老澳门开奖结果 Comment on Appeals Court Action in Wisconsin Voter ID Challenge
CHICAGO 鈥� The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit today declined to review a challenge to Wisconsin鈥檚 restrictive voter ID law at this time. The 老澳门开奖结果, which brought the case on behalf of Wisconsin voters, sought initial review from the entire court; the challenge will instead be heard by a three-judge panel.
Sean Young, senior staff attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, had this reaction:
鈥淐ourts nationwide have concluded that unnecessary and burdensome restrictions on voters are discriminatory and unconstitutional. We look forward to the day when the Seventh Circuit joins this consensus by striking down Wisconsin鈥檚 voter ID law.
鈥淭wo trial courts have found that, over the last five years, Wisconsin has utterly failed to get IDs into the hands of voters who need them. There鈥檚 no reason to believe that the state鈥檚 latest eleventh-hour 鈥榚mergency鈥� procedures will work any better than its past failed policies.鈥�
