The Supreme Court on Monday turned down a challenge to Wisconsin’s voter ID law, which it had previously kept from going into effect before November’s elections.
The court’s decision not to review a federal appeals court ruling that upheld the law was a victory for Gov. Scott Walker (R) and perhaps other states that have tightened voting procedures to require additional identification.

More on Wisconsin’s Voter ID upheld by SCOTUS.
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
So, with this case, and the previous case a few years ago, in which the Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s voter ID law, can we now put this issue to bed? Can we now say that voter ID laws are legal and constitutional, that there’s no violation of civil rights to require an ID to vote?
No case is ever settled where the liberals lose.
Graeme Zielinski is going to go nuts on Twitter today over this.
Exactly!
When they win they quickly shout The People have spoken! yet, when they lose they say this is not over
Disgusting, vile POS.
The Left’s challenge to Texas’ Voter ID law should be the next one dropped.
But the Left will happily use Voter ID to pronounce that Republicans want to block minority Americans from voting.
Lie - It’s what the Left does.
I can’t keep up anymore.
And the news doesn’t clarify it one bit!
YES!
A quick glance at a voter ID solves all of that in an instant rather than asking them to spell it to help find it in our sign-in of registered voters. A lot of our voters pull out the ID anyway and offer it just to speed up the process.
Voter ID is back on in WI.
They do the same thing in a political debate.
When their views are in the minority, they are champions of "free speech" and the right to "speak truth to power."
When they get into a majority, all of a sudden debate becomes "hate speech" or "denial of settled science." They start looking for ways to use the law to shut it down.
Of course, in the case of debate and free speech, they think that being in the majority is the same as holding a majority of media outlets. The fact that a majority of citizens don't agree is of no importance.
Was it in effect during the last election?
All they have to do is follow the Indiana law Time to stop the challenges!
you are doing God’s work.
That damn Scott Walker and his RINO policies!!!!
As expected.
Just read saul alinsky's rules for radicals and you will see why this is a never ending WAR.
liberals are more dangerous than "radical islamic terrorists", because they are already here and in power...gummint, schools, law, media, entertainment, etc.
The mooselimbs only want to kill us, the liberals want to control our minds.
WISCONSIN: [earlier]

“Late Thursday, October 9, 2014, the United States Supreme Court issued an order blocking implementation of Wisconsin’s voter photo ID law for the November 4, 2014 General Election.
The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court, and the order will remain in effect until the Supreme Court issues a further order.
Any information on this website stating that voter photo ID is in effect should be disregarded.”
The U.S. Supreme Court said TEXAS should continue to use their Voter ID for the 2014 election, to disregard the last minute ruling by a lower court judge in TX to block it (now it has to be address by the Supreme Court) - The WI ruling would signal that the challenge to the TX Voter ID will also be turned away by the Supreme Court.

....”Good news: #SCOTUS decision allows Texas to enforce Voter ID law in the November election and protect the integrity of the ballot,” the Republican wrote on Facebook.
While Texas’ voter ID law has already been implemented in three elections since last year, Ginsburg described them as “low-participation elections” and argued that it was in the court’s interest to prevent voter ID from being enforced in the state’s “first federal general election” since Gov. Rick Perry signed the law....
....The decision from the nation’s highest court comes less than two weeks after a U.S. district judge in Corpus Christi ruled that the law “constitutes an unconstitutional poll tax” and “has an impermissible discriminatory effect against Hispanics and African-Americans, and was imposed with an unconstitutional discriminatory purpose.”......”
