Top Trump adviser: Republicans have 'always' relied on voter suppression [View all]

One of Donald Trump’s top re-election advisers told influential Republicans in swing-state Wisconsin that the party has “traditionally” relied on voter suppression to compete in battleground states, according to an audio recording of a private event. The adviser said later that his remarks referred to frequent and false accusations that Republicans employ such tactics.

As a Wisconsin resident, I hope the day will come when we find the smoking gun of voter suppression in Wisconsin.



Although the smell of gun powered is always in the air around election time.


And no, according to the experts it is not cordite. Your new fact for the day.

There is no Cordite whatsoever in modern ammunition.
With modern ammo, you can smell the pungent Nitroglycerin after firing.
The modern powder is basically sawdust soaked in nitro coated with graphite.
