Walker and his pals do not have a plan as asked by the court previously--yet they do this. The smell of desperation is in the air!!

Scott Walker, J.B. Van Hollen again ask court to reinstate voter ID

Madison — Gov. Scott Walker and Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen are asking a federal court to reinstate Wisconsin's voter ID law, but they have not finalized a plan to comply with a different court's decision requiring the state to provide IDs to people who don't have birth certificates.

The state Supreme Court last month upheld the voter ID law, but the requirement to show photo ID at the polls remains blocked because a federal judge has found it violates the Voting Rights Act and U.S. Constitution.

A new court filing suggests the voter ID law is unlikely to be put in place for the Nov. 4 election, when the GOP governor faces Democrat Mary Burke. She opposes the voter ID law.

State officials say they need to know soon whether the law will be in effect so they can retrain poll workers and send out absentee ballots with the proper information. But the federal appeals court has said it won't rule on reinstating the voter ID law until at least Sept. 12 — around the time absentee ballots will be mailed out..................

1. Again, if you live in an ID state, do whatever you can to educate

people about the requirement and volunteer to help people secure an ID.

IMO, the Democratic Party in every ID state should have been organizing and spearheading that effort during the past four years.

Sure, if the courts abolish the requirement, it's cool. But, if they don't, people are prepared.

3. Voter id laws serve one purpose which is to suppress the vote
