Bank ‘Activity’ Required For Wisconsin Voter ID

July 28th, 2011

Via: disinfo.com:

In the state of Wisconsin, you may be denied the ability to vote for lack of sufficient recent “bank activity”. A woman surreptitiously filmed the interactions as her 18-year-old son leaps through hurdle after hurdle in an attempt to get a constitutionally-guaranteed state ID so that he could vote. At the DMV, the pair is told that voter IDs were not issued when voters’ bank accounts did not show enough “activity.” The clerk had no answer when asked what would happen in the case of a resident who was homeless or unemployed, or too poor to maintain the minimum balance required for a checking account.

    Brilliant – eliminate voters who would never vote for you anyway – give their money to rich individuals and corporations who really don’t need it, and then run around gnashing your teeth about how large the debt is and get those same people who have no vote to pay for it all! A truly corrupt system that should be taken down.
