Here is our statement in response to today’s news about the Circuit Court injunction against Wisconsin’s Voter ID law:
The ACLU of Wisconsin is pleased that Judge Flanagan has recognized that the burdens the photo-ID law imposes on thousands of voters likely violates the Wisconsin Constitution, as the NAACP and Voces de la Frontera have shown.
The ACLU will continue with its separate case on behalf of numerous Wisconsin voters who will be harmed by the photo ID law. The ACLU lawsuit claims that the photo-ID law violates the United States Constitution and the federal Voting Rights Act.
Our organization is scheduled to have a conference meeting with a judge regarding the status of our lawsuit tomorrow. For breaking news about the ACLU’s federal voter ID lawsuit, please follow us on Twitter @ACLUofWisconsin.
