1
00:00:01,335 --> 00:00:02,970
voting.
>> All right. Ann Jacobs,

2
00:00:03,036 --> 00:00:05,939
thanks very much.
>> Thank you.

3
00:00:07,641 --> 00:00:09,776
>> President Trump's
executive order for citizen

4
00:00:09,843 --> 00:00:12,179
voting lists and preventing
the Postal Service from

5
00:00:12,246 --> 00:00:15,015
mailing any ballots to
people not on those lists,

6
00:00:15,082 --> 00:00:18,986
was among the topics on
this week's Inside

7
00:00:19,586 --> 00:00:22,990
Wisconsin Politics. The WP
and PBS Wisconsin podcast,

8
00:00:23,056 --> 00:00:25,225
where you can hear the
state's most experienced

9
00:00:25,292 --> 00:00:28,595
political reporters break
down the news. It features

10
00:00:28,662 --> 00:00:33,734
PBS Wisconsin's Zac Schultz,
WP Shawn Johnson Anya van

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,337
Wagtendonk and Rich Kremer.
Here they are on the Trump

12
00:00:37,404 --> 00:00:41,074
executive order.
>> So I think what a lot of

13
00:00:41,141 --> 00:00:43,143
people would be rightfully
wondering is, is this going

14
00:00:43,210 --> 00:00:45,979
to happen? Is this
something that is likely to

15
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:49,383
happen in Wisconsin
specifically?

16
00:00:50,017 --> 00:00:52,286
look at when these kind of
things come out of Trump

17
00:00:52,352 --> 00:00:54,988
White House specifically,
is what is the reaction for

18
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:57,891
politicians in Wisconsin?
We saw universally all the

19
00:00:57,958 --> 00:00:59,993
Democrats, including
Governor Evers, use a

20
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:03,030
profanity online to
describe his reaction to

21
00:01:03,096 --> 00:01:05,199
this. And we didn't see
anything from Republicans.

22
00:01:05,265 --> 00:01:08,202
And if this had a prayer or
a chance of actually being

23
00:01:08,268 --> 00:01:10,704
legal or valid in Wisconsin,
there would have been some

24
00:01:10,771 --> 00:01:12,639
of the usual Trump
supporting Republicans that

25
00:01:12,706 --> 00:01:14,875
would have come out and
said, yes, thank you,

26
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:17,644
President Trump. It's about
time. I didn't see any of

27
00:01:17,711 --> 00:01:19,847
that. Maybe somewhere it
was put out and I missed it.

28
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:22,716
But the overall reaction
was a lot of crickets from

29
00:01:22,783 --> 00:01:25,686
Republicans. That signals
most election observers

30
00:01:25,752 --> 00:01:28,488
not legal in Wisconsin.
Unenforceable in Wisconsin

31
00:01:28,555 --> 00:01:31,758
would remove the right to
vote for absentee ballots.

32
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:34,461
We have. You can register
on day of. There's just so

33
00:01:34,528 --> 00:01:36,830
many things that do not
apply to how Wisconsin

34
00:01:36,897 --> 00:01:38,966
elections are run. Barring
the fact that it's not even

35
00:01:39,032 --> 00:01:40,934
legal constitutionally
across the rest of the

36
00:01:41,001 --> 00:01:43,070
country, according to every
election expert that we

37
00:01:43,136 --> 00:01:45,072
ever talked to. I mean,
Shawn, you've covered this

38
00:01:45,138 --> 00:01:49,142
just as long. It's not
just as long. It's not
