Thumbs up Voter ID Law In Wisconsin Struck Down

"A federal judge in Wisconsin has struck down that state's Voter ID law.
District Judge Lynn Adelman ruled that the state didn't make a compelling case that voter fraud exists and needs to be combated. He also ruled that it's not clear that it would be easy for people without valid photo ID to obtain it and said the law unduly targets minority voters.
"The evidence at trial established that virtually no voter impersonation occurs in Wisconsin," Adelman wrote. "The defendants could not point to a single instance of known voter impersonation occurring in Wisconsin at any time in the recent past."
The decision comes a week after an Arkansas judge struck down that state's new Voter ID law. The Justice Department is also challenging such laws in North Carolina and Texas." WaPo

Good call your honor! Anyone who thinks all these voter i.d. laws are anything but an attempt to screw the vote, has rocks in their head.

Considering their track record I think at least four would vote to reverse this ruling. That bridge will be crossed someday, I just hope that the make up of the court will be different that day my friend.
