Judge: Wisconsin Residents Without ID Can Vote In November
2016-07-20
[TalkingPointsMemo] A federal judge has issued an order allowing Wisconsin residents who lack photo identification to vote in November.

U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman in Milwaukee issued a preliminary injunction Tuesday that allows people who haven't been able to obtain IDs to vote if they sign an affidavit stating why they couldn't get identification.
Adelman was appointed by yes, you guessed it, Bill Clinton.
Adelman also said the affidavit option won't be in place for the Aug. 9 primary, saying elections officials don't have time to implement it by then, but will be in place for the Nov. 8 general election.

The American Civil Liberties Union and the National Law Center for Homelessness and Poverty filed a motion asking for the injunction in June.

Officials with the state Justice Department didn't immediately respond to a message.

#7  How about dipping your index finger in ink the way they did in Iraq? (Exceptions would of course be made for people who don't have an index finger.)

People who vote twice would have the index finger removed.

#6  Republicans should pass laws in all 50 states saying anyone convicted of voter fraud loses the right to vote or be eligible for elected office.

#5  I'm wondering if in November they end up with more voters than population in Wisconsin. I expect A lot of people will vote in multiple districts.

If you vote without an ID you should be forced to smile for a photo, give up a thumb print, and sign a document attesting that you understand voter fraud is a felony offense punishable by x years in prison. Then of course they need to carry out the threat for those discovered to be lying.
