If Trump and Wisconsin GOP politicians at Trump’s Milwaukee rally are so confident of success, why rush to purge more than 200,000 voters from Wisconsin’s voter rolls because of supposed faulty addresses?

Many times the most harmful federal policies are those designed to “help” vulnerable communities, which is why several of Wisconsin’s tribes are gravely concerned about the Veterans and Consumers Fair Credit Act – a new bill sponsored by Wisconsin Congressman Glenn Grothman.
