No connection between problem, 'solution'

Quick: What will a photo ID to do prevent people from voting in two states?

Nothing, of course.

But that didn't stop Wisconsin Republicans from trying to make the connection. And the Journal Sentinel's Greg Borowski is good for a long story on anything that mentions "voter fraud," rehashing every allegation made in the last year.

Tuesday's story from JS online:
Republicans today sent a photo ID requirement to Gov. Jim Doyle for a third time, on the same day the state party sent evidence to investigators that at least nine people who voted in Milwaukee last November also cast ballots in other cities, including Chicago and Minneapolis.

At a Milwaukee news conference, party leaders - including the sponsors of the photo ID bill - said the findings of duplicate voters in Milwaukee and other cities adds a new urgency for reforms. They also called on investigators, who have already charged nine people with voter fraud, to review the matter.
