“A Wisconsin woman recorded the process of getting her son an ID to vote. She discovered that the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) could refuse to issue the constitutionally-mandated ID card if the voter’s bank account did not show enough “activity.” The clerk couldn’t explain what would happen if a resident was homeless or unemployed. The DMV also told her that voters would be charged $28 if they didn’t check a special box to indicate the ID was for voting, effectively making the fee a poll tax.”

Republicans are really desperate this cycle, eh? If you can’t beat the Dems, stop them from voting.
