Wisconsin Republicans Obstruct the Vote

Madison, Wisconsin — Everyone in Wisconsin, especially Republicans, know why Gov. Scott Walker and Republicans, and only Republicans, in the legislature transformed Wisconsin election law since 2011.

The corporate media and Republicans play dumb of-course.

The aim and objective of the Republican transformation of Wisconsin law is Republicans winning elections by obstructing as many non-Republican voters as possible.

But until we see headlines in the Wisconsin dailies reading: "Republicans' obstructing voters gets results," we still will have much of the political culture residing in what former Judge Richard Posner called a "fact-free cocoon."
