Photo ID before you vote More from Wisconsin.... >>The Assembly last month passed a voter ID bill, which would require the state to issue free photo ID cards to voters who don't already have them. The bill, similar to proposals introduced in previous sessions of the Legislature, is needed to ensure the integrity of elections and to help prevent voter fraud, Republicans say.<< >>this amounts to wasting taxpayer dollars to make it harder for people to vote," said Doyle spokesman Dan Leistikow when asked if the governor would veto the measure<< >>The state's low income, minority, elderly, handicapped, homeless and student populations would be most adversely affected by the voter ID bill, she said. People in those groups face the most difficulty in finding transportation and still would have to pay for a birth certificate or possibly take time off work, Moore said. South Carolina is the only state in the country that now requires photo IDs for voting; 29 states forbid poll workers from asking for any form of photo identification, Moore said.<< Geez, I wonder why there are election problems... only one state requires photo ID....29 states forbid it????? journaltimes.com
