Can someone explain this to me? Where were the WI national guard?! [View all]

I thought the National Guard were to fill in for the poll workers who couldnt be there.

So - wtf - Milw. had only 5 polling places open???

I read this paragraph twice and I still dont understand:

"Asked why the city wasn’t able to open more polling places with the help of the National Guard,(MILW CO. election commissioner) Albrecht said he didn't know until yesterday exactly how many members would be able to help at Milwaukee's polling places. He added that the city ended up getting about 170 members."

ISNT THAT KINDA bass-ackwards?

Dont you figure out how many you need and then call up that number? There are nearly 10,000 WI national guard - why were only 1/4 of those called up? Why were only 160 posted to Milwaukee, about the same no. as to Madison a smaller city which has less than half the population

RACIAL DISPARAITY - ya think????????

Is 10,000 not enough? Then get some from other states. Still not enough? then thats were the feds step in to insure voting rights and make it safe .

Im beyond pissed.
