Piznat, There is no voter ID required in Wisconsin at the polls. Gov Doyle has vetoed it at least two times. Thus you can show up, if someone at ACORN registered you as Tony Romo, and say you are Tony Romo at the address on the registration card and vote. Those in the inner cities around Wisconsin and the US will be doing exactly that many times during this faulty election. Thank you gov Doyle. Thank you Democrats for supporting ACORN and ruining our election process.

Many people fail to have knowledge that the state of Wisconsin, along with some other states, failed to follow federal law that required the cross-check of voter registration rolls and other state identification rolls some time ago. This would not be an issue today if the state had done what the were mandated to do in a timely manner. But our state administration decided to not follow the law. That should be what is in front of the citizens now. The Attorney General is the correct person to bring the law issue, and to the courts since the executive branch administration (the Governor) doesn't want to follow the law.

Nice to see that goverment officals can decide on their own when to follow federal laws and when not too.

Piz--The law you are referring to is a bit more involved than just having i.d. It basically requires election officials to check voter registration info against government data base info, AND, if there is ANY discrepancy (even if it is an apparent typo), strike that voter from the list (the voter COULD cast a provisional ballot, but most just say 'to hell with it' and don't vote. Some local election officials have been accused of not letting people cast provisional ballots either.) In a test to see if the 'checking' system that J.B. supported actually worked, over 1/4 of the election officials themselves were struck from the list due to those kinds of typos. For example, if some overworked employee at D.O.T. spells your name AndersOn, yet it really is spelled En, your name would be flagged, and you wouldn't be able to cast a regular ballot. Hope this helps.

Piznat: I have NEVER had to show ID to vote. Never. Just give my name and address and that is it. Why do you think it is already a law? Friends of mine came up here from another state and she actually was allowed to register her husband without any verification of address. He did not even have to show up. If it is already a law, then the pollsters are not doing their job.

I am glad to see that Judge Maryann Sumi stepped on Van Hollen's right-wing tips and ruled against him. Enough of his political posturing and wasting taxpayers money on his nut-job theories. I believe he is an embarrassment to his own party, and should be shown the door early.

Checking to see who you say you are is a power grab? Everyone is required by state law to have identification. What's the problem?

hmmm next thing you know they will be telling you that you can't register at the polls..

If its already a federal law, why is it breathtaking assertion of power? I believe we had a civil war over who has the final say.
