Wisconsin Appellate Court Rejects Challenge to Wisconsin Voter ID Law

Via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel comes this ruling of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals.

This is far from the end of the line. This case can be appealed to the state Supreme Court; there is also a separate case (as the Court of Appeals acknowledges) raising separate issues. Further, the Court of Appeals leaves open the possibility of an additional challenge based upon some factfinding of the burdens of the Wisconsin law in a new case.

Nonetheless, as I write in this forthcoming piece in the GW Law Review 2012 election law symposium, I expect that both the Wisconsin and Pennsylvania voter id laws will likely be in place for the 2014 and 2016 elections.
