No Photo ID Required to Vote in GOP's Iowa Caucus
http://www.bradblog.com/?p=9016
For all of their years of claims that massive voter fraud is going on at the polling place, such that Photo ID restrictions are required to ensure the integrity of the vote, you'd think that when Republicans have a chance to run their own elections, they'd be sure to want it to be as "fraud" free as possible.
Nonetheless, despite onerous polling place Photo ID requirements now passed into law in about a dozen states where the GOP controls both the legislative and executive branches, voters will be able to cast their ballot in next Tuesday's "First-in-the-Nation" Republican Iowa Caucuses without bothering to show a Photo ID --- even though the Republican Party itself sets their own rules for voting there.
Unlike most primary elections where an official state election board or agency sets the rules and runs the registration and balloting processes, the Iowa Republican Party runs its own state caucuses, determines the rules, tabulates all the votes and announces the results to the public and media themselves. They have complete control over the entire process, and yet they don't bother to ask their own voters to show a state-issued Photo ID before casting their ballot.

Of course, this is the inverse:

Psst, stupid burning person.
Just a hint.
It isn't a law in iowa.

Aren't the Iowa Caucuses mainly a tourist trap and media side show? If I am not mistaken, one does not even need to be a citizen of the state to vote/participate in the caucus.
Nadin could probably set this poor fellow straight.

Just so I understand this. Governor Walker took a 3.5 billion dollar deficit that was one of the highest per capita in the nation and turned it into a slight surplus. The reforms kept class sizes the same or smaller. Kept all the teachers employed. Kept property taxes at the same level or lowered them. The benefits for the public employee unions are still 50% higher than for the private sector and the PEUs still have all the collective bargaining that federal employees have.
Those results are what the DUchebags are against?

Yeah, at least in Iowa the voters have to be breathing.
