MAL Contends has a great posting from Fond du Lac, where real Democrat Jessica King is running in a primary against fake Democrat John Buckstaff. If King wins, she'll challenge randy Sen. Randy Hopper in a recall election on Aug. 9. (And as a special bonus, we offer this video of the randy senator taken earlier this year so you can see what a charmer he is.)
Something to remember: Wisconsin Republicans passed a voter suppression law that disenfranchises tens of thousands of seniors, minorities and students. It requires that people have a state-issued ID in order to vote. Get this: The law doesn't take effect yet, but voters are being asked for their IDs anyway.
Here's MAL Contends:
Report from Ward 10 in Fondy [Fond du Lac, Wisconsin], voters 388-90 at approximately 11:30 A.M at Rosenow Elementary School on Weis Avenue:
The poll worker's request to produce a Photo ID [ID not required but requested] reportedly met with a response: "Would you like a poll tax, as well?" as folks lined up to vote in the GOP-forced Democratic primary for Wisconsin State Senator Randy 'Bed' Hopper's (R-Fond du Lac) seat in Senate District 18.More from the tweetosphere:
The comment brought appreciative laughter from the line of people waiting to vote in the GOP-forced Democratic primary.
