The measure was expected to further split the partisan divisions in the state after the recent bruising battle over newly elected Republican governor Scott Walker's successful campaign to weaken public sector union bargaining rights.

When one of two sides is a screaming claque of thugs, "partisan divisions" are inevitable.

Last October leading up to the November vote, my daughter who is a registered Ohio voter (and had already voted absentee), was baraged every time she went outside of her dorm at a Pennsylvania college to register and vote in Pennsylvania.

BTW, I predict a burgeoning business in fake IDs.

Just have a half-dozen in your pocket and go for it. Biometrics here we come.

Under the legislation, voters will have to present a valid driver's license, passport, naturalization papers or tribal ID to obtain a ballot. Student IDs are allowed but will need a current address, birth date, signature and expiration date.

They whine about student IDs, but pretty much all of those kids had to have driver's licenses to even get to school.

Yes, that would be the long-standing divide between the pro and anti-vote fraud factions.
