Wisconsin ID Ruling Withstands Appellate Rehearing Bid
I have no words for this.

‘Voter Confusion’
“Allowing this law to take effect so close to the midterm election is a recipe for chaos, voter confusion and disenfranchisement,†Dale Ho, an ACLU attorney who argued the case before the appeals court this month, said in an e-mailed statement. “The court could have avoided this pandemonium and given Wisconsin voters a chance to cast their ballots free of obstruction. It failed to do so and we are evaluating our next step.â€
For those that don't know, this law was passed and signed into law in 2011. Leftists have been dragging their feet and fighting it tooth and nail but the stalling tactics have been exhausted and it's finally going to be applied to an actual election.
Now the DUmmies weigh in:

Anybody that was without an ID has had three years to get their shit together.
