Well, that's a no brainer...

Ending same-day voter registration would cost $5.2 million, board finds

By Patrick Marley of the Journal Sentinel Updated: 1:00 p.m.

Madison - Ending election-day registration will cost the state $5.2 million or more initially, won't reduce the administrative work of clerks and will still allow some people to register at the polls because of a federal law.

Those details were included in a report sent to lawmakers Friday by the Government Accountability Board, which runs state elections.

Democrats said the report should prompt Republicans to rethink plans to end election-day registration, but one GOP senator said he'd like to see the law changed as early as next month.
