That would be the point

After a test run in Madison of the new state voter ID law led to lines so long some voters abandoned the effort, the city’s clerk is encouraging other municipalities to do tests of their own.

Madison City Clerk Maribeth Witzel-Behl told The Post-Crescent the same issues that arose during their mock election Tuesday would come up across the state during the spring primaries on Feb. 21. The primaries will be the first time Wisconsin voters are required to show photo identification and sign a poll book before casting their ballot.

That’s one of the effects of arduous voting procedures. Vote suppressors know all the tricks.
