1
00:00:00,634 --> 00:00:00,934
The executive order

2
00:00:01,001 --> 00:00:02,069
President Trump signed

3
00:00:02,135 --> 00:00:02,736
this week

4
00:00:02,803 --> 00:00:03,537
would create

5
00:00:03,604 --> 00:00:05,706
a national list of U.S. citizens

6
00:00:05,772 --> 00:00:07,207
eligible to vote

7
00:00:07,274 --> 00:00:09,243
and restrict mail-in ballots.

8
00:00:09,309 --> 00:00:10,244
It's your belief that

9
00:00:10,310 --> 00:00:11,378
this would not be

10
00:00:11,445 --> 00:00:11,945
in effect for

11
00:00:12,012 --> 00:00:13,180
the November elections

12
00:00:13,247 --> 00:00:14,748
or, in effect ever?

13
00:00:14,815 --> 00:00:15,849
My suspicion is

14
00:00:15,916 --> 00:00:17,684
never in effect ever.

15
00:00:17,751 --> 00:00:18,318
It's sort of a

16
00:00:18,385 --> 00:00:20,420
backdoor way to create

17
00:00:20,487 --> 00:00:22,155
time limits and

18
00:00:22,923 --> 00:00:25,125
new administrative hurdles

19
00:00:25,192 --> 00:00:27,427
for voters to go through

20
00:00:27,694 --> 00:00:28,996
under the auspices

21
00:00:29,062 --> 00:00:30,564
of addressing

22
00:00:30,631 --> 00:00:31,331
essentially what are

23
00:00:31,398 --> 00:00:32,633
conspiracy theories

24
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:34,234
about absentee balloting.

25
00:00:34,301 --> 00:00:35,068
So

26
00:00:35,135 --> 00:00:35,836
if it were

27
00:00:35,903 --> 00:00:37,337
to go into effect

28
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:37,938
what would

29
00:00:38,005 --> 00:00:39,706
the ramifications be

30
00:00:39,773 --> 00:00:41,008
in Wisconsin?

31
00:00:41,074 --> 00:00:42,075
So in Wisconsin

32
00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:43,143
by way of example

33
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:43,977
you can request

34
00:00:44,044 --> 00:00:45,512
an absentee ballot

35
00:00:45,579 --> 00:00:46,613
five days

36
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,649
before an election

37
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:49,750
and you are eligible

38
00:00:49,816 --> 00:00:50,450
to vote

39
00:00:50,517 --> 00:00:51,385
if you've been a resident

40
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:52,119
of Wisconsin

41
00:00:52,186 --> 00:00:53,854
for 28 days.

42
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:55,489
So a new resident

43
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:57,024
of Wisconsin

44
00:00:57,090 --> 00:00:57,824
could come

45
00:00:57,891 --> 00:00:58,926
and ask for a ballot

46
00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:00,894
and have the right to vote.

47
00:01:00,961 --> 00:01:02,496
Under the executive order

48
00:01:02,563 --> 00:01:02,963
however

49
00:01:03,030 --> 00:01:03,797
that name and

50
00:01:03,864 --> 00:01:04,865
that address had to

51
00:01:04,932 --> 00:01:05,766
have been submitted

52
00:01:05,832 --> 00:01:07,501
to the U.S. government

53
00:01:07,568 --> 00:01:09,236
prior to 60 days

54
00:01:09,636 --> 00:01:11,004
before the election.

55
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:12,706
So you create conflicts

56
00:01:12,773 --> 00:01:14,508
between the statutory rights

57
00:01:14,575 --> 00:01:15,809
under state law

58
00:01:15,876 --> 00:01:18,445
with this mailing deadline

59
00:01:18,879 --> 00:01:19,780
and now

60
00:01:19,847 --> 00:01:20,480
the government's

61
00:01:20,547 --> 00:01:22,683
going to control whether

62
00:01:22,749 --> 00:01:23,684
they will even

63
00:01:23,750 --> 00:01:25,686
mail your ballot and

64
00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:27,654
how do you undo that?
