A federal judge in Milwaukee has struck down Wisconsin's voter Identification law, saying it unfairly burdens poor and minority voters.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman issued his long-awaited decision Tuesday. It invalidates Wisconsin's law.
Wisconsin's law would have required voters to show a state-issued photo ID at the polls. Supporters said it would cut down on voter fraud and boost public confidence in the integrity of the election process.
But Adelman sided with opponents, who said it disproportionately excluded poor and minority voters because they're less likely to have photo IDs or the documents needed to get them.
Wisconsin's law was only in effect for a 2012 primary before a Dane County judge declared it unconstitutional.

How do these fake-poor people get their alcohol, cough medicine, and every other thing you have to pull an ID out for these days?
the “Poor and minorities” have no trouble getting IDs whatsoever.
The real story—No voter id means more fraud. More fraud benefits democrats.
its not hard to see why leftists—corrupt, by-any-means-necessary mentality, led to millions of murders in the 20th century.
The feds did this decades ago in CA....Prop 187...
The results of that government tyranny and decline of our country can now be seen coast to coast.
It it was any clearer, it would smash into our faces...
Exactly. Obtaining a gun should be no more and no less complicated than voting. If one requires no ID, then so should the other.
To get this asinine ruling overturned, the next stop would be the US Court of Appeals for this circuit.
The district court decision probably invalidates the ID law for this election cycle. The wheels of justice turn very slowly when liberals so desire.
It hasn’t affected voting in Indiana. Why are other states creating their own versions of the law. It has already been found constitutional in Indiana.
California provides a way to get a state ID at the DMV.
I would suspect most states have something similar.
Who should any citizen be required to have an ID, if some citizens aren’t required to have them?
This judge is another blithering idiot.
Exactly.
All RIGHT! Strike DOWN the picture ID for gun purchases, too. Same principle!
Soooo why does this judge want to enable fraud?
Democrat appointee?
Criminals wear black robes too.
Liberalism is a mental disorder...
Turn food stamp cards into photo ID. Solved.
Dictators in black.
We should also have no ID required for food stamps, welfare, SSI benefits, buying booze, using a credit card, buying cancer sticks, getting on a flight, getting into a federal building, etc. Need I continue?
“Just give it to a judge first and let them decide.”
...kind of like a Commissar.
IMHO
“Adlman and these stupid judges are retarded.”
They know exactly what they’re doing.
It’s absolutely frustrating and irritating to watch them operate in open view, with impunity, as they hide behind the false premises for their “rulings”.
IMHO
Another black-robed tyrant uses its position to urinate on the American citizen voter.
About 5 years ago when I use to live in New York city, the NY Post did a whole step by step series on how illegals get welfare and food stamps, and it was just absolutely unreal. What they do is they buy fake ID from this guy working out the back of a store, they even showed photos, I think it was like $500 for the ID. Then they show him going down to the welfare office, going through all the forms and using the fake ID with some dead persons SS# which you can get off the internet. And *poof* there he gets money and food stamps. And they can keep going back with new fake ID, so potentially you could have one illegal getting multiple payments. And what did the city do about it? Absolutely nothing.
If you don’t have any sort of law to back your decision up, then you should probably be removed from the bench.
