that give a political party an advantage.
Looks like she explained why she COULD NOT place an early polling site at the University.
From your link
"....Teske pointed to statutes that prohibit early voting sites that give a political party an advantage. The emails show that state Rep. Eric Genrich, a Green Bay Democrat, was pressing Teske to approve the university voting site, but she refused, saying that people could vote early at City Hall.
"UWGB is a polling location for students and residents on Election Day but I feel by asking for this to be the site for early voting is encouraging the students to vote more than benefiting the city as a whole," Teske wrote in the Aug. 26 email. "I have heard it said that students lean more toward the democrats and he (Genrich) is a democrat ... Do I have an argument about it being more of a benefit to the democrats?"...........
