Apparently Wisconsin is the most important swing state this election cycle. So, any reasons why people would not vote in Wisconsin? Does Wisconsin do anything to discourage voting or abuse the privacy of voters?
(update) Yikes.. looks like the voter reg site for Wisconsin and https://myvote.wi.gov/en-us/ are both Cloudflared, and the voter info site assumes I’m non-human and ejaculates a broken page while the steps for voting page simply drops my packets. Voting in WI is apparently exclusive and privacy deprecating.
What a shit show. That would be a show-stopper for me if I resided in Wisconsin.
(update 2) this page is openly accessible:

The one upside is that you can register as late as the day of voting. That’s more relaxed than I’ve seen anywhere. But that page does not state what they do with your address. Most states seem to publish it. Alaska is at least smart enough to let voters supply a PO Box address for publication. Not sure if Alaska is the only state with that degree of wisdom and privacy respect. In any case, with Wisconsin Cloudflare would be unavoidably in the loop for your residential address.
(update 3) Found an openly accessible voter reg form here:
https://www.manitowoc.org/DocumentCenter/View/12858/EL-131-Voter-Registration-Application?bidId=
The form has a mailing address, which I think is quite standard (e.g. in case you need an absentee ballot sent to a different address). The form makes no mention of which address is published.
Felons serving a sentence are blocked from voting. So funnily enough, if Trump were to try to “move” to Wisconsin to vote for himself, it would be voter fraud because I guess he would likely be serving a probation sentence for his felonies.
