Many young voters in Wisconsin have reported receiving intimidating texts suggesting they could face fines or jail time for voting while studying out of state.
The League of Women Voters expressed concern that these deceptive messages threaten to deter eligible young voters from participating in elections.
With Wisconsin being a swing state, efforts to suppress young voter turnout could significantly impact close electoral races, as small margins have decided past elections.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice is currently reviewing a request for investigation into the misleading texts sent to thousands of voters.
