Clearly you do not have an understanding of our Judicial system. Prosecution is done by the 'state', which can also mean the local jurisdiction. Milwaukee in this case. The county is run and owned by the dems, per the article I linked. A civil suit could be brought, but prosecution is by the government.
It is these kinds of mistakes, not understanding that cause folks to give any credence to your posts.
Otherwise, you are just spouting the party line, with no genuine understanding of the issues. That is what is sad for our Democratic Republic. Something else to bone up on; the difference between Democracy and a Democratic Republic.

Voter ID laws disenfranchise millions of voters to prevent a problem that does not exist. Isn't that like burning down the house to kill the ants? Sad day for democracy.
I am curious....how does having a voter ID eliminate voter fraud?
I guess that it might catch felons from sneaking in lines maybe, or people who want to vote multiple times, or perhaps even catch those voting outside of their own districts...but I never contended that it would eliminate fraud...
I was just curious as to why requiring ID was somehow wrong? You need ID to do all sorts of things in our police state, what is the big deal if it is required to vote?

There is no evidence of voter fraud, period! If there was why didn't the republicans insist on an Independent Special Prosecutor having no partisan affiliation to address voter fraud?

Because it is an expensive, tax paid solution to a problem that does not exist. It also disenfranchises many voters which is unconstitutional.

But, you can't answer the question on how it will disenfranchise voters. So, you are claiming their argument has no validity, but, you make a claim that you believe has no validity, so I guess both of you have similar arguments.
Monroe faces various counts of election fraud, including registering in more than one place, providing false information to an election official, voting more than once and voting as a disqualified person, for a total 13 felony charges. Each charge carries a maximum penalty of up to 18 months in prison, two years of extended supervision and a $10,000 fine.
And yet between October 2002 and September 2005, just 38 cases were brought nationally, and of those, 14 ended in dismissals or acquittals, 11 in guilty pleas, and 13 in convictions.
Of course, there is NO evidence....zero, nota...nope, cannot happen...

I think the only recourse you have is to stop voting until this manifest injustice is corrected. I think that would serve everyone best.
