Walker Thanks Stone For Leadership on Photo ID Bill

Gov. Scott Walker releases statement thanking Stone.

Senate Republicans approved State Rep. Jeff Stone's (R-Greendale) photo ID bill on Thursday that requires people to show photo ID at the polls.

Gov. Scott Walker released a statement thanking Stone for his leadership on this bill.

“Protecting the integrity of our elections is central to ensuring our government has the full faith and confidence of the citizens it represents,” Governor Walker said. “Requiring photo identification to vote will go a long way to eliminate the threat of voter fraud.  If you need an ID to buy cold medicine, it’s reasonable to require it to vote.  I would like to thank Senator Leibham and Representative Stone for their years of leadership on this common sense piece of legislation.”
