« on: December 01, 2011, 11:01:01 AM »
It's a short thread, but, revealing.

Wisconsin voter id and it's effect on me
 I'm currently living in Vancouver and went home for my father's funeral. When I had some extra time, I went to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get my free voter ID. I take my civic duties seriously and have never missed voting in a presidential election. I figured that I would get my voter ID now in case I don't make it back to Wisconsin before the election.

When I was told by the lady at the counter that she couldn't help me if I didn't have a Wisconsin address, I politely said that the US Constitution grants me the right to vote, not the state. I asked her what I should do since she couldn't help me. She basically said I should talk to my municipality because they might have different rules which would help me. I never made it there, but imagine they won't be able to help me without a voter ID. I'm going to go to the consulate here in Vancouver, but thought I would check here to see if anyone has any other suggestions.

Thanks!!

2. Sounds like the law is working exactly as it is intended to.
 Disenfranchise as many as possible, preferably Democrats.

Big win for the GOP, the party of assholes. 
Yes, it did.
Just not for the reasons you think. :rotf:

I know I'm a dumb foreigner and have yet to reach the dizzy heights of the DUmp's Enlightenment - but I have read the U.S. Constitution a few times (it's a rather charming document afterall), and nowhere does it give you the right to vote.

People living outside the US can't vote in state elections, but can for all federal elections. Since you're not a resident of Wisconsin, you're not eligible to vote in that state. You can, however vote in Presidential elections. It's fairly easy to do. Go to:

http://www.fvap.gov /

The Federal Voting Assistance Program will help you register and get your absentee ballot. You'll apply based on the state you last lived in. The process is very simple, and you can do it online at the site above.

The Wisconsin official obviously did not understand how this works, but can't give you a Wisconsin Voter ID, because you are not a resident of Wisconsin.

Wrong. The states determine the eligibility requirements of who can register to vote or not. Stupid DUmmy.

There is no constitutional right to vote.  If the State of Marxilvania sets up the state law that Electoral College votes will be decided by town mayors, than so be it.  You would not have a right to vote for President. 

Voting rights means that if you are a one legged left handed dog walker, you could not be told you could not vote if 2 legged dog walkers are allowed.  No state has to give a voter ID card to a non-resident, why would they.

You see, I don't care you how feel.  I really don't.  More importantly, neither does anyone else.  Only about 200 people on a planet of 7 billion actually care about your feelings, and that's if you're lucky.  The sooner you grasp this lesson, the better off you will be.  And since almost no one gives a damn what you do, say, think, or feel, appealing to your feelings when you encounter differences of opinion is not only illogical, but useless.

You know, now I'm wondering about something.

I have been a legal resident of, a voting resident in, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

Not at the same time, of course.

That was a while back, but now I'm wondering if, using this primitive's logic, perhaps it might not be a bad idea for me to register in those two places again, so as to bolster the (R) vote in those states.

The OP does a far better job of illustrating why there should be voter ID laws in every state than any I have ever read.
