This was an Accountability (Elections) Board decision. I believe they were all appointed by the Governor, “Bingo” Doyle (D). I call them the NON-Accountability Board. The legislature passed photo voter ID 3 times, as I remember, and teh Governor vetoed it each time. I think that photo Id was also passed by the people in a referendum too, if I remember correctly — much like concealed carry.
Wisconsin does not have a governor. We have a godfather!
