Let's see...
When I go to vote, I must show my driver license, then I must sign in beside my name on the voter list.
So, not only do I have to verify my identity, I must be able to read and write my name!
I wonder why Montana has never been sued about this...
IMO, it is reasonable and proper!
Way to go, Wisconsin!
Why do you think minorities would be less likely than anyone else to have an ID? That's the bigotry of low expectations coming through in your post.
No doubt he/she has already designated minorities as inferior. That's a slam against all minority races. Many minority races in this country are very intelligent. The Asian people comes to mind.
Actually, this was appealed in April by a federal judge so it is still going through the federal appeals court in Chicago. So regardless of the state supreme court ruling, this is still on hold so for the primaries this month & maybe for the regular election in November one will still not have to show an id. As for voter fraud, it has been proven ad nauseum that the "out of control" numbers that certain people like to tout as proof of voter fraud is just that....fraudulent. Please don't let facts get in the way though. Also, does anyone know what the 24th amendment of the CONSTITUTION says? Right, it's unconstitutional to institute a poll tax to vote. Requiring a voter id that one has to pay for is a poll tax. Requiring someone to pay for a copy of their birth certificate in order to get a voter id is a poll tax. Why do some religiously pull out the constitution when it comes to bearing arms yet conveniently forget the constitution when it comes to the right of voting?
Lving costs money. You can't have everything paid for by someone else. If you think it's important enough you'll find a way like the rest of function society.
If you want to fit in act accordingly instead of acting inferior.
Lol... The other day, I needed to present an ID just to buy some Sudafed for my sinuses at the local Walgreens. People complain about showing a simple ID card to go and vote? Wtf is wrong with people?

You are reaching here. One also needs to be an American citizen to be able to vote yes? One needs to show an ID to register to vote yes? You don't seemed to concerned with the possibility of voter fraud
More good news for Wisconsin today. Common sense prevails. The Badger State is on quite a roll!
Agreed, a free photo ID to help protect our vote, so no one else can pretend to be us and vote in our place, or to either create a fake persona or vote illegally to essentially invalidate my vote and cheat in an election.
Wisconsin has been run into the ground since Walker took over. How's Wisconsin's job growth doing?
Funny thing is... disenfranchising minorities in Milwaukee actually has debilitating effects for the GOP (they turn out stronger).

Consider, too, that Wisconsin has consistently trailed the national average for job creation for a decade across both Republican and Democratic administrations. Sluggish growth here is, sadly, nothing new.
I was just in Illinois last week and I can say that Wisconsin looks like a paradise compared to the issues they are going through there. People are irate enough that they might even do something crazy like electing a Republican as governor.
