Quick to take advantage of any opportunity to disparage voter ID laws, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was beside himself over people being required to — egad! — wait in line to vote.
While discussing Tuesday’s Wisconsin primary, Matthews and his panel were outraged over that state’s “strict” voter ID laws, suggesting that the simple act of showing identification or, for new voters, proving residency before casting a ballot is tantamount to voter suppression.

The proof? Lines at the polls.
Never mind that, according to Twitchy.com, requirements to vote in Wisconsin are similar to many other states. Local CBS affiliate WSAW also reported that there were “few issues with ID law and registration.”
But don’t tell Matthews and crew, who were too busy pushing a narrative to take a moment to look at all the facts.
A half hour later they went live to a polling station with no lines and said that was because of the Wisc. voter id laws

While MSNBC lamented over the poor cupcakes having to wait in line to vote, social media users offered a fair dose of reality (even if it does counter the liberal propaganda).
Here’s a sampling of responses from Twitter:

@SalenaZitoTrib @hardball_chris amazing that you need an ID for virtually anything in life but asking one to have one to vote is suppression

@SalenaZitoTrib @Shanemober @hardball_chris you need a drivers license and proof of insurance when you drive. How did they ever survive.

@SalenaZitoTrib @hardball_chris Sad, just sad that something as simple as showing an ID is vilified.” I guess it is also TSA travel bias.

@SalenaZitoTrib @hardball_chris Its called Leftist street theatre — manufactured outrage in service to “the greater good”

@SalenaZitoTrib @charlescwcooke @hardball_chris Watch and see low voter turnouts in certain urban wards that USED to cheat for Dems.

@SalenaZitoTrib @hardball_chris I had to stop at a table and pull out my ID. The suppressive experience took all of 8 seconds.
