Voting rights advocates have raised concerns over anonymous text messages sent to young Wisconsin voters, warning them not to vote in the state. The messages, which reference Wisconsin state law on voting eligibility, have sparked fears among students and other young voters.
The U.S. Department of Justice and the Wisconsin Department of Justice have been urged to investigate the matter by Free Speech for People on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin. The text messages, received by thousands of young voters, emphasize potential legal consequences for voting in a state where one is ineligible.
