DNC Attacks Scott Walker For Fundraising Off Voter ID Law
Source: TPM
WASHINGTON The Democratic National Committee harshly condemned 2016 presidential hopeful Gov. Scott Walker for fundraising off a controversial voter ID law he enacted in Wisconsin.
"Its unbelievable that Gov. Walker would seek to capitalize financially off of the potential disenfranchisement of Wisconsin voters," Michael Tyler, DNC's director of African American media, said in a statement provided first to TPM. "While we've come to expect cynical tactics restricting voting access from Republican leaders across the country, it's truly incredible that some are now using them as fundraising opportunities."
Tyler added: "Those who might be inclined to make a contribution off of such a cynical ploy should remember that in Wisconsin, more Scott Walker aides have been indicted than people have been convicted of voter impersonation. Scott Walker should be ashamed of himself."
In a fundraising email to supporters sent on Wednesday, the Republican governor hailed as "great news" the Supreme Court's decision to reject a challenge to the Wisconsin law he enacted in 2011, which requires voters to show government-issued photo ID before they vote.

His corporate special-interest financiers show no remorse for driving our state and nation into the ground. Their craven addiction to profit at ANY cost knows no bounds.
