Wisconsin's league of Women voters have taken Walker to court over his ID law because it violates our State Constitution..
Minnesota Republicans failed to get their version of the proposal into law, mostly due to opposition from Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton, but are talking about asking voters to put the concept into the state Constitution.
Minnesota Republicans want the measure in the Constitution, where courts or future legislatures cannot simply overturn it as they could a law.
Reaction was mixed when Wisconsin elections officials tried out the photo ID concept during the recall elections. In some places, lines moved fine. But elsewhere there were reports of delays and fears that there will be even longer waits during bigger elections, such as next year’s presidential vote.
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker spearheaded the ID law and said that it only makes sense since the state already requires an identification to obtain a library card, cold medicine and other goods and services.
