On May 25, Walker signed the voter photo ID bill which mandates voters present a driver's license, state ID, military ID, passport, naturalization papers or tribal ID before casting their ballots.
Critics claim that the new voting restrictions disenfranchise minorities, students, the poor and the elderly -- all groups who tend to vote Democratic.
A practice run earlier this month found that nearly 20 percent of voters coming to the polls did not have a photo ID with them.
Democratic Wisconsin state Rep. Andy Jorgensen told The Associated Press that Walker appeared to be targeting Democratic districts with his decision to shut down 10 Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) offices.
If the house overrides Perdue Veto of the Voter ID Act, will the GOP Legislature move to close DMV too..Like there counter parts in other states???
