Via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel 
<http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/wisconsin-appeals-court-rules-state-voter-photo-id-law-constitutional-b9922473z1-209502451.html> 
comes this ruling of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals 
<http://www.wicourts.gov/ca/opinion/DisplayDocument.html?content=html&seqNo=97504>.

This is far from the end of the line. This case can be appealed to the 
state Supreme Court; there is also a separate case (as the Court of 
Appeals acknowledges) raising separate issues. Further, the Court of 
Appeals leaves open the possibility of an additional challenge based 
upon some factfinding of the burdens of the Wisconsin law in a new case.

Nonetheless, as I write in this forthcoming piece in the GW Law Review 
2012 election law symposium,I expect 
<http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2182857>that both 
the Wisconsin and Pennsylvania voter id laws will likely be in place for 
the 2014 and 2016 elections.
