voting rules

The voting begins for Marquette's nickname today. Marquette is requiring a voter ID:
To begin, you will be asked to input your unique “MU Voice” code number. Students, faculty and staff will use their 9-digit Marquette University ID numbers. Alumni and other members of the Marquette community will use their unique 6-digit MU Voice code (printed above your name and address on the card enclosed in the MU Voice mailing recently sent to your home). You must keep your code. You will need to use it two times: once for this vote and again for the final vote that will begin on June 7.

After your code is accepted, you will have an opportunity to vote. You will be asked to select up to two nicknames from a list of options. One of your choices may be a write-in suggestion.
No word if Governor Doyle will intervene or if he will allow this outrageous disenfranchisement of elderly alumni to continue.
