Madison (WI) to require IDs for bus riders with passes

University of Wisconsin students and employees have unlimited ride passes. There are concerns the bus passes are being used fraudulently. So, beginning Monday, an employment or school photo ID will be required.

UW-Madison employee and student bus passes are non-transferable. So, if the users don't have their IDs, the passes will be confiscated and a 1-day pass will be offered.

Shouldn’t there be an exception for anybody using this bus to go vote?

No problem. You see, they aren’t capable of obtaining photo ID. It’s too difficult. It should reduce ridership.

“Imagine if you could use that for voting!”

BTW, reported on Fox several days ago, all the states Romney won had voter id.

I believe as a form of protest in states insisting on no voter id during the election, people should present a magazine subscription or library card when applying for any government service or paying any tax. If it’s good enough the election, it should be good enough for any other id requirement.

Can’t do it. It discriminates against minorities and other poor people.

What do you expect from Madistan. It is okay if the students have no iD and they can vote, but if the students privileges are being infringed upon, the students are up in arms. Madistan has a huge homeless problem. The homeless are required to be out of the shelters in the AM, the homeless cannot go to the state capitol. the problem is the homeless issue and the students do not want the unwashed masses nearby them. he students whom graduate from madistan get the salary of 54K.
