ACLU Seeks Supreme Court Review in Wisconsin Voter ID Case

WASHINGTON –(ENEWSPF)–January 8, 2015.   The American Civil Liberties Union yesterday filed a petition asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review a federal appeals court ruling upholding Wisconsin’s voter ID law. The ACLU is challenging the law, which a federal judge struck down as unconstitutional and in violation of the Voting Rights Act last April. The Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that decision, but in October the Supreme Court placed the law on hold as the case winds its way through the courts.
