Common sense tells me that there's a reason for that.
Gee, first North Carolina, now Wisconsin. Nice having all these Democrat liberal judges

I am not certain that is true. If they rout it properly it will get to the supremes before the election, because it is such an emergency, to correct the injustice don’t you see. The lower court ruling will be upheld by a tie vote in the Supreme Court, if we are lucky. Thus all election ID laws will be struck down. Not for nothing did Scalia pass away.
With all due respect, you sound EXACTLY like the reporterette that didn’t know anyone that voted for Nixon, so how did he win?
So, what is more rare, people who cast illegal votes or space aliens?
I suggest again that each voter should leave a thumbprint next to his/her signature to comfort those who believe that there is a massive number of voters casting multiple illegal ballots.
