Wisconsin Senate Schedules Voter ID Bill

They're refusing to take phoned-in votes.

Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald announced this afternoon that Senate Republicans will no longer recognize absent Dems who call in to participate in committee hearings.

Fitzgerald made the announcement after Senate Org approved scheduling voter ID for a vote tomorrow and dipped the bill in Finance.

Fitzgerald, R-Juneau, warned Dem leaders Mark Miller and Dave Hansen at yesterday's Org meeting that he may no longer extend the courtesy to them of phoning in for committee meetings. Transportation and Elections Chair Mary Lazich also refused yesterday to recognize Dem Jon Erpenbach for a vote on the voter ID bill in committee.
