| Judges Put Election Reforms in Wisconsin on Hold, Except for Voter ID |
| 2016-08-25 |
| [DAILYSIGNAL] On Monday, a three-judge panel of the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused without comment to stay a Wisconsin district court opinion in One Wisconsin Institute v. Thomsen that threw out changes the state legislature had made in early voting rules as well as other changes such as the residency requirement for new voters. However, some men learn by reading. A few learn by observation. The rest have to pee on the electric fence for themselves... the state’s voter ID law will remain in place for the November election because the district court judge, James D. Peterson, a President Barack Obama I am the change that you seek... appointee, stayed his earlier ruling against the ID law on Aug. 11. Peterson didn’t have much choice on that issue: The same three-judge panel that refused to stay his overall ruling had issued a stay on the voter ID issue on Aug. 10 in a second district court case in Wisconsin, Frank v. Walker. In that case, another federal judge, Lynn Adelman, a Bill Clinton ...former Democratic president of the U.S. Bill was the second U.S. president to be impeached, the first to deny that oral sex was sex, the first to have difficulty with the definition of is... appointee and former Democratic state senator, required the state to allow anyone who signed a form stating they could not obtain an ID to vote--despite the fact that Adelman admitted "most voters in Wisconsin either possess qualifying ID or can easily obtain one." |

| #3 P2K, Yes... Implicit in the Judge's Scenario is that a person who did not have ID will have, mirabile dictu!, sufficient ID in the future. |

| #2 It's simple. You don't have a valid ID, you fill out a paper ballot which is enclosed in a envelope with your claimed ID information. If the election is close enough, then the voter information is validated before being opened and counted in the final numeration for the election. 1 - they still get the vote. 2 - the information is validated prior to counting. 3 - the unvalidated votes show you why there are ID requirements. |

| #1 ...required the state to allow anyone who signed a form stating they could not obtain an ID to vote... Exactly how will the person filling out the form ID themselves, your Honor (sic)? |
