1. It happened in Wisconsin. And he had other ID. It's the principle of the thing.

   Paar said he was shocked to learn that the card, which he uses to receive his VA benefits, isn’t an acceptable form of ID under the law, noting that VA cards are the only form of identification some veterans have. He has already reached out to the VA about the problem as well as to the offices of Sen. Herb Kohl and state Rep. Robert Turner, D-Racine, he said.
   Signed into law last May, the voter ID law requires voters to present a driver’s license, state ID, passport, military ID, naturalization papers or tribal ID in order to vote. A photo ID from a college or university can be used but it must have an issuance date, an expiration date, and a signature. In order to use the ID to vote, a student must also provide a document proving current enrollment.
   The reason Paar wasn’t allowed to use his VA card is simple, Government Accountability Board spokesman Reid Magney said: Lawmakers who authored the bill did not include VA cards as an acceptable form of ID. [emphasis added]
