Wisconsin Students Learning To Beat GOP Voter ID Law

[one...two...tree 2,762]

Finally, a report from the frontline of the voting wars where progressives are not fretting about GOP plans to take away their votes but are doing something about it -- like figuring out how to pass through the voter ID minefield to vote next spring.

Madison, Wisconsin's Capital Times reports that even though the state's new tougher voter ID law is the biggest change in voting procedures in nearly two decades, student groups are making plans to educate themselves on not being blocked at the polls. Here's a tidbit:

"While the law is not a positive in terms of helping students vote, I think it has spurred a sense of motivation and determination that will hopefully allow us to spread the word to students across Madison about what they'll need to do to be able to register and then vote next year," says Sam Polstein, a UW-Madison junior who helped form the Madison Student Vote Coalition, a non-partisan organization dedicated to registering and motivating area students to vote.

A voting awareness week starts today, months ahead of the Feb. 21, 2012 spring primary. On the ballot may be a possible recall of GOP Gov. Scott Walker.

i find it amusing how left-wing nutters are obsessed with wanting to be able to vote without verifying your legal status.... It says a lot about them and who they really want voting for them...

Obama is more desparate than ever to find SOMEONE to vote for him. Too bad he can't run on his record and be re-elected because more than 50% of us WANT four more years of his leadership.

So ... students will learn what documents they will need to register to vote legally? Is that what this article is saying?

Then the law will have served its purpose.

As for recalling Scott Walker ... the more the electorate in Wisconsin learn about the fallout from scrapping collective bargaining, the more they're wondering why it took them so long to do it. Just look at the school health insurance situation and see just how the teachers union was fleecing the state. Collective bargaining is gone and won't be back.

Collective bargaining is gone and won't be back.

I think you meant Hosni Walker will be gone and won't be back.
