Why do Republicans want to protect the voting process?

Christian Schneider tells us why.

…under the previous Wisconsin law…If someone wanted to vote more than once, all they needed to do was know a name on the voter list, then use that name. That name could belong to a legitimate voter who didn’t show up to vote, or to a voter who doesn’t actually exist. Laws relaxing voter-registration requirements may have allowed groups like ACORN to stuff the rolls with names of fictitious people, which could then have been used to cast votes without any identification. Once that vote is cast, it is impossible to track down who came in and voted using that name.

But you don’t even have to create “fictitious people.” Just get the lists of people who’ve voted in the last several elections. That’s public information, available for the price of a CD. Then just see who hasn’t voted in the last few elections, and assume they won’t vote in this one, either.

If it was a tax loophole, Democrats would be all over it. But it’s a voting loophole, so they aren’t.

The best part is: Schneider pits two studies written by two different groups against each other. One group is funded by George Soros. The other is the Milwaukee Police Department.

Guess which one found problems?
