The League of Women Voters Wisconsin is reporting it has received more than 100 phone calls as of 2 p.m. from college students who are indicating they?re having trouble voting in Tuesday?s recall election. ?It?s a significant issue out there,? says Carolyn Castore, who is coordinating the League of Women?s Voters Wisconsin/Election Protection initiative. ?We?re getting all sorts of odd stuff.? Some of the more common problems for students, reports Castore, are related to hassles over proof of residency and apparent misinterpretations of the state?s relatively new voter ID law that was enacted last year and requires one to establish residency at a given address for 28 days in order to be able to vote from that location.
