The letter states that 'thousands of young voters across Wisconsin' received a malicious text warning them not to vote, suggesting they might be ineligible.
The League of Women Voters noted that the sender of the anonymous text may continue efforts to scare eligible young voters from exercising their right to vote if not investigated.
Students can register to vote at their home or school address, but the malicious text led to fears of criminal prosecution among them.
The text ominously claimed that violating voting laws could result in severe penalties, including fines up to $10,000 and imprisonment of 3.5 years.
