Another Brilliant Plan Out of WI

And if you read the article I posted, the college ID's in Wisconsin do not meet the requirements of a "college ID" in the new law, and never will. So they are useless to allow a student to vote.

But there's a catch: the student IDs must include a current address, birth date, signature and expiration date -- requirements no college or university in Wisconsin currently meets.

Students also have to show "proof of current paid enrollment" - meaning they have to bring a receipt for their paid tuition with them to the polls.

I care very deeply when the RGA has a goal to altering and restricting voting rights across this country.

To say I shouldn't care about what happens in this country because I don't live next door to it is silly.

This is insidious and nasty. I didn't live through the civil rights struggle, but I sure lived through women trying to get equal rights, and blacks still trying, and gays trying - and supporting the Republican goal to disenfranchise whole blocks of voters before the 2012 election, so they have a better chance of winning against permanent changing US demographics, is abhorrent and wrong. Voting tests are wrong. Poll taxes are wrong. Making it harder for US citizens to vote is wrong.
