How the Koch Brothers Are Blocking the Vote in Wisconsin

Once again, the Koch Brothers are pouring money into a campaign to keep Wisconsin Democrats from voting in the recall elections. Although the general elections are taking place on August 9th, absentee ballots sent out by the Koch-funded group Americans for Prosperity to voters in heavily-Democratic districts "mysteriously" claim that the ballots must be returned only by August 11th. This blatant attempt at election fraud could not be more obvious. 

The Koch Brothers have seemingly limitless funds to devote towards any measure of fraud to confuse, dissuade and ultimately frustrate Democrats away from the polls. The Nation‘s John Nichols joined Mahlon Mitchell, President of the Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, on last night’s episode of The Ed Show to discuss the Koch-fueled fraud.

Become a Sustaining Donor This September

Between the reemergence of right-wing red-baiting and Donald Trump’s use of the chilling National Security Presidential Memorandum–7 to criminalize left political organizing, we’re seeing McCarthyism reborn before our eyes.

This assault on democracy cannot be ignored or wished away. Resisting it requires bravery in the face of threats and repression, a steadfast commitment to the truth, and the unwavering belief that we can—and will—overcome this darkness.

We must have an independent media that sets the record straight, unearths corruption and abuses of power, and advances a politics of justice and dignity for all if we’re to win this fight.

That’s why I’m writing to you today. This September, The Nation needs to add 100 monthly donors to sustain our progressive journalism. Your contribution makes the next investigative report, the next truth-speaking column, and the next pathbreaking essay all possible. 

I hope you’ll support our work with a recurring donation today. If you donate $10 or more a month, we’ll send you a brand new “Hands Off the Free Press!” sticker to recognise your commitment to our cause. Please, donate today. 

Onward,

Katrina vanden Heuvel
