In states where a photo identification is required to vote, Republican lawmakers have been able to avoid legal challenges to the rule by giving away free voter ID cards, thereby ducking the label of a "poll tax."

But in Wisconsin, which recently passed one of the nation's most restrictive voter ID laws, another roadblock exists: ignorance.

A leaked memo written by a high-ranking Wisconsin Dept. of Transportation official stipulates that DMV workers are not to offer the voter ID, leaving it to the patron to explicitly ask for the free ID, then fill out the proper paperwork.

1. That is the policy because the voter ID is FREE and the state ID costs

35 dollars.

If you don't say VOTER ID, you get stuck with the $35 fee. The whole thing is intentionally made to sound complicated. It will scare older people who worry about looking like they have dementia.

2. Hatch act violation?
