Hillary Rodham Clinton’s top campaign lawyer has filed a second voter-access lawsuit accusing a Republican-led state of trying to suppress the vote — this time in Wisconsin, home to Scott Walker, the governor and likely Republican 2016 presidential candidate.
“This lawsuit concerns the most fundamental of rights guaranteed citizens in our representative democracy — the right to vote,” the complaint states, then refers to a curtailing of early voting in the state, among other changes that affect minority voters and other groups. “That right has been under attack in Wisconsin since Republicans gained control of the governor’s office and both houses of the State Legislature in the 2010 election.”
Mrs. Clinton’s aides said the suit was not filed on behalf of the campaign, but they offered their support for it.

What if Wisc. contributed more to the Clinton Foundation?
Bring it. We already know how people in Wisconsin react to outside interference. It resulted in Scott Walker winning a recall election, and then re-election.
The problem is that this will be decided by only one person.
In black robes.
not the voters.
While I am certainly not intending to play arrogant Canadian here, still I find reports of Democrat antics like these very extremely disturbing. Up here, for many years now, it is so much a granted thing that you are required to produce some sort of photo identification (driver’s licence, passport, etc) to cast a ballot so as to ensure the integrity of a vote. Yet these same Democrats will sanctimoniously use my country as an example of freedom and compassion being balanced. I find that combined with their challenges to voter ID laws both very galling and very selfish.
Shove it you lying POS. So you can’t steal votes? Boo Hoo.
I go to Calgary or Hong Couver 10 times a year (or so), I find the Canadians, (even the liberal ones), to have a high level of common sense, as you have demonstrated.
Unbelievable! Preventing pro-abortion backers from voting? I just wish that we could do that, but it’s the farthest thing from the truth.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
A very timely action on the part of the Clinton campaign designed to call attention to rabid, liberal Democrats, and to throw mud at Scott Walker.
Don’t believe that the Clinton crones are not mixed up in this action.
You are spot on. Only the most naive of the low-info voters in the US still believe that the democrats’ objection to the photo ID requirement is about ‘civil rights” and has nothing to do with enabling illegals to vote in our elections and multiple voting by the rest of their base.
So stopping a fraudulent voter — denies the fraudster’s “rights”?
When did early voting become a right?
I must have missed that somewhere...
Why does early voting affect minorities harder? Are minorities in some way busier than everybody else? Are they more prone to time constraints that do not affect the population in general?
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation provides free state ID cards for voting. All you have to do is actually live in Wisconsin and go to a DMV office to get one. I’m sure that there is at least one federally funded community organization that will even pick people up and get them to a DMV office. They probably picked them up many times in the past so that they could vote 3 or 4 times in the same election.
