Everyone is rightfully expecting a massive turnout at the polls for the mid-term elections. Appeals to vote are everywhere, but I want to emphasize that people need to study up a little before going to the polls.
Embedded above is an excerpt from an informative flyer distributed to voters in Wisconsin with content from the League of Women Voters. The flyer was circulated by Wisconsin Conservation Voters (note "conservation" = environment, not "conservative") in order to call attention not to the candidates but to three proposed state constitutional amendments. One of these amendments is entitled "Freedom to Gather During an Emergency," which sounds like a variation on the basic "freedoms" so treasured by Americans, but it is actually a proposal that would limit or prevent the state from locking down during an lethal virus emergency.
I'll not discuss the flyer any further here, because it's a Wisconsin matter, but I would encourage everyone to check various online sources regarding non-candidate proposals on upcoming ballots in your state.
(If readers want to alert others re deceptive proposals on other state ballots, feel free to do so in the Comments).
