ALT Shortly after polls closed a dozen people from a coalition of labor unions and community activists gathered outside of Green Bay’s city hall calling for all votes — including late-night absentee ballots — to be tallied before any candidates declare victory. “We don’t play, and we’re not that light about the election night,” said Robin Scott, executive director of We All Rise: African American Resource Center. “We came out in numbers today. And our numbers are strong, and our voices will be heard.” Jon Shelton, professor of democracy and justice studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and vice president of higher education for the American Federation of Teachers-Wisconsin, called the gathering a response to “several years of attempting to delegitimize free and fair elections.” “This is about preemptively making sure that folks who might be engaging in those kinds of things know that there’s an organized constituency of folks who are going to stand up to it.”
