UGH, I hope Wisconsin can get rid of this guy when he's up for election.
In 2008, Wisconsin enjoyed the second highest turnout of any state in the nation (72.4% of eligible voters cast a ballot), due largely to the fact WI law allows residents who aren’t registered or have recently moved to register at the polls. That year, approximately 460,000 people used Election Day Registration, 15% of all Wisconsinites who cast a ballot. Governor Scott Walker pressed his case for ending same-day registration during a speech at the Ronald Reagan Library in California on Friday:
“States across the country that have same-day registration have real problems because the vast majority of their states have poll workers who are wonderful volunteers, who work 13 hour days and who in most cases are retirees,” Walker said. “It’s difficult for them to handle the volume of people who come at the last minute. It’d be much better if registration was done in advance of election day. It’d be easier for our clerks to handle that. All that needs to be done“.
Funny.....WI was the FIRST state to enact Election Day registration in 1971. Why is it that's it only a problem now? And if you want to eliminate election day registration, you make it EASIER to register. You don't close offices and make it more difficult to get ID to register.
