For example, why aren't state-issues drivers licenses from other states accepted? Why would an expired ID card be any less valid than an unexpired one, if proof of identity is the only concern?<br /><br />Why doesn't Wisconsin accept affidavits like the states whose voter ID laws have passed court review so far, and like Wisconsin used to before this stupid law took effect? <br /><br />Not to let my biases show...MadCityVoternoreply@blogger.com
