It ends like this:

Until the U.S. Supreme Court acts, Wisconsin must take every voter at his or her word that they are who they say they are. The issue of free and fair elections is one which transcends political philosophy, and voter ID enforces that. Elections should be treated with respect by the entire electorate − Wisconsin deserves it.

I support the Wisconsin voter ID law, and when decisions like this come before me you can be assured I will stick to the rule of law and follow the guidelines of the constitution in all circumstances. As circuit court judge, this has been my philosophy, and I will not let my personal beliefs influence my decision making.

I ask for your vote on April 7.
