Ballot Box Rally
May this gathering serve as an example to any other city or town in this state, to let you know, we are watching. We see what you are doing. We will not stand for it. Making it harder to vote is out of touch with Wisconsin values.
Donning a hard hat and moving a ballot box is a political stunt. The Supreme Court handed down their decision, and no one is above the law. As citizens, we are holding people who do these acts accountable. We urge all other citizens to pay attention as well.
Our democracy is stronger when all voters can cast their ballots. Ballot drop boxes provide a safe and accessible option for our hardworking neighbors, families, healthcare workers and first responders, as well as older voters to participate in our democratic process and make sure their voices are heard. We are fed up with politicians using conspiracy theories.
No matter which party you support, secure ballot drop boxes will give all registered voters in Wisconsin more ways to participate and safely cast their ballot. Each day that the ballot box was not out there, you have deprived our workforce along with our farmers of the opportunity to vote. With higher demands placed in workers in many facilities mandating longer shifts, along with trying to maintain family balance with family responsibilities, voters face a great disadvantage when it comes to casting their vote. This is a deprivation of their liberty.
We should not penalize voters because of their health, age, job, family, or where they live. We will continue to fight voter suppression tactics and organize to ensure voters have many dependable options when casting their ballot. Drop boxes are a safe, reliable, and secure option that strengthen our democracy. Today, this is what people-power looks like. We are watching.
