Wisconsin: College students facing challenges with Voter ID Law
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire leaders will meet Thursday to discuss the new Voter ID Law and what it means for students who want to vote in November. Following the reinstatement of the Voter ID Law last Friday, UW-Madison announced that it will provide students with separate voter ID cards starting next week. Itâs an idea UW-Eau Claire says it will also discuss. Student leaders say itâs already a challenge to get students registered and to the polls to vote, but now with the requirement for a valid photo ID, there may be other hurdles. Jordan Luehmann, a student at UW-Eau Claire, said voting is important because at the end of the day, voting is what makes a difference. âItâs important for the country’s future, it’s important for you now even in college,â said Luehmann. âEven if you don’t like politics, the one thing you should do is vote. I think thatâs a powerful thing to do.â
