Here is another prime example of just how dirty and un-American righties are:

Wisconsin Official Instructs Staff Not To Mention Free IDs For Voting

By Tyler Kingkade

WASHINGTON -- An internal memo sent around the Wisconsin Department of Transportation went public this week, sparking controversy over its instructions that employees should not tell state residents they can receive free photo identification for voting unless they ask.

The memo in question, sent out by former Republican state Senate aide Steve Krieser, the executive assistant of the Department of Transportation, is causing backlash across the state because of legislation signed in May by Republican Gov. Scott Walker requiring voters to show valid photo ID when going to the polls.

Evil bastards...

Yeah.. so fucking eveil that they put signs up reminding people to ask for the free ID...

Krieser argued that there are temporary signs posted at all of the Department of Motor Vehicle stations in the state to inform people they must check the box to request a free ID. He said there are plans to place permanent signs, but that he had no timeline for it.

FAIL. Utter, Lakhota FAIL

so fucking evil they missed out on over $300,000 in fees...

Since July 1, when the voter ID law went into effect, 59 percent of roughly 18,300 new IDs issued and renewed in Wisconsin have been free of charge, according to data provided by the Wisconsin DOT.

While there is no data on how many people wanted IDs for the purpose of voting, issuing more than 10,000 IDs free of charge means the state did not collect around $302,000 that it otherwise would have.

How DARE those evil Republicans cause the state to lose out on badly needed funding in order to provide free ID's to anyone who sees the posted signs andASKS!

The Democratic Party of Wisconsin has already pounced on the controversy, sending out an email to supporters questioning whether they should take Krieser at his word that there are actually signs on display.
