. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/c9ulske . .Madison - A pair of appeals court rulings this week make clear the state's new voter ID law will remain suspended through the May and June recall elections.
.One of the opinions, released Thursday, said there was "no realistic possibility" the case would be decided before the June 5 recall election against Gov. Scott Walker and some of his fellow Republicans.
.Walker and Republicans in the Legislature last year approved a new law requiring voters to show photo ID at the polls, but Dane County Circuit Judge David Flanagan issued an order temporarily blocking the requirement in a case brought by the Milwaukee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera.
.A week later, Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess permanently blocked the photo ID law because he said it violates the state constitution. That case was brought by the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.
.The state Department of Justice appealed both decisions, asking the District 2 Court of Appeals in Waukesha to review the NAACP case and the District 4 Court of Appeals in Madison to review the League of Women Voters case.
.The courts of appeals said the state Supreme Court should take up the cases immediately, without the courts of appeals ruling on them. But this month the Supreme Court declined to take the cases, sending them back to the courts of appeals.
.By then, the trial in the NAACP case was under way. On Wednesday, the District 2 Court of Appeals decided it would not take up the case because a final decision from the trial court is expected soon.
.Flanagan is expected to rule after final briefs are filed in the case in mid-June - after the recall elections. Either side can appeal his final order, and the appeals court will have to take the case at that stage.
