if we would extrapolate that and see how would it affect which is guys there s a $28 fee and they are told, the administrators are told not to say anything about the fact that it is free. gregg: it is all over the airways and newspapers in wisconsin that it is free. let s talk about whether theç legal aspects, there s a state constitution unlike the other types of challenges to this law. there s a state constitution. it says that you can only bar two classes of people from voting gregg: three. three if you consider the two i m mentioning, mentally incompetent, the third would befell lones, children. if you were going to add to that by doing what this law with would to disinfranchise voters the legislature does not have the authority for that. gregg: bob, the state constitution precludes felons,
it will go through the system. reporter: investigators are helping the sheriff track down suspects. this is why we do what we do. reporter: it isç emotional for you? it is real tough and hard to be unemotional. heather: thanks to justin grey of our fox affiliate in atlanta for that story. favorite story of the day for sure. gregg: great one. wisconsin s government is being sued over claims of voters discrimination. plaintiffs are saying the new law there requires voters to bring identification to the polls to prove who they are. does that actually violate state law? our legal panel is here to weigh in. [ ma annncer ] wouldn t it be cool
the governor being sued over claims that he s stepping on the state s constitution. league of women voters claiming a new law that requires voters to carry identification is illegal under state rules. walker 7zj that;frao plan commn sense. joining me to talk about it legal analyst bob massi and defense attorney joey jackson. bob, is it unreasonable somehow to require people who vote to be able to prove who they are? how is that capricious and discriminatory as the league of women voters asserts? i m assuming people have done the obvious research as to other cases or states that have had it that pass the snuff at the time is i think there s a rational basis for it. photo id s with all the fraud, identity theft going on in this country, and the different problems we ve had i don tç think it is an unreasonable act to require
to say in response to joey, do we always have to let thins in this country get to the extreme for purposes of laws to mitigate any potential damage? as a result of that preemactively, i think in the long run in is going to be aç good law. i think it will protect the integrity. i think the supreme court has spoken on it. joey, nine states have passed these voter id laws. more are to come. here in new york theyed is for my signature and they check to make they ask for my signature and they check to make sure, which is similar. joey jackson, bob massi that was a long night for you, i saw that costume you wore at the halloween party. you are terrible gregg. i hope nobody asked you for a photo id last night. you guys are outing me. more to come. [ talking over each other ] gregg: thanks guys. takeç care. take care.
