Statistically, older voters tend to vote Republican, same for veterans. So I guess Scott Walker is out there trying to suppress voting demographics that tend to favor his party?

And where does the adjective "greedy" fit into this?

I think it is reasonable to expect that anyone who wishes to vote, should have to prove that they are eligible to vote. I also think it is incumbent on the state to make every reasonable effort to assist anyone to overcome any obstacle that stands between them and the voting booth. I fail to see how anyone eligible to vote can make it to the grocery store, but can't get to the Secretary of States Office, in a year. Voter registration drives should have outreach programs, and if necessary financial aid to secure required documentation. Give me the reasonable scenario where people cannot do this. Then see if the local democratic or republican party headquarters won't knock that obstacle down.

Obviously you have not been exposed to the political status in the Wisconsin Government.

This has been covered for some time. BTW, it has been approved by the WI Supreme Court. How is it illegal.

Voter registration drives conducted by ACORN and affiliated entities have led to controversy and allegations of vote fraud.
The organization has been accused of different types of misbehavior with regard to voter registration drives:

Failing to adequately monitor and supervise its employees to the point where the organization should be held responsible for what the employees did.
Turning in "massive numbers" of duplicate registration cards.
Turning in registration cards for fictional characters.
Turning in registration cards filled out by children.
Turning in registration cards where the signatures had been forged.
Timeline
2009
Milwaukee, Wisconsin: Latoya Lewis pled guilty on October 12, 2009 on charges of voter registration fraud. Lewis, who was working for ACORN when she committed the acts in 2008 that led to her guilty plea, said she was trying to "meet her quota as a paid registrar."[1]
2008
In Orange County, Florida, ACORN staffers submitted multiple, duplicate registrations on behalf of six separate voters over this summer. One individual had 21 duplicate applications. Election Supervisor Bill Cowles and his staff protested, noting in a June memo that ACORN had been submitting sloppy forms as well.[2]
The Michigan Secretary of State office told the Detroit Free Press that ACORN had been submitting a sizeable number of duplicate and fraudulent applications to vote.[3]

First, I've never heard of a "Veteran's ID Card" and second, all the man had to do is bring the following acceptable ID cards:

A Wisconsin DOT-issued driver license, even if driving privileges are revoked or suspended
A Wisconsin DOT-issued identification card
Military ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service
A U.S. passport

How is this a bad thing? A Veteran's ID card I'm confident is not a Government issued ID thus it is not authorized.
