Wisconsin Voter Suppression - It's a Republican Thang!


Has Wisconsin worked hard to suppress the Democratic vote in that state? You bet it has. Their Voter ID law, which will be applied in Tuesday's primary elections was a carefully designed Koch Bros./ALEC thing. Designed to limit many groups' voting rights, including University and college students, along with low-income Wisconsinites, it's a Republican law.

Democrats fought long and hard against it. They failed to prevent it from being implemented.

Its effect on the Democratic Primaries on Tuesday will be due to Republicans, not Democrats, especially not our two Democratic presidential candidates. Neither lives in Wisconsin and had nothing to do with that state's Voter ID law.

Any attempt to blame either candidate for voter suppression is specious. It's the Republicans' fault, completely.

It was signed into law in May of 2011, you dunce.  I know that democrats are a bunch of stupid layabouts, but does MineralMan expect us to believe that they are so stupid and helpless that they can't make it down to the DMV with a few simple documents to pick up a free ID even if they have had five years to work up the gumption?

I'm a Wisconsin Republican and I'll happily take credit for this law.

This primary will prove nothing except that the choice between a criminal and a commie is leaving dim voters very unenthused. Dim turnout has been down in almost every race so far.

You need an ID to purchase a car or a house, to obtain a loan, get a passport, withdraw or deposit money at the bank and countless other things in day to day life. Voting should certainly require an ID. Then again, if conservatives  were forced to rely on the deceased, illegal aliens and people voting more than once I guess I would be all bent out of shape too.

How to Get a Free State ID Card for Voting

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation provides free state ID cards for voting.

    Learn about getting a free Wisconsin ID card on the Wisconsin Department of Transportation website: http://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/id-card.aspx
    Learn about getting a free Wisconsin ID card even if you do not have a birth certificate: http://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/dmv/license-drvs/how-to-apply/petition-process.aspx

It is free, you DUmmies should be all over that.

These are acceptable for voting purposes, and can be unexpired or expired after the date of the most recent general election (currently, the November 4, 2014 election):


    A Wisconsin DOT-issued driver license, even if driving privileges are revoked or suspended
    A Wisconsin DOT-issued identification card
    A Wisconsin DOT-issued identification card or driver license without a photo issued under the religious exemption
    Military ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service
    A U.S. passport
    An identification card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin (May be used even if expired before the most recent general election.)





These photo IDs are also acceptable for voting purposes, but must be unexpired:
    NEW: A veteran’s photo identification card issued by the Veterans Health Administration of the federal Department of Veterans Affairs
    A certificate of naturalization that was issued not earlier than two years before the date of an election at which it is presented
    A driving receipt issued by Wisconsin DOT (valid for 45 days)
    An identification card receipt issued by Wisconsin DOT (valid for 45 days)
    A photo identification card issued by a Wisconsin accredited university, college or technical college that contains date of issuance, signature of student, and an  expiration date no later than two years after date of issuance.  Also, the university, college or technical college ID must be accompanied by a separate document that proves enrollment.
    A citation or notice of intent to revoke or suspend a Wisconsin DOT-issued driver license that is dated within 60 days of the date of the election.

If still unable to vote you have more problems in your life you need to worry about, a vote for Bernie will not solve them.

It's a D Race-Card narrative, therefore the blacks and Hispanics who have no trouble getting drivers licenses and applying for and getting jobs or social program assistance magically become too stupid and immobile to get free voter IDs!

including University and college students, along with low-income Wisconsinites

Those college students are basically transients.  They can have two addresses, and this causes big problems.  You wouldn't want those kids who are chalking "Trump2016" all over the place to vote twice, would you, Rockman?

That is why I don't like the idea of voter registration drives on college campuses. If you want to register, do it when you get or renew your license where you live, not the college you attend. It's too easy to commit voter fraud for college kids.

Of course, they are.

Problems, idiots?  Why?

Not only easy, it's 100% certain to happen.
