Don't worry folks, nothing to see here in what may be the most hotly contested battleground state in the entire country:
A damning report is raising the alarm about a legal loophole allowing thousands to vote in Wisconsin without showing photo identification as required by state law.
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty's Monday morning release reveals the ‘indefinitely confined' voter rolls have reached more than 144,000, up 116% since 2016.
This state accommodation designed for the disabled, elderly, ill and infirm came under the spotlight in 2020 when Wisconsin's two largest cities — Milwaukee and Madison — told citizens to use the little-known law to vote without a photo ID during COVID restrictions.
Ahhh, yes. "The pandemic." "COVID restrictions."
Those things covered a multitude of sins! Including, apparently, allowing tens of thousands of voters to continue to skirt state law.
Voters in the state "are required to show a government-issued photo ID when voting but not when registering to vote." When registering to vote, meanwhile, they are required only to check the "Indefinitely Confined" box to start receiving absentee ballots indefinitely "for every election."
The end result of that policy has been about 144,000 voters still eligible to vote without showing ID.
And the demographics of those numbers will not surprise you:
Five Democratic strongholds have the highest number of voters with indefinitely confined status: Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay, Kenosha and Janesville, all of which went hard for Biden in 2020.
Sounds about right! Look for some delayed vote counts out of these precincts on Election Night!
