The Trump campaign argues voters who cast absentee ballots in person should be disqualified because the ballots did not include separate applications and that many more people claimed to be indefinitely confined than exist.
Now, the affected voters face losing their voice in the election after following state guidance that was promoted widely, including by the president who at an Oct. 17 rally in Janesville told the crowd "early voting begins on Tuesday so get out and vote."
"I think they’re trying to take our votes away," said Mose Fuller, a pastor at St. Timothy Community Baptist Church on Milwaukee's north side. "I personally think they are destroying the whole concept of what democracy is all about. It’s an unpatriotic and un-American thing that they’re trying to do."
Fuller, 69, cast an absentee ballot in person at Milwaukee's Midtown polling location, a voting center located among predominantly Black neighborhoods.
