How much did Wisconsin taxpayers pay to spy on (and track the movements of) citizens who didn’t break the law?

Legislature poised to make voter registration process more secure

Brian Fraley10 years ago10 years ago31 mins

Wisconsin’s voter registration process is about to become a lot more sane, and a lot more secure.
