"A government that undermines the very foundation of its existence - the people's inherent, pre-constitutional right to vote - imperils its legitimacy as a government by the people, for the people, and especially of the people," said the eight-page opinion by Dane County Judge Richard Niess. "It sows the seeds for its own demise as a democratic institution. This is precisely what 2011 Wisconsin Act 23 does with its photo ID mandates."

Absolute garbage. There is nothing stopping anyone citizen from getting a photo ID, so requiring one does nothing to stop anyone from voting.

This is clearly about enabling voter fraud, which is a demographic that always favors the Democrats, but everyone here knew that anyway.

Here's a question for all of you legal experts out there. Is there any way the governor and legislators can bypass this ruling and proceed with requiring photo IDs to vote?

I don’t get the logic. A person has to register to vote. When they go to the polls the poll watcher is supposed to check their name against the list of registered voters. So what’s wrong with asking them to prove they are the person that registered?

I’m not familiar with Wisconsin law, but how can a “County” judge trump State law?
