The Cafe Corazon restaurant group selected LWVMC as its featured Tú y Yo (You and I) community organization for the month of November.

This means that for every taco plate ordered on each of the four Tuesdays in November, LWVMC will receive a $1.00 donation.

Cafe Corazon has great food, a fun atmosphere, and friendly staff at three locations in Bay View, Riverwest, and Brown Deer. And who doesn’t like tacos?!  

This is an easy way to support our League’s activities and to get our name out more across the Milwaukee community.

Letter to Editor from Election Observer

Time spent as polling site observer was positive experience

On Election Day I volunteered for the first time as a polling site observer. I felt privileged to watch poll workers who, from 6 am until nearly 10 pm, checked in voters, answered myriad questions and solved problems with knowledge, kindness, respect and professionalism.

My takeaways: The two-hour observer training I got from the nonpartisan Wisconsin League of Women Voters was comprehensive and well-presented; I learned so much about how elections are run in our communities and, importantly, the rules, checks and balances that make them safe, secure and transparent. To anyone who’s wondered about the allegations of election fraud over the past four years (remarkably absent now), you owe it to yourself, and our country, to sign up for an eye-opening League training session. It will be time well spent.

Wisconsin: the Most Purple State

An analysis of the November election by political analyst Craig Gilbert, published in the Nov. 13 Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, confirmed Wisconsin as the most purple state in the U.S., stating, "Wisconsin is so chronically competitive that it only takes the smallest swings and tiniest margins to flip the state back and forth...Almost everything about this election buttressed Wisconsin’s claim to be the most persistently purple state in America."

Wisconsin was the only state where the margin of victory for the presidential race was less than one percent -- as it has been in five of the past seven presidential elections. In an election where voter turnout fell in most of the country, Wisconsin's 76% voter turnout beat all but Minnesota. This election proves that in Wisconsin -- more than anywhere else -- no one can say their vote doesn't count.
