Several comments:

This appears to be due to cases where cards from those who presented identification and registered on election day could not be processed

While those who register on election day have to present valid identification, it is impossible to check on the spot if the address provided is valid.

I'm pretty certain it's not true that they have to present identification. Haven't I read that they can simply have "someone" attest for them? I'm pretty sure I read of instances where the van driver was attesting for each of his passengers.

Sheesh. Was there some kind of coordination between Milwaukee and WA state Rat election officials?! The similarities are eerie.

It looks to me like the GOP could FORCE the gov to sign voter I.D. requirments while the spotlight is on this. While they're at it, same day registrants should be required to bring a COPY of their photo I.D. with them if they want to register at the polls. The copy then must be stapled to their registration form so there can be no later claims that the info was "illegible" (fake).

Ring-a-ding-ding. That person "affirming" the "residency" of those without ID is supposed to be a resident of the appropriate ward. #41 has the story you are looking for (pinging the man on top of that one).
