I'm beginning to think the government correspondence method may turn out to be very important. Our elected representatives would surely be glad to send us a reply if we wrote to them with a question or comment and--voila!--we have government-issued correspondence.
Remember that there are four facts to prove for an ID: name and date of birth, identity, Wisconsin residency, U.S. citizenship (plus Social Security number).
The link to all of the items that will prove the four facts is here:
