WISCONSINITES: Election Day is Tuesday! It’s the primary for our local spring elections—which matter more this year than ever. I was on @Maddow last night talking about it! Watch the clip… and then read and share this thread:

Wisconsin’s election on Tuesday, February 15 is the primary for April 5 general elections for judges, mayors, city councilmembers, school boards, and more. All of these offices matter. And some of them affect how elections are administered—which has enormous implications.

Anti-democracy, Big Lie-believing Republicans are getting involved in these races.

Kelly Ruh, a fraudulent GOP elector and top Kleefisch advisor, is running for reelection to De Pere City Council. Melinda Eck, who organized a January 6 rally at Green Bay City Hall, is running for Green Bay City Council.

If pro-insurrectionists decide on election administration budgets and choose municipal clerks, democracy in Wisconsin is in danger. That makes April 5 a critical priority—and the Primary election next Tuesday, February 15 is when it all starts.

Voting is habit-forming. The more people turn out on Feb 15, the more people we know will turn out on April 5—and in November, to re-elect Governor Evers and beat Ron Johnson. So let’s turn out voters for this Tuesday! Here’s @WisDems guide to get moving: vote.wisdems.org

First: make sure you're registered to vote. Check your voter registration status! If you’re not registered, no worries—Wisconsin has same-day registration, so you can register when you go to vote. (Just remember to bring your Proof of Residence document.)

Second: find your polling place or, if you have an absentee ballot, your clerk or nearest dropbox location. Some polling locations are open this weekend for early voting! Get the info and make your plan to vote now: myvote.wi.gov/en-us/Find-My-…

Not sure what’s on your ballot? See: myvote.wi.gov/en-us/Whats-On…

By the way: It’s too late to request an absentee ballot for this coming Tuesday, but you can request one for the rest of the year at this website: myvote.wi.gov/voteabsentee

And if you have any voting questions, call our Voter Assistance Hotline: 608-DEM-3232. We have fantastic, trained volunteers who are waiting for your call! If they’ve missed you, leave a voicemail, and they’ll call you back within 24 hours.

About that plan to vote: what time are you voting? How are you getting there? Is there anyone you can bring with you? Great, great, and extra great. Write it all down. Voila! Your plan to vote is ready.

Now that you’ve made your plan to vote, make sure others do the same—text and call your friends and family. Or help us reach other Wisconsinites! We have a Weekend of Action THIS weekend to turn out voters for Tuesday. Sign up for a shift here:

Even if there’s no local election for you to vote in this Spring Primary, you can get involved in organizing to spread the word. Whether it’s calling, texting, or reaching out to friends—there’s always something for you to do to get out the vote with us.
