WI: Republicans demand to see 37,000 ID's of new voters (cheating!)

[xyboymil]

Citing a new list of more than 37,000 questionable addresses, the state Republican Party demanded Saturday that Milwaukee city officials require identification from all of those voters Tuesday.

If the city doesn't, the party says it is prepared to have volunteers challenge each individual - including thousands who might be missing an apartment number on their registration - at the polls.

City Attorney Grant Langley labeled the GOP request "outrageous."

"We have already uncovered hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of addresses on their (original list) that do exist," said Langley, who holds a non-partisan office. "Why should I take their word for the fact this new list is good? I'm out of the politics on this, but this is purely political."

This is complete and utter Bullshit from the Repuke Party. Wisconsin does NOT require ID's be shown when you vote. :mad:

Yet another pathetic attempt to supress the vote in the all important battleground state of WI!

1. Utterly disgusting

I'm glad they showed their hand. Now the city attorney can be prepared.

Lord, I hate these people.

2. Here in CO, people are being turned away if . . .

. . . the address on their state driver's license doesn't match the address on voter rolls. However, they don't issue new licenses when you move and you only get one ever 10 years or so. You can get a sticker put on the back with a new address, but most people don't.

This really disenfranchises lower income folks who move a lot.
