From Bloomberg News:
Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen said he will ask the state’s Supreme Court to reinstate a voter identification law before the Nov. 6 state and national elections.
The law, which requires otherwise-eligible voters to present a government-issued photo ID before being allowed to cast a ballot, was declared unconstitutional by Dane County Circuit Judge Richard G. Niess in Madison on March 12. A second Madison judge, David T. Flanagan, ruled the law invalid on July 17 after a bench trial.
