A Case of Why WI Voters Should Show ID

[Antitrust32]

I think the reasons against the voter ID law is much more discriminatory than the actual voter ID law.

the issue democrats have with the law isn't that it's discriminatory...it's that they feel it would hinder their supporters. which makes you wonder who some of their supporters are. it's got nothing to do with constitutionality, obviously they don't care about that ol' piece of paper.

almost 500 views on this thread, about 1/3 that many on the u.s. can kill it's own thread. but this issue is so much more important, especially since the other doesn't exactly paint dem. politicians in a good light.

Seriously? You are actually trying to diss "who some of their supporters are"? You say the Dems don't care about Constitutionality?

Yeah: Dems supporters tend to be the poor, the elderly, and people of color. So what? It's not like the GOP ever embraces those folks. Exactly who the GOP wants to disinfranchise. And why some voter ID laws are being found unconstitutional. Because in America, you can't disinfranchise only certain segments of the population unfairly.

And yeah, that is exactly discriminatory.

Why wouldn't the democrats spend their time, money and efforts in helping this so called group of disenfranchised voters obtain an ID instead of spending all their time, money, etc fighting it. Wouldn't that actually make sense? Government provides free state IDs to those who need it. Why not set up free state ID day, etc. and set up places all across the state to obtain an ID for any who need them

1) Because we have a Constitution giving all citizens the same freedoms, and anti-constitutional things must be fought. And they are being fought. And they are being overturned as unconstitutional.

2) Yes, the Dems are trying to help people get voter ID's from what I can see.

The law has today been overturned as unconstitutional according to the Wisconsin State Constitution. Not needed.

We have a constitutional right to own a gun yet you can't get one without an ID. Isn't that same segment disenfranchised from owning a gun?

I don't know. Why don't you ask the judges that just overturned the voting ID law as unconstitutional according to the Wisconsin State constitution.
