Wisconsin Man Turned Away At Polls Under New ID Rules

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A Sun Prairie man is angry that he was turned away from the polls under Wisconsin's new voter ID requirements.

Tony Harper says he's been a registered Wisconsin voter since 1982. But he says he wasn't allowed to vote even though he carried his Wisconsin driver's license and his U.S. passport -- proof of his Wisconsin residency and U.S. citizenship.

He says he moved from Madison to Sun Prairie about a year and a half ago, but his license still shows his old address.

He says officials told him his auto insurance bill wasn't sufficient proof of his new address.

Harper, a middle-aged white man who wouldn't disclose his political leanings, says he plans to return after work with qualifying proof. But he says it's a big inconvenience for him and suspects it will be for other voters who work day shifts.
