With Voter Suppression, the Right Wing Rolls Out a Dubious, Nationwide Attack on Americans
by WePartyPatriots


If you tune in to politics, you likely felt the Internet reverberations of Wisconsin's Voter ID Bill, commonly referred to as Voter Suppression, passing through the Wisconsin Legislature late last month. After being delayed thanks to Senate Democrats debating the bill and offering what would become ungranted amendments, the bill passed along party lines. The League of Women voters denounced the GOP's "fear-based approach instead of a fact-based solution" saying in a statement that "In its rush to pass legislation to restrict voting before the recall elections, the majority party in the state Senate has shown an utter disregard for common respect and fair process." Videos of two Wisconsin Democratic Senators deriding the measure appear at the bottom of this post.

Perhaps most suspiciously, the Main Street blog notes, Wisconsin's Voter Suppression bill goes in to effect in advance of the recall elections of six GOP state senators this summer.
