Today there is an election in Wisconsin, the primaries. Apparently you need a driving license to vote in Wisconsin. Many older people, who vote for Clinton, will have stopped driving due to their age. Does this mean advantage Sanders? I heard a lot minorities don't ha a the necessary documentation either.

I doubt it will affect either group much, because only about 15% of Wisconsin's population is 65 or older -- and most 65-year-olds I know drive perfectly fine. I doubt licensure is a big issue.
For minorities, they total about 11% of Wisconsin's population. How many have, or don't have, documentation, and want to vote? I think Bernie will win the state. RE: Do the Wisconsin voter suppression law favour Sanders or Clinton more?

Actually, Brian Ronan was elected captain of my football team in a secret ballot back in 1981. The Coach didn't peek at the votes, either.

I've never understood the whole argument against having an id to vote. It's simply to prove who you are so you don't vote under someone else's name. Happens more often you would think. And why do minorities not have ids? You need an id to buy cigarettes and alcohol and drive. Seems to be the push that illegal immigrants should have the right to vote. Only in the US with tons of useful idiots would we allow non citizens the right to vote. But this is seriously the reason for it. In fact we are not even supposed to use the term illegal immigrant anymore. Apparently the left hates national soverignty, and doesn't think the US should have a border.

I met a guy who went to vote and saw his dead mother had signed her signature above his, and voted This was about 8 years ago. Nothing happened as a result, and there was no investigation that he knew of at least. Also have heard or many other instances. The key is getting people to think corruption doesn't happen, and that's how you get away with. Happens more often then those who want people not to have to present proof of identity to vote say.
