Finding that Republican lawmakers had discriminated against minorities, a federal judge Friday struck down parts of Wisconsin's voter ID law, limits on early voting and prohibitions on allowing people to vote early at multiple sites.

With the presidential election less than four months away, GOP Attorney General Brad Schimel said he plans to appeal the sweeping decision by U.S. District Court Judge James Peterson.

Peterson also turned back other election laws Republicans have put in place in recent years.

How about everyone who want to vote gets a $200 voucher from the government to cover expenses related getting the voter ID? Transportation, document fees, etc. And you get to keep what you don’t use. Would THAT be good enough?

I just read that Judge Peterson was appointed by Obama.

They play this game at our expense. White people have to show voter IDs but there are no claims of discrimination against whites. Our nation is being destroyed.

“Would THAT be good enough?”

You know and I know that it is not about the cost or availability or how the ease of obtaining said documents are inversely proportional to melanin content.

Democrats want to use their ACORN generated list of fake voter registrations and be able to walk into voting booths using the names on their fake lists. They can go to several polling places a day for the 30 days before the election, which is why they want early voting for as long as possible.

How about everyone who wants to vote gets $200 not to, sort of an updated poll tax. Either that, or a civics test (in English) that must be passed.

I can dream, can't I?

SCOTUS has already AFFIRMED VOTER ID AS CONSTITUTIONAL, but "what difference at this point does it make"?

I think it’s high time the state legal systems start to simply ignore the Feds anti-We the People Rulings, and implement their own, Constitutional laws.

If a majority of states took back their rightful power in so many areas, and ALSO kept the funds from “Revenue Sharing”, we’d see some change very quickly.

Robert: You know how stupid some minorities are?

LaKeisha: That’s offensive from the get go!

Robert: Not all of them, but some of them. Some are so stupid, they haven’t got the wherewithal to figure out how to get a free photo ID. They haven’t the same cognitive skills as white people.

LaKeisha: Not only is that an offensive, bigoted statement, it’s not true!! It’s an outright lie!! You must be a hateful Republican!!

Robert: Actually, I’m a Democrat, exercising my claim that Voter ID laws discriminate against minorities and their right to participate in elections.

LaKeisha: I apologize for calling you a bigot. I didn’t know you were a Democrat. I should have said you are a compassionate champion for minorities.

Robert: Damn straight!!

Texas, North Carolina, and now Wisconsin.

They’re trying to steal this election, and they’re not even being subtle about it.

And why should the state listen to this judge?

Why on earth should we roll over every time a judge makes an unconstitutional ruling?
