Stephen Colbert Takes On The Koch Brothers’ Alleged Voter Suppression In Wisconsin

Here’s a hypothetical; Lets say you write for a comedy show that tackles current events and you find a story that seems so odd and disturbing that you really don’t have to write any jokes. Your host can just describe it and it will be funny. Are you a) happy because it makes your job easy, or b) unhappy because seriously this is a pretty f-ed up story!
That’s the question I was asking myself as I watched Stephen Colbert take on the alleged voter suppression being undertaken by a few Wisconsin Conservative groups connected to the Koch Brothers. The groups, like Americans for Prosperity, sent absentee ballot applications related to the upcoming Wisconsin recall vote to voters in Democratic districts. The odd thing is the applications give an election date two whole days after the actual one. Just a simple mistake.
