To high school seniors & college students excited to come of age and cast your first ballots, #Wisconsin apologizes to you today. #VoterIDToday Scott Walker signed a bill restricting access to the voting franchise — a First Amendment right, according to the most conservative justice on the Wisconsin Supreme Court — in America, the world's greatest democracy. Walker held what was described as a "ceremony" to do this.
To the disabled, casting ballots against physical odds that would daunt the strongest of us, #Wisconsin apologizes to you today. #VoterID

We will right this wrong. It will not be allowed to stand. Because THAT is the #Wisconsin way. #VoterID
Sort of a funeral.
He and his fellow Republicans in Madison are apparently quite proud of this achievement, which they claim is designed to remedy "widespread voter fraud" throughout Wisconsin, of which there is zero evidence.
In fact it's designed to limit political participation. In America.
And indeed the recently completed Wisconsin Supreme Court election recount proved there is no voter fraud at all, let alone "widespread." Perhaps that is the real reason why Republicans opposed the recount.

Wonderfully put.
Bravo! Thank you for your eloquent statement. I wish I knew who you are!
The closest we've come to voter fraud problems in WI is the Waukesha clerk with the computer problem......
Didn't notice this the first time around. Bravo to spenski.
