Years overdue, photo identification will be required the next time Wisconsin voters go to the polls, for the spring elections in 2016. The U.S. Supreme Court finally settling that issue was good news, but the fight over ballot security will never be over.
Congressman Mark Pocan (D-Pluto) greeted the Court’s action with a renewed call for his constitutional amendment guaranteeing a right to vote ostensibly meaningless, the proposal’s sinister nature lies in its open-ended guarantee, setting the stage to argue that there is no such thing as a reasonable condition to be imposed on exercising the franchise. His co-author Rep. Keith Ellison is on record saying he can’t imagine why there should be any standard at all for voting.
Their amendment will go nowhere in the current Congress, but it’s troubling that it has managed to garner support in what used to be one of a tiny handful of Wisconsin newspapers that took a fairly conservative editorial stance.
Munching away at the foundations of ballot integrity on another front, the American Civil Liberties Union two weeks ago was busy trying to dissipate the value of photo ID by expanding—in ways the Public Radio report never specified—the list of things that qualify as valid identification. Watch for union activists showing up at the polls with Publishers’ Clearinghouse sweepstakes mailings.
Where does this lead? Well, it’s hard to believe the Obama administration would deliberately facilitate millions of illegal border-crossings without expecting something in return. And with most U.S. media maintaining either an indifferent or a purposeful silence, we look—as we so often do—to a British newspaper, and a leftist one at that, to find out what’s happening here.
Coming soon to an election near you: non-citizen voters.
Mark Pocan (WI Congressman) undermining Wisconsin voterid law.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
I guess Marc Pocan wants space aliens to vote since he is from Pluto. If Wisconsin wants to elect Space Aliens I guess I’ll be from Vulcan and run against Pocan. :-)
“Mark Pocan (WI CongressRat) undermining Wisconsin voter id law.”
Well, it’s what the LefTard voters in Madistan voted him IN for in the first place.
That’s he’s openly gay is just a BONUS. *SPIT*
Is he? I know nothing about him. I don't think he's authored any other legislation.
Yep. He took Tammy Baldwin’s (Lesbian, WI) old job. He has a ‘husband’ and everything! He’s the whole package for Madistan LibTards.
When’s the last time I mentioned that I cannot WAIT to get OUT of this effed up (Dane) County?
Oh, that would be maybe ten minutes ago, LOL!
I was reading about Obama’s latest State dinner, and they mentioned some guy’s name and referred to “his husband”. I had to read it three times to make sure that Iwas reading it correctly.
In reality, I would LOVE to have a ‘wife.’
Of course, just to have her do all of the household chores *I* still have to do as a Raging Heterosexual Woman in 2015.
Oops! Is that sexist? Well...too bad! :)
