Wisconsin Republicans Try to Lure Back Dems by Moving Controversial Voter ID Bill

Wisconsin Republicans are trying to lure Senate Democrats back to the state capital by moving ahead with a controversial bill that would require voters to show photo ID before casting a ballot.

Democrats have fought the voter ID bill for years, arguing it would make it more difficult for minorities and elderly people to vote. But a state Senate committee passed the bill Tuesday over the objection of one Democratic lawmaker who tried to participate by phone. The move was a taunt aimed squarely at the Senate Democrats who fled the capital last week to prevent Republicans from voting on a budget-fix bill that would cut deep into union benefits and rights

Screw trying to lure them back, just pass the darn bill, pass every bill the Dems would hate, and please attach the elimination of Collective Bargaining to the bill.

They also passed a law that paychecks must be picked up in person. Now if they'd only cut off any state-held credit cards...
