This is another of those obvious positions some will twist themselves into pretzels trying to generate a counter-argument. The Republican faction on the Supreme Court was able to twist the law into a pretzel. They required Wisconsinites to vote at polling locations drastically reduced in number partly because the old folks who usually staff these locations were too afraid to show up. Hours standing in line. Just to be clear the argument given that “we have to do it like we said we would” is laughable given the adjustments made to how the vote was carried out. The experience was nothing even close to the experience that was planned.
You know I have a home in Wisconsin and the Governors of both Minnesota and Wisconsin strongly encourage us not to travel across state lines. Citizen groups in “cabin country” despite the loss in revenue were sending the same message to those in homeowner associations. Don’t show up until the situation improves. Since I can stay at my home in Minnesota, this makes my travel to what I consider my other residence nonessential. Home to home. No need to get out of the car until I get there. Still, the concern for my safety and others I could infect if I happen to be infected results in the don’t travel position by governors of both states. Beware of having the wrong license plate on your car when you cross a border.
Still, the Republicans in Wisconsin and on the Supreme Court expected folks my age who spend a couple more months a year in Wisconsin than I do show up to vote on the date originally designated. Other states found a way. Why not Wisconsin?
