State Supreme Court Set to Hear Arguments in Voter ID Lawsuit

Another court battle begins Tuesday over Wisconsin’s Voter ID law. The state Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin initiated.

Gov. Walker signed the bill in May of 2011. It went into effect the following spring, but courts have blocked it, ever since.

The League of Women Voters was among the first to challenge the requirement that all voters present a government-issued photo ID. Executive Director Andrea Kaminski insists the mandate is unconstitutional.
