How a Wave of New Voters Could Take Out Scott Walker in 2018

BY MICHAEL LEON at In These Times

"SNIP.........

Milwaukee is opening 20 voter registration kiosks at public libraries across the city, and will increase its early-voting sites from three to eight for the general election.

Universities have also joined in. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Andrew Goodman Foundation—named for an activist murdered in 1964 while helping black Mississippians register to vote—has funded three “Vote Everywhere Ambassadors” since 2016. Several campus wards saw record turnout in April.

Private groups have chipped in, too, such as a local taxi cooperative, Union Cab, which drove people to the polls for free.

In November, Madison, which votes more than 80 percent Democratic, could potentially increase the anti-Walker vote by tens of thousands over the 2014 election. Near-presidential-level turnout could signal the end of the Republicans’ voter obstruction project.

Walker will just steal the elections, like he did against Tom Barrett in the 2012 recall and against Hillary in 2016..
