A recent text message sent to young voters in Wisconsin has sparked concerns about potential voter intimidation tactics in the battleground state. The unsolicited message, which was sent to individuals in their early 20s on University of Wisconsin campuses and beyond, contained a warning about potential fines and prison time for violating state statutes related to voting.
The text message referenced Wisconsin Statutes 12.13 and 6.18, which pertain to absentee voting by former residents and the consequences of election fraud. However, it was the directive of 'don't vote' in the message that has raised alarm among voter protection groups.
