Wisconsin allows people to register at the polls on election day with only a utility bill as proof of identity. No proof of citizenship. No proof of age. No proof of residency. Just a piece of mail with your name on it. It is simply outrageous.

H*ll; the state of Maine can top that. You can register to vote on election day with just YOUR GOOD WORD that you are a resident. This was designed to "get out the homeless vote"...after all, your local park bench or dumpster doesn't have a physical address. This came to light during a 'gay rights' referendum years ago...thousands of homosexuals poured over the border from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, et al to vote "YES!" for gay rights in Maine. (Never mind that those of us who live there were stuck with the consequences.) I had this insane policy confirmed for me by the local paper.

That truly is egregious. I've been complaining about Wisconsin for the past 15 years to deaf ears. Our city clerk even says that it is against the law to ask if they are citizens. This is just crazy!
