The emphasis is mine. This is an important step in cleaning up Wisconsin elections and bears watching as the bill wends it way through the Senate and to see if the Democrat Governor vetos the final bill. All attempts to tighten voting restrictions so that people vote only once per election in Wisconsin have failed in recent years. It is outrageous that this problem hasn't been cleaned up years ago and shamful that only 4 Democrats voted for this.

I've lived in Wisconsin for four years now, having moved here from Liberal Lala Land California (which we hated). One reason we moved here was the low crime rate, and because it is rated as one of the best places to live in the country. Imagine our surprise when we got here to learn that Liberal Madison and UW group dictate to the rest of the state what kind of society they are going to live in. Even after the recent elections when Republicans took control of both the Assembly and Senate, we were saddled with a corrupt ex-AG Liberal as Gov, and a ultra-liberal new AG, and a Lt. Gov who is to the left of Barbara Streisand. They GOT in office precisely due to the fraudulent voting going on in the OTHER liberal enclave - Milwaukee. Doyle campaign folks were going around offering wine and cigarettes and meals to homeless folks and taking them to the polls to vote. Fact. Dead people voted. Fact. Felons voted. Fact. All endorsed by Doyle campaign folks. Is it any wonder he now is reluctant to abolish the corrupt methods which put him in office?
These folks admire California. They want to turn Wisconsin into another California complete with all the agendas and hokey social policies that state has. Four years ago gunshot wounds were results of hunting accidents. Thanks to their inviting "diversity" and working hard to disarm lawful citizens while kowtowing to the criminal element we now over the last year have a drastic increase in murder, rape, violent crime, home break ins, muggings, and the beginnings of gang activity.
They should be congratulated......those are all the things we THOUGHT we had left behind in California, brought about by California's twisted liberal concept of values. They certainly seem to be accomplishing making Wisconsin a min-Cali.
Oh, and the leading Democratic Senator for Wisconsin? Under indictment for 41 felony counts of bribery and misuse of office.
And you wonder WHY Doyle and company are against making the election process one with more integrity?

I had discussed this with the state senator from our area last week and asked her if I was dreaming?

She responded something like..."no you're not dreaming, we're going to get this passed...the dream will be if Doyle doesn't veto it!"

I'm hoping for an override if that happens, but quite honestly, I don't see too many democrats voting for this, unless there are enough from smaller communities that aren't dependent on the minority vote to be re-elected.

I thought Chicago elections were bad.

Everytime since November 2000 when the Republicans have called me up for CA$H, I've told 'em, "Not until you pass a voter ID bill and get it signed into law!"

By the way don't "fergit" Doyle has to sign it :-)
