Wisconsin voter ID to face the law

Wisconsin Republican/Teabagger efforts to block Democratic voters from the polls will be facing a new and hopefully formidable obstacle today.
The law requiring Wisconsin's citizens to show photo ID in order to vote is facing a possible lawsuit, as opponents of the law say it violates the state's Constitution.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the League of Women Votes of Wisconsin is preparing the lawsuit that alleges the law violates 'right to vote' provisions of the state constitution not present in the U.S. Constitution.

"It is absolutely clear that the Legislature paid no attention to the (right to vote) provisions of the Wisconsin Constitution when it passed voter ID," said their attorney Lester Pines. "I'm not aware of any point in which they came up."

However, Republican lawmakers, including Gov. Scott Walker, disagree that they violated any state or federal Constitution with the law, which was passed in May. Instead, the GOP believes that new law will prevent voter fraud. Wisconsin became the 11th state to approve of requiring some form of photo ID to vote.
Any time you see Republican/Teabaggers talking about stopping fraud you can make book on their running their own fraud as they speak.

'Read my lips' was once used by a Repub so now I do. If they are moving they are lying.
