Senate Bill Would Limit Early Absentee Voting Hours
Opponents of SB324, a bill that would curtail absentee voting hours, say the measure is an attack on large urban areas like Milwaukee.
The Republican-backed legislation would limit early voting to 45 hours per week on weekdays only for the two weeks before an election. Weekend voting would no longer take place.
In the 2012 presidential election, 35,000 people in Milwaukee voted early: all of them had to come downtown to the city's municipal building or City Hall.
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says by trying to cut back early voting hours, it appears Republicans want to frustrate people into not voting.
The goal is to just jam up the city of Milwaukee and other large municipalities, Barrett said. Let's just jam it up and have people frustrated and leave the polls.

Will Republicans finally admit it's not about "ID's"? Will they finally come clean and admit that Americans don't like their policies of screwing over the middle class and the poor? The only way a party that's 90% white can win is to cheat? Some Republicans admit it, but will USMB Republicans ever stand up and admit the truth?
