Madison — A trial over Wisconsin's voting laws kicked off Monday with a former aide to a Republican state senator testifying that GOP senators were "giddy" over the prospect the state's 2011 voter ID law could keep some people from voting.

Todd Allbaugh, who worked at the time for then-Sen. Dale Schultz (R-Richland Center), said some senators expressed a lack of enthusiasm to take up the voter ID legislation early that year during a private meeting of Republicans. Sen. Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) then made the case for the bill, he testified.

"She got up out of her chair and hit her fist or her finger on the table and said, 'Hey, we've got to think about what this would mean for the neighborhoods around Milwaukee and the college campuses,'" Allbaugh said.

Schultz said they ought to consider what they would be doing to people's ability to vote, according to Allbaugh. That elicited a response from Glenn Grothman, who at the time was a state senator and now is a member of Congress.

1. Voter ID exists solely for the purpose of preventing Americans who vote for Democratic

politicians from voting.

Solely.

There is no longer an excuse for any American not to know this.

If you support voter ID in any form, you do not like Democracy or America.
