Walker’s arrogant attempts at voter suppression based on lack of facts (like all the other failures so far with his administration) show that he is not for creating jobs. He’s for creating division and petty politics.

The Voter ID legislation would go into effect for April 5 elections. It is a careless, hastily done piece of legislation that doesn’t take into account the elderly, those without driver’s licenses and others while being founded on allegations of voter fraud that have been extremely overblown.

So what, says Walker.

Many Republicans, including Gov. Scott Walker and state Rep. Scott Krug of Wisconsin Rapids, are pushing for passage of the new requirement in time for the April 5 election, arguing the change is needed to combat voter fraud and ensure the integrity of the election. The bill was modeled after a 2005 Indiana law the U.S. Supreme Court upheld after it was challenged. Under the proposed law, voters would need to present a driver’s license, military or state identification card or certificate issued by the Wisconsin Department of Transportation before casting their ballots. The legislation could make it to a vote in either the state Senate or Assembly this week. Both chambers of the Legislature and Walker would need to approve the bill before it could go into effect.

Students that have photo IDs that their colleges honor would be out of luck. Voters with disabilities would be screwed. There is no mention about absentee voting either in the legislation.

It’s merely ham-headed decisions made due as payback to right-wing PAC money from outside Wisconsin that is continuing to hurt the state, all done with Walker’s soft hands. Not one stinking job is created from this zealotry.
