WASHINGTON -- A Wisconsin judge declared a state law requiring people to show photo ID in order to be allowed to vote unconstitutional on Monday, issuing a permanent injunction blocking the state from implementing the measure.
"Without question, where it exists, voter fraud corrupts elections and undermines our form of government," wrote Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess in his decision. "The legislature and governor may certainly take aggressive action to prevent its occurrence. <span style='font-size: 17pt'>But voter fraud is no more poisonous to our democracy than voter suppression. Indeed, they are two heads on the monster."</span></div></div>
So the judge agrees that these voter ID laws are just a despicable attempt to exclude voters from voting.
<span style='font-size: 14pt'>Who would ever have thought that?</span>
Surely these Republicans who passed these laws [ all round the country! ] must have known they were unconstitutional?
Don't they have access to legal advice?

Niess agreed with this argument:
Article III is unambiguous, and means exactly what it says. It creates both necessary and sufficient requirements for qualified voters. Every United States citizen 18 years of age or older who resides in an election district in Wisconsin is a qualified elector in that district, unless excluded by duly enacted laws barring certain convicted felons or adjudicated incompetents/partially incompetents.
<span style='font-size: 17pt'>The government may not disqualify an elector who possesses those qualifications on the grounds that the voter does not satisfy additional statutorily-created qualifications not contained in Article III,<span style='font-size: 26pt'> such as a photo ID</span></span> </div></div>
Duhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........
