Gov. Walker Signs Voter ID Bill, Wisconsin Union Thugs and Illegal Aliens Hardest Hit

You're going to have to prove who you are to vote in Wisconsin:
After an eight-year quest by GOP officials, Gov. Scott Walker will sign a bill Wednesday requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls.

But the measure costing more than $7 million in new spending and lost revenue could still face a legal challenge as opponents mulled over the possibility of suing to block it from taking effect.

The legislation will require poll workers to start asking voters for photo IDs for the July 12 state Senate recalls elections, but the voters will not be required to present them until next year's presidential primary

"Requiring photo identification to vote will go a long way to eliminate the threat of voter fraud," Walker said last week. "If you need an ID to buy cold medicine, it's reasonable to require it to vote."

The signing will make Wisconsin the 11th state to have approved requiring some form of photo ID at the polls. Democrats have decried the measure, saying it would do little to prevent voter fraud while disenfranchising thousands of minority, elderly and rural voters.
That's such utter and complete B.S. Everyone in this country legitimately has identification. It's required for all sorts of daily activities, whether it be driving, cashing a check or in some cases using a credit card, flying...lots of things. The only people who will be disenfranchised are those who were trying to commit fraud.

I totally agree....what nonsense! I can't cash on a check on my own bank account without photo I.D. I can't even get a library card without it!! Why on earth should this be a problem for anyone who is legally registered to vote??
