IOWA CAUCUSES - JANUARY 3, 2012, DO as I say, Not as I do.
In Wisconsin, for sure Milwaukee, the Republican Party's leadership has made no bones about how "FRAUD" is a great possibility if the voter is not armed/saddled with proper photo identification (i.e., state driver's license or state ID) isn't availabe for voting in elections.
Below is what took place on January 3, 2012 Iowa Caucus selection. The tally is at the bottom.
=============
Despite nationwide efforts to make voting more difficult, the Republican Party of Iowa decided to buck the trend and allow for on-site registration. In doing so, however, they necessarily undercut the argument being made by GOPers in many other states that election day registration (EDR) invites fraud. (Of course, voters are 39 times more likely to be struck by lightning than commit fraud at the polls, and EDR actually helps prevent already-miniscule levels of fraud.)
