If they legally cannot, then I recommend they take it to the courts, the courts would rule in their favor, and they would be allowed to vote again. Personally I'm not that all outraged.
Even if it is legal, I would not agree with their actions. I simply believe that the people have the right to be represented, and preventing anyone from voting is an infringment on our democratic processes and infringes upon the people's right to be represented.
I do want to remain on the fence about a lot of this... but a lot of issues I've been hearing about in Wisconsin disturbed me. The governor had no problem threatening the people with the National Guard. I heard reports that police had no problems open firing on the protestors (thankfully that didnt happen). And simply put I've heard a lot of things that disturb me with the government's actions.
Although, I want to stay on the fence over the specific issue they are debating over, since I have never seen where wisconsin's money goes, and as I'm not a tax payer of that state, its not my business. Although, I'm quite certain that the protestors have become too dependent upon government aid, and the Governor is trying to only cut completely insignificant portions of the budget, and make it look like he is a hero for supposedly balancing the budget.
