Widespread Milwaukee vote fraud in 2004......not.

Interesting item from yesterday's Journal Sentinel. This coming after some of the wis-pol right wing bloggers professed the 2004 election was stolen in Wisconsin. I haven't seen any mention of the recently reported FACTS on any of these sites that, 6 months ago, were so quick to say there was organized voter fraud in Milwaukee. They used this as fuel to argue for the passing of a law requiring every person to present a photo ID in order to vote. Without mentioning the fact that this law would have done nothing to prevent the few isolated cases of voter fraud that were found in Milwaukee, what it would do is require hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin citizens who don't carry a state issued photo ID to get one to allow them to vote. Who are these people who don't have IDs? Mostly the poor and senior citizens, exactly the type of people republicans don't want voting. Ahh.......democracy.

The funny part is that senior citizens would go get an ID to ensure they could vote. The Dems would offer cigarettes as ID signups the poor could vote.

You don't think that each party would find ways to get people IDs so they could vote? Voter registrations would be side by side with people offering to give ID cards to those without so they could vote.

I guess some people prefer to keep all options open to cheating when they can.
