These very same clerks were not in favor of reducing the days and hours of early voting and absentee ballot voting changes. If they are indeed in charge of elections they need to stand up for all voters so our voices can be heard. I see lawsuits coming and all kinds of vote counting errors and suspicions of corruption. DMV will in no way be able to handle this along with all the computer verification that will be required. What Walker wants Walker gets.....limit the ballots!

If you are more than twice as likely to be denied because of race that is discrimination and that is the intent of the law.<br /> 3rd and most importantly those percentages of the population work out to large numbers of people. I suspect to that they are very low estimates. However even if it only disenfranchised one individual that would be a violation of the Constitution.Jonathan Swiftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-16316563834514685922014-09-13T07:39:19.421-05:002014-09-13T07:39:19.421-05:00"Voter ID - which allows Mitt Romney (or fill..."Voter ID - which allows Mitt Romney (or fill in the name of any Republican candidate here) to win - done!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-61320994045286428762014-09-12T22:30:29.441-05:002014-09-12T22:30:29.441-05:00How can the DMV do other business?How can the DMV do other business?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402019306306792027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-35516523560269846372014-09-12T22:29:07.338-05:002014-09-12T22:29:07.338-05:00How do people get their driver's license or re...How do people get their driver's license or register a car?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402019306306792027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-19138792791517370922014-09-12T19:25:52.728-05:002014-09-12T19:25:52.728-05:00Lori Compass is tweeting "the DMV in fort atk...Lori Compass is tweeting "the DMV in fort atkinson is open for THREE DAYS between now and the election, during work hours only. 8:30-4:15 on 9/25, 10/9, and 10/23."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-10953040173239185082014-09-12T19:05:45.658-05:002014-09-12T19:05:45.658-05:00I do not know the answer.

That would be because government would wish to enable citizens. I would hope that the situation at DMV as a voter registration drive ensues is well documented. I doubt that the present state government is in any way interested in enabling citizens. James, here is a specific question: if a student has a driver's license with a home address other than campus, is the state going to deny voting at the campus of residence?mikeutzingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031185191895655099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6621691715090523319.post-25112525345388259022014-09-12T18:27:40.233-05:002014-09-12T18:27:40.233-05:00An appeal to the Supreme Court is possible.
