voter suppression

this just in. you're not going to believe this. or maybe you will. it's totally disgusting. let me just tell you that what appears below is the exact text of a flyer (crude in content and appearance) that was handed to a high school student in milwaukee by a black man who appeared to be homeless. let me also tell you that yes, we issued a swift and sharp response as soon as we caught wind. and that wind (hopefully) is about to blow into a national typhoon. stay tuned.

FLYER TEXT (VER BATIM):

milwaukee black voters league
