One Wisconsin Institute joined community leaders and organizations in Milwaukee for a press conference about the dozens of voter suppression billboards, targeting communities of color.
“I think that these billboards are designed to suppress the vote. That is their intention,” says Scot Ross, executive director of One Wisconsin Institute.
Voting is both our right and our civic responsibility. It is how we shape the future of our communities and hold our elected representatives accountable.
Wisconsin is the only state to formally allow electronic copies of documents to be used to prove residency for voter registration.
The Institute is urging GAB to update and evaluate their interpretation of Wisconsin law to allow legal voters to use electronic billing statements.
Laws which promote voter participation, such as no-excuse absentee balloting and Election Day registration must remain in place.
Voter rights and expanding access to the polls are the main topics of the One Wisconsin Institutes second annual Protect Wisconsins Vote Education Summit.
One Wisconsin Institute is hosting the first Protect Wisconsin’s Vote Education Summit, an educational forum including a panel discussion and short film screenings.
On Thursday evening the One Wisconsin Institute is hosting the Protect Wisconsin’s Vote Education Summit in Milwaukee.
