Six million dollar cost past onto taxpayers to pay for photo I.D.

[midnight]

"Other elements of the bill would cost taxpayers more than $6 million over the next two years. Most of that would stem from lost revenue because the DMV would have to provide people with free IDs, though not free driver's licenses. Free IDs are provided in the bill to make sure the ID requirement is not considered an unconstitutional poll tax."http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/121682314.html

Since there is not a voter fraud problem, in that it is not wide spread, but possible an election fraud problem there seems little justification for this... And all this talk by Walker about saving tax payer money talk, is just that-talk... So I suppose we will use this photo id for other reasons... I can just assume there are greater plans for this nonsense....

1. This has always been a solution looking for a problem-

I listened to WPR-maybe Joy Cardin-she had the left and right guys on. These right-wing clowns stumble all over themselves trying to find legit excuses for voter id laws. Less poor folk voting = more repubs in office. They pretend that is not the sole reason. They don't want THOSE people voting.

2. When fewer Democratic votes are cast

they will say it just proves there was a lot of fraudulent voting before and they have fixed the problem.

3. You nailed that one, Dragonlady.

That is exactly what they'll say.

4. Some DUers like voter ID

I have read posts on DU where they say there is no harm in going for voter ID. If you see a post like this, please educate them. The posts are under the format "Discuss".
