Here is a link to an interesting article concerning voters whose ballots didn't count in the last presidential election in Wisconsin.
What the author of the article didn't address is that you also need a current driver license to return merchandise at Walmart or Hobby Lobby and probably many more such retail outlets. We feel for the lady whose provisional ballot was not counted, but she lost her license, not because of theft, but because of what we may at least partially assume was carelessness.
After reading the article in full, we're wondering how race was involved. Was the district highlighted overwhelmingly black or perhaps just disproportionately careless?
That being said, in a city the size of Milwaukee, there should have been satellite offices nearby where a non-driver state ID could be purchased cheaply and with little documentation. The disenfranchised voter may have had a difficult time replacing her license, but she should not have had a problem obtaining a valid ID.

There are several rumors floating around concerning the fatal Killen police chase from earlier this week. For right now, we're going to address three of them.
The driver was at the wheel of a stolen 2017 Lincoln? This is false. According to Larissa Bowlin's FB page, she's had the luxury SUV for quite some time, and it is a 2007, not the most current model as originally reported.
Killen police gave chase when the driver refused to stop? This could be considered partially true. Bowlin stopped, but then refused to exit her vehicle and "bumped" the officer who was speaking to her as she sped off. Miss Bowlin may be severely injured, but she may also be lucky she wasn't shot six times like our girl Poodles.
The driver had just been released from jail on drug charges? True. Bowlin had been arrested in late September and, according to her FB page, had lost her job over her stay in the detention center.
Obviously, there will be more on this later. For right now, we're simply glad no police or innocent civilians were hurt in this escapade.

You can cut the preliminaries by going directly to the 15:30 mark. Stephen Fry! Enjoy!
Since you brought up 'Poodles'...what's the latest on her saga?
ReplyDeleteThe latest we've heard is 1) Currently under indictment in Lauderdale on a 2016 charge; 2) Awaiting indictment on UNA stop - attempted murder; and 3) arrested last month on a misdemeanor in Muscle Shoals. Also, we have heard she was suing over her infamous traffic stop, but have no other details.
