Wisconsin citizens who are trying to register to vote are complaining about the difficulty associated with obtaining new Voter ID documents.
The most strident complaints concern the requirement that prospective voters pit their physical and mental abilities against a "voter take all" survival obstacle course, known unofficially as "VoterDome".
"I can't walk without a cane, how am I supposed to climb a rope ladder?" asked 73 year old Frances Lumpkin, a retired school teacher in Green Bay, "If I didn't know better, I'd almost say that Governor Walker didn't want me to vote at all."
"I am allergic to bee venom. So what happens if I don't dodge all of the poison tipped darts that are being shot at me as I am fleeing the temple with the golden idol? Its not like there are EMTs on hand in case something goes wrong. Not to mention what might happen if I tripped and that giant stone ball rolled over me," said 46 year old Ed Templeton in Madison, "And does Stephen Spielberg know about this? Because in addition to suppressing my ability to exercise my voting rights, this has to be some sort of copyright infringement. There is no way this is licensed."
Governor Scott Walker doesn't see what the fuss is all about.
A representative of Governor Walker's office issued the following statement:
"We feel that the measures taken to prevent voter fraud are inherently prudent. We are confident that every state in the Union will follow suit and have prospective voters negotiate an alligator pit by swinging over it using a series of ropes, handle poisonous snakes, dodge razor sharp pendulums, and defeat Vin Diesel in a game of Yahtzee before being allowed to exercise the privilege of voting in elections. The complaints are from a handful of disgruntled voter fraud advocates who obviously need to work on their upper body strength and cardio."
On September 9, the Wisconsin voters who survive VoterDome will cast ballots in a contentious recall election of State Senators.
