful. If you can volunteer, please do!
The contribution link is at the top of this thread—which will help us scale up our organizing not just now, but also for November. And you can sign up for a virtual phone bank here. Just choose the community where you'd like to call voters: wisdems.org/2020
This election in Wisconsin will be like nothing anyone alive has ever seen. Polling locations are being closed and consolidated in real time. The National Guard is being called up to work polls. Let's help everyone possible cast votes safely.

Why does WI have an election? It's not just a primary—there are 3,831 state and local offices on the ballot, including a critical state Supreme Court justice and 1,596 county supervisors and officers. We need an election. But it should be postponed to give time to do it safely.
So many of our current election rules make no sense in the context of a pandemic. We hope and urge the court to grant relief to voters like Sally. If it finds that it cannot, the legislature must act, and act fast.

A donation of any amount goes extremely far right now, with our election just days away! Wisconsin will vote on a Supreme Court seat which could tilt November’s entire election, & we need the funds to both fight now and beat Trump in the fall. Donate here: WisDems.org/Forward
If you have some time on your hands on Friday, April 3, sign up now to call voters and let them know about the extension we just won in court—Wisconsinites now have an extra day to request an absentee ballot!
