New WI Voter ID & Walker Recall Efforts

This week we look at Wisconsin’s controversial new voter I.D. law, and its effect on the effort to recall Governor Scott Walker. Guests will be two local business owners with opposing perspectives on the topics: Kevin Hermening and Darryl Mayfield. Hermening is a Wausau investment advisor and a former Republican candidate for Congress. Mayfield is the owner of a Mosinee window tinting business, and an instructor at Upper Iowa University. The voter I.D. law is being challenged in Wisconsin by the League of Women Voters, which claims that it is an effort to disenfranchise groups that typically vote Democratic. Proponents of the law say it is necessary in order to combat voter fraud.
