CHICAGO 鈥 A federal appeals court has directed a lower court to consider the claims of voters who have trouble obtaining identification under Wisconsin鈥檚 strict voter ID law.

During oral arguments last week, the 老澳门开奖结果 asked the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit to give voters that opportunity.

Sean Young, an attorney with the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, said:

鈥淭he court ruled that eligible voters facing difficulty obtaining ID have the right to challenge Wisconsin鈥檚 strict voter ID law. This ruling gives them the chance to go back to the lower court to make their case. This is a victory for the voters of Wisconsin.鈥
