Sigh.

Thank you for clarifying that. It appears I had used a faulty source. To be honest; I have no first hand knowledge of what is required to receive government assistance. However, you get the point. ID is required for the large majority of people and their everyday lives. Regardless, I think it is common sense that you should be required to prove your identity before voting.
I know the WI legislation is/was quite restrictive at first, and I have no problem with it being modified to less stringent conditions, as long as an ID will be required in the end.
ID requirements should be roughly similar for most common tasks. Requirements for getting a job, boarding a plane, getting a hotel, and voting, should all be the same. Whether that means the requirements are stringent or lax is up to people above my pay grade, but for normal everyday life, people should not have to wonder what they’ll need to bring.
You can’t possibly believe that. One requirement for boarding a plane is paying a few hundred dollars. Similarly for getting a hotel. And getting a job, quite aside from meeting the job requirements, often requires providing a bank account for pay to be deposited into.
Whatever for? You have a constitutional right to vote, you don’t have the right to get a job, board a plane, etc. The requirements for voting should be low enough to let all qualified citizens vote without jumping through needless hoops.
I hate to defend adaher, but I think he apwas just referring to “ID requirements.”
The voter ID law was not repealed. John Roberts and his fellow travelers delayed implementation of the law so that leftists can bus people up from the People’s Republic of Illinois to vote in Wisconsin’s election.
John Roberts and his comrades set an injunction on a law that was passed three fucking years ago not on constitutional grounds, but for dubious reasons based on absentee ballots already cast which could have simply been grandfathered in.
The law will be fully in force after the November election. There isn’t a goddamn thing anyone can do about it, because even if Burke manages to steal this election there is no way in hell the Assembly or Senate will flip and they’re not going to repeal the law.
There will be no built in fraudulent voting for the left after this.
The left doesn’t depend on fraudulent voting. The right depends on erecting nonsensical barriers to voting in order to discourage Democratic-leaning demographics.
Is this true? Anyone seen any projections?
There isn’t any fraudulent voting now. You’re upset because you have bought into a false narrative fed to you by RW media.
That you think the Dems are the ones trying to steal the election is exactly backwards.
The most conservative Chief Justice in my lifetime has comrades? I’ve had no idea that since 1957 I’ve been living in the Soviet Union. Good to know, I guess. Thanks!
Well, obviously, if he weren’t a Communist he would have overturned the ACA!
But the ID requirements are tied to those other things I mentioned. You need an ID when checking into a hotel room because you’re using a credit card. You’re not using a credit card when voting.
Nor are you using a credit card to apply for Social Security or welfare or food stamps or Medicaid.

Nose to nose rounding the final turn between the incompetent and the unknown
No need to round in 47-47 gov’s total – both candidates got exact same number of supporters, 380. #mulawpoll
Another Marquette poll.
So… let me get this straight. You disagree with Gov. Walker on how robust a living wage is?
And you’re right, and he’s wrong?
Gov. Walker is basing his notion on ideology, not facts.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is full of some very smart people who spend a lot of time and effort to study stuff. They say that, by the numbers, Walker is wrong.
