Summary

Republican mega-donors Dick and Liz Uihlein, major backers of Trump, surveyed employees at their company, Uline, on their voting preferences for the upcoming U.S. election. Uline is based in swing-state Wisconsin, critical for presidential candidates.

Marketed as “anonymous,” the survey requested employees sign in, raising privacy concerns and skepticism among staff.

Liz Uihlein dismissed concerns, calling the survey “for fun” and voluntary, though legal experts warn that such employer requests can be intimidating and may increase employee anxiety.

Federal and state laws prohibit voter intimidation, with Wisconsin specifically criminalizing vote solicitation.

    I fucking hate these mother fuckers. They fund Daren Bailey and Bruce Rauner in Illinois. They were also behind the case where a downstate judge threatened to have JB Pritzker arrested for his Covid emergency orders and mask mandates. I will not be upset when they pass away.

      Pritzker is one of the most down to earth wealthy people I’ve ever met. I didn’t realize who I was dealing with until later on.

        He’s been really good for Illinois, I didn’t want another billionaire and didn’t vote for him in the primary, but I’ll take what I can get. I was disappointed that he rolled back biometric data collection fines.

          Everyone tells me he’s been good for their quality of life and at the least not leading a class war against the poor. Pleasant surprise to hear.
