Restore integrity in Wisconsin's election system
The state Assembly is poised to a pass a bill that would require voters to show photo identification at the polls.

Magicard Rio Grande & Rio Mifare printers launched at CardTech show
Two new members of the Ultra Magicard color ID card printer family were launched at the CardTech/SecurTech show in New Orleans. The Rio Grande is a CR-100 large-format single sided card printer that is aimed at US airport and government security applications where long-range portrait visibility is essential. The Rio Grande uses standard LC1 dye ribbons, and features Ultra's patented HoloKote? and HoloPatch? anti-counterfeiting technology. The new MifareŽ printer is available in both the Rio (single sided) and Tango (double sided) configurations, and provides in-line encoding of MifareŽ Contactless chip-cards. MifareŽ is a 13.56 MHz proximity-card system that provides both access control and 1000 bytes of memory organized as 15 separate password protected "electronic purse" sectors. MifareŽ cards are popular for access control, biometrics, campus cards, electronic fare collection, loyalty schemes, park and ride, pre-paid metering, and many other uses. The Rio or Tango MifareŽ printers will read and encode the MifareŽ card stock before printing, and both can take advantage of Ultra's patented HoloKoteTM and HoloPatchTM card security system.

Besides being unnecessary and unconstitutional, implementing a national identification (ID) card system would be too expensive that the cash-strapped government may not afford, according to a party-list lawmaker.Bayan Muna Representative Teodoro Casiņo said the government, which is now in a rush looking for ways on how to solve its financial woes, will have to shell out an additional R1.6 billion for the ID cards alone of just about half of the country?s population.But as Casiņo was trying to convince lawmakers who favor the National ID System Bill to change their minds due to lack of funding, the House leadership appears to be determined in pushing for the measure.
