Ex-U.S. Rep. Walsh in DeKalb says, ‘It should be tough to vote’

DeKALB – Conservative firebrand and former U.S. Rep. Joe Walsh spoke on a number of topics at a DeKalb County Illinois Tea Party event Saturday at the DeKalb Elks Lodge.

Walsh touched on photo identification for voters, federal and state debt, the Second Amendment and civil disobedience. He also took questions from an audience of about 40 people.

Walsh, who was elected to the 8th Congressional District seat in 2010, was unseated by Democratic challenger Tammy Duckworth in November in the redrawn 8th District.
