Letter to the Editor: Voter ID bill threatens students
By Emma Gibbens | Feb. 28, 2011Most students are unaware that their right to vote is currently up for discussion at the Capitol. The senate bill proposal requires that to vote, one must have an ID with a current address. While this may seem logical, it completely disenfranchises the student voice in Wisconsin politics. Aimed at decreasing ""voter fraud,"" the bill would drastically decrease voter turnout, and Wisconsin would plummet from having very progressive voting laws to a system worse than any other state in the union.
