Among first 30 to vote in my WI ward...no ID problems apparent

for anyone in line ahead of me.

Several young couples were getting same day registered and also didn't seem to have any problem with proof of residence.

I guess the 300K of suppressed voters will be turned away in other places at other times.

Of course, a lot of "suppressed voters" won't be showing up. They know they don't have the needed IDs, so they stay home. It makes it very hard to know just how many people that might be.
