MADISON, WI (WTAQ) – Wisconsin would implement online registration for voters by the spring of next year, and forbid Milwaukee officials from moving forward with a plan to provide local IDs, under bills approved by a Senate committee Wednesday.
Republicans on the Senate Elections Committee approved the registration proposal, on a party-line 3-2 vote.
As rewritten by a late-breaking amendment, the bill would also make changes to state elections law.
The panel also approved a separate proposal prohibiting county and town governments from issuing, or spending money on, photo identification cards.
