it's not the ID itself that's the problem...it's the difficulty in actually getting one for the elderly and poverty-level populations. There are not enough DMV offices in Wisconsin (some counties don't even have a DMV office--some people would have to drive over 70 miles one way), the hours are extremely limited (in a few northern counties, they are limited to 36 hours a year), many people would have a difficult time getting to the DMV offices (public transit is often not an option), many people without a birth certificate (needed to get the ID) would have to pay in order to get their birth certificate, etc.. I could go on...student IDs need to be changed, there is no voter education to inform voters of the changes, there are not mobile units (making it easier and more convenient for people to actually obtain their IDs....lots of issues and hoops to jump through the have not been addressed...
