Please help ensure that every voter in Wisconsin knows that even though they'll be asked, they don't
have to show photo ID to vote in the recall elections.


Refuse To Show Photo ID When Voting During Recall Elections and Still Vote




The provision was added to confuse voters into believing they must show ID to vote in the recall elections, hoping to suppress Democratic voters in order to keep the radical-right stranglehold on Wisconsin. Don't be fooled, you don't have to show ID to vote until 2012!

The provision was added as part of the adopted Assembly Substitute Amendment 2 in section 144 (2) Special Procedure at Elections Held Prior to 2012 Spring Primary. The relevant text is:
"...an elector who votes at a polling place at an election held prior to the date of the 2012 spring primary shall be requested by the election officials to present proof of identification, but if the elector does not present proof of identification, and the elector is otherwise qualified, the elector’s ballot shall be counted without the necessity of presenting proof of identification and without the necessity of casting a provisional ballot."

2. Better yet, become a voter registrar. Contact the municipal clerk in the area you want to work...
...no ID required this time, but there will be in January with "Little Hitler" faces his recall.


Thanks for your activism.

11. No ID? What am I missing on that?
Maybe I'm missing something since I'm new to the forum. Why in the world would one not ask for an ID for someone who is voting?
