For Voter ID Opponents, This Was a Stunning Blow

 

Voter-ID opponents have suffered another stunning blow.

On Friday, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals dissolved the injunction that had been issued against Wisconsin’s voter-ID law by a federal district court in April. The court told Wisconsin that it “may, if it wishes (and if it is appropriate under rules of state law), enforce the photo ID requirement in this November’s elections.” In reaction, Kevin Kennedy, the state’s top election official, said that Wisconsin would take all steps necessary “to fully implement the voter photo ID law for the November general election.” The appeals court issued its one-page opinion within hours of hearing oral arguments in the appeal.

  1. This just makes me angry. WI offers a free State Photo ID. Birth certificate ss card and proof of residence required. Anybody who oposses voter ID, just wants to manipulate and corrupt the voting process by having ineligable people voting. Im so damn sick of this corruption. This has to end.
