I hope Clinton supporters & Sanders supporters can jointly oppose Wisconsin disenfranchisment

...by spreading info on acceptable ID to minimize the number of people who show up to vote and get turned away.

This is an official Wisconsin website on the requirements:
http://bringit.wisconsin.gov/do-i-have-right-photo-id

Some of the rules are complicated, such as college ID being accepted only under certain conditions.


A photo identification card issued by a Wisconsin accredited university, college or technical college that contains date of issuance, signature of student, and an expiration date no later than two years after date of issuance. Also, the university, college or technical college ID must be accompanied by a separate document that proves enrollment.


The Voter ID law was signed by the Republican governor, Scott Walker. Please spread that link to minimize the number of people he disenfranchises.

I don't know if there is anything ordinary people could have done to reduce problems in Michigan.

Arizona falsely labeled Registered Democrats & Registered Republicans as Independents & stopped them from voting.

In her private meeting on the UW campus. It may be hard since she has a 1000 foot security perimeter. But she'll have the ears of the people who are actually creating the problem, so that may be why she's there...she can tell the to cut it out.

Do you know who will be in the room? I am pretty sure you are not invited. Let me know if I am wrong And if you are, take a look around the mahogany lined room...

The powerbrokers at UW will not be denied their audience. And they have been very busy this past few years with their lean and mean business model. If you think Scott Walker is the only bastard in Wisconsin, you are not digging hard enough.
