Republicans to descend on Milwaukee – where they’ve been trying to dilute Black voting power

The decision to hold the RNC in the city is a slap in the face' for Black voters who have come under attack by the party's sweeping voter ID measure and move to limit early voting

Shortly after the 2022 midterm elections, Robert Spindell sent out an email to his fellow Republicans explaining why he was pleased with the results even though Tony Evers, a Democrat, had just won a second term.

Spindell, one of three Republicans on the body that oversees elections in Wisconsin, said we can be especially proud of the City of Milwaukee (80.2% Dem vote) casting 37,000 less votes than cast in the 2018 election with the major reduction happening in the overwhelming Black and Hispanic areas."
