Early voting is underway across Wisconsin and the Department of Justice says it’s ready to protect voters.
Attorney General Josh Kaul says they are going to be watching for voter intimidation during the next two weeks heading into election day.
Kaul said, “somebody uses force or the threat of force to prevent somebody from voting? That’s a crime. It’s also a crime to cause somebody to be in a state of duress to prevent them from voting.” He says people are welcome to come out and observe the vote, but they are not allowed to make themselves part of the process or threaten voters.
Kaul warns that election inspectors will remove anyone who disrupts or interferes with the election process and contact law enforcement.
