Another Brilliant Plan Out of WI

Someone else could be voting under someone else's name that is a registered voter as well if they knew their name and address since we don't require proof that they are the person they say they are.

And the occurance of the above is how much? Thousands? Millions?

That's why when you move, you have to register in your new precinct, in order to vote there. Otherwise - boom, there you are again with the provision ballot that isn't counted.

Amazing how those current laws work to keep voter fraud in the single digits year after year after year in Wisconsin!

Sad that the Koch Brothers Republican Governors Association has as it's stated goal making voting laws harder, so less people can readily vote - especially those Democratic-leaning ones.

Sad American citizens sign on to that discrimination.

I really, really did not feel discriminated against the last time I voted and had to bust out the driver ID

Because you had one. I just showed my license last Tuesday to vote in the primary. But if I didn't have it with me, I would have been allowed to vote.

Wait until someone tells grandma who has lived in the same house for decades, who knows the poll workers, who has voted in that precinct her entire life that she can't vote this time because she stopped driving 2 years ago and her license is expired and no, she didn't need to go get a new non-driver photo ID so doesn't have anything.

The point is not the photo ID. The point is making it deliberately more difficult than it is now to be able to vote, by changing the voting laws to make them more restrictive, and the deliberate way it is being done is to disenfranchise the poor and non-whites, students, the elderly. It's disgusting.
