Wisconsin: Squat Wanker's 33 pieces of legislation designed to cripple honest elections

http://journaltimes.com/news/state-and-regional/timeline-changes-scott-walker-has-made-to-voting-and-elections/article_315acad4-2cba-5161-a003-c229441d9663.html?comment_form=true


Since Gov. Scott Walker took office in 2011, he has signed or made changes to 33 pieces of legislation that affect how Wisconsin residents vote, according to data from the Wisconsin Legislative Council.

Changes range from the first bill on voting rights passed in 2011 clarifying how municipal clerks must handle absentee ballots to the latest pair of bills signed earlier in December reorganizing the Government Accountability Board and lifting caps on how campaigns are financed by businesses and political action committees.

The most changes were made during the 2013-14 session when Walker signed 16 bills into law. He has signed seven into law so far this session, which ends officially in January, 2017. Scroll through the timeline and check out the legislative memos linked with each act.




Unfortunately I can't embed the slide show detailing this legislation, but it's at the link.

in the salty-language segment of my vocabulary that would be adequate to even come close to describing the contempt I have for that vile waste of good air that should be put to better use by endangered species.

Wisconsin residents standard of living before Snottie,and what has really happened as of today. From what we hear from the Rellies,it is not pretty and they seem to be blaming everyone but themselves for voting the ALEC/Koch ticket. Not once but twice,and they blame all their issues on Obama. Never thought we would see the day. Democrats in Wisconsin have some real struggles ahead of them.

Conservative bent in the late 50's and early 1960's to a very Democratic Party State. And we did it with those Radical College Kids in towns like Eau Claire,LaCrosse,Whitewater,Superior and of course Madison. What is so funny is,the present runamuck group in control now, were the YGOP ers who were our opposition and fought us tooth and nail. These were the same people who were at the time,preaching the John Birch message,and supporting Nixon. And,the Newspapers of the day tended to favor workers over the ruling class monied folks.
