Bradley Foundation board member Cleta Mitchell bemoans college voting in private meeting with top GOP donors


A board member of the Milwaukee-based Bradley Foundation recently told top Republican donors that conservatives need to curtail college voting, singling out Wisconsin among four other states.

Cleta Mitchell made the comments during an April 15 presentation at a Republican National Committee donor retreat in Nashville, according to a report appearing in The Washington Post

The Post said it reviewed a copy of Mitchell's recent presentation that focused on limiting "voting on college campuses, same-day voter registration and automatic mailing of ballots to registered voters." The GOP has not formally endorsed the plan but a spokesman told the Post that the party was "thankful for leaders like Cleta Mitchell who do important work for the Republican ecosystem."

The Post reported that Mitchell focused on campus voting in Wisconsin, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Virginia.

In a separate audio posted on Twitter by liberal activist Lauren Windsor, Mitchell is heard discussing college voting.

“What are these college campus locations?” she asked, according to the audio. “What is this young people effort that they do? They basically put the polling place next to the student dorm so they just have to roll out of bed, vote, and go back to bed.”

Mitchell said 'Wisconsin is a big problem'

Mitchell said: "Wisconsin is a big problem because of the first day, because of the polling locations on college campuses. There are 501c3's (nonprofits). Their goal for the Supreme Court race was to turn out 240,000 college students in that Supreme Court race. And we don't have anything like that and we need to figure out how to do that and combat that."
