As the Seventh Circuit hears arguments this morning in the voter id case, AP reports:  “Wisconsin officials said Wednesday they’ve set up a free process to verify birth information for people looking for state identification cards to vote but who lack birth certificates.”

LWV:

Finally, anyone who would suggest implementing voter ID at this late date before an election must have it out for election officials and voters alike. Implementation would affect absentee voting, and municipal clerks are already preparing to send out absentee ballots. They would have to amend the instructions and establish new procedures for processing the ballots. They do not have time in these busy final
weeks to retrain their poll workers and educate voters.

The announcement of new procedures for obtaining an ID — which is unneeded under the injunction –shows that the true intent of this law is not to improve elections but rather to cause confusion and discourage people from voting.
