Appeals court denies request to lift injunction in one voter ID suit
The 2nd District Court of Appeals today declined the state's request to lift a temporary injunction holding up enforcement of the state's voter ID law. The court noted the lawsuit before Dane County Judge David Flanagan, who issued the temporary injunction, has gone to trial, and a final decision in the suit is spending. "Given this procedural posture, we decline to grant the petitioners' petition for leave to appeal and motion to stay," the court wrote. The suit is one of two that resulted in Dane County judges issuing injunctions barring enforcement of the law. Read the ruling: http://wispolitics.com/1006/120425_Appeals_Court.pdf
