Wisconsin state senator: Voter ID would have won election for Romney

[Brittain33]

There's a thread asking why MN Dem voters didn't support voter ID restrictions... arguments that slip out into the public like this are a reason why. Wisconsin State Sen. Alberta Darling (R) said that voter ID laws would have eliminated enough Obama votes to give Romney the state of Wisconsin.

I very strongly doubt she's right.

(Still a horrible thing to say. But unfortunately, it's no secret that this is the main motive that Republicans have in this debate.)

If it wasn't already apparent, this is really what these voter ID laws were and are all about.

Maybe voter ID + Johnson & Goode don't get ballot access would win Wisconsin. Otherwise, no.

I'm sure the lady would feel right at home in South Carolina during the 1950's.

It's funny how Republicans are so open about their true intentions with this stuff.
