Um...and your source for this claim is what exactly, william?
Why, the Wisconsin State Statutes on voting of course. More specifically the "Election Day Manual" in the section that describes
Residency.
Quote:1. Establishing Residency.
a. In order to claim residency, a voter must establish a physical presence with the intent to make that presence his or her residence for voting purposes.
Sounds pretty good so far, right?
Quote:b. Residency is established by electors registering on Election Day by providing proof of residence or with a corroborating witness.
What that means, Bernie; is you and Dag could come and vote right here in Wisconsin, if I wanted to vouch for you. No registration necessary. No ID necessary. No proof that you are an eligible voter whatsoever. If that sounds ridiculous, that’s because it is. But it’s the law.
Wisconsin Republicans have been trying to tighten this up for as long as I've been alive, while Wisconsin Democrats have consistently, successfully blocked all attempts to do so.
The gall of those Republicans. Last time they wanted voters to at least have to show a picture ID... but the Democrats thought that could be embarrassing to minorities who were more likely to not have a Drivers License. And that minorities might be less likely to vote if they had to show their more
embarrassing State Id (Identical to a DL in every way, except it says "not valid for driving" on it).
The truth is; Democrats know that ineligible voters like; felons on probation and parole, illegal aliens etc, and all manner of criminal elements are more likely to violate the voting laws AND are more likely to vote Democrat. So, they make it the easiest thing in the world to do because they want to continue to enjoy their support. There is no good reason not to restrict voting to eligible voters, Bernie. The Law is a joke and during tight elections it can give Democrats the edge here... and everybody here knows it. As I said; this bit of idiocy is legendary here.
