Courts Strike Down Voter ID Laws in Wisconsin and Texas

WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court on Thursday evening stopped officials in
Wisconsin from requiring voters there to provide photo identification
before casting their ballots in the coming election.
.
Three of the court's more conservative members dissented, saying they
would have allowed officials to require identification.
.
Around the same time, a federal trial court in Texas struck down that
state's ID law, saying it put a disproportionate burden on minority
voters.
.
The Wisconsin requirement, one of the strictest in the nation, is part of
a state law enacted in 2011 but mostly blocked by various courts in the
interim. A federal trial judge had blocked it, saying it would "deter or
prevent a substantial number of the 300,000-plus registered voters who
lack ID from voting" and would disproportionately affect black and
Hispanic voters.
.
The law was provisionally reinstated last month by a unanimous three-judge
panel of the federal appeals court in Chicago hours after it heard
arguments. The full court was deadlocked, five to five, on a request for a
new hearing.
.
"It is simply impossible, as a matter of common sense and of logistics,
that hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters will both learn about the
need for photo identification and obtain the requisite identification in
the next 36 days," the appeals court judges opposed to the requirement
wrote.
.
The three-judge panel upheld the law on Monday, reasoning that it was
similar to one from Indiana that the Supreme Court upheld in 2008.
.
The challengers to the Wisconsin law asked the Supreme Court to block the
voter identification requirement for now, saying it would "virtually
guarantee chaos at the polls." Whatever the legality, they said, the state
cannot issue enough IDs and train enough poll workers before the November
election.
.
The law requires absentee voters to submit identification. But forms sent
before the appeals court acted did not include that requirement. State
officials had said they would not count ballots returned without copies of
valid ID.
