#1 Make ID cards costless and do away with this siliness about poors voters.

#2 In some places the IDs issued in lieu of drivers licenses are costless. And sometimes they'll even come to you to issue them. But people still complain they're racist.

#3 We all have to show IDs in many situations other than voting. It is not a hardship. One can only assume that because there is so much pushback by the left against showing IDs at the voting booth, that they are OK with rigged elections.

#4 The photo ID cards have been 'costless' for some time for documented low-income folks in Wisconsin. The argument was (and still is) that the 'voters' will have to go to the local Motor Vehicle Department in order to apply. Supposedly transportation to the DMV stations is hardship for some 'disadvantaged' folks.

Although these same folks will walk or take a bus all over town to use their EBT cards (requiring a photo ID) or pick up a couple quarts of Colt 45 (IDs required here, too).

Another complaint, because the DMV stations are open only during normal working hours during the week, not everyone can get there (supposedly). Solution implemented to keep the stations open later a couple days a week. Some folks will still b*tch.

#5 It does not need to go to the Supreme Court. The Wisconsin voter I.D. law is materially the same as another States (I do not recall which state.) law which was upheld by the Supreme Court.

That law needs to be replicated in all 57 states.

#7 Sonny, of course it has to go back to the Supreme Court. And if they uphold it, Holder will keep going back to the Court until they get it RIGHT! /sarcasm
