My Voter Eligibility Test.....

The cunning plan of the conservatives to seize and hold utter power in America seems to be based on dragging us all back into a repressive past, where only property owning men of the correct ethnic background with the proper political beliefs are the only ones deemed worthy of having the right to vote.
The latest assault on voting rights is occurring in of all places, why should we be surprised? Wisconsin!
Not only is the Republican party engaged in specifically targeted misinformation campaigns to "assist" voters in casting inelligible ballots, but they are trying to ram through one of the most restrictive voter registration programs in America. They want every registered voter to have a specially issued photo voter id card, which must be issued by the Wisconsin Department of Motor Vehicles.  Of course, this eliminates the concept of same day registration, it requires a special trip to an office and time wasted in bureaucratic procedures and of course, a fee.
Now for the extra special little kick in the groin: the state is trying to eliminate Department of Motor Vehicle Offices, in their ever trotted out spector of budget necessities...we won't even go into the obvious idiocy of the costs of the bureaucratic costs involved in the id card plan, but the offices being closed are coincidentally in inner city and traditional Democratic Districts.
A coincidence....so as a public service from thebrainpolice, we would like to provide a link for Wisconsin voters to explain the requirements as they stand today to legally be registered to vote in the upcoming recalls scheduled for August 9th and the 16th. Click here for info!
But perhaps it's time to launch an offensive here...maybe it's time to make voters pass a simple logic/literacy awareness test. Requiring just a little bit of knowledge might be all it takes to weed out the abject tea brained morons and make our election process Bachmann Proof!

If you got one wrong, you are an idiot.  If you got two wrong, you are a tea brain and should not be allowed to vote.  (It’s likely that even if the correct answers were presented in bold italic type, most tea brains would answer at least two incorrectly.)
