[EL] 7th Circuit lifts stay

[Rick Hasen]

You can read the orderhere 
<http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/7th-wi-order.pdf>. From 
the order:

    After the district court's decision, the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
    revised the procedures to make it easier for persons who have
    difficulty affording any fees to obtain the birth certificates or
    other documentation needed under the law, or to have the need for
    documentation waived. Milwaukee Branch of NAACP v. Walker, 2014 WI
    98 (July 31, 2014). This reduces the likelihood of irreparable
    injury, and it also changes the balance of equities and thus the
    propriety of federal injunctive relief. The panel has concluded that
    the state's probability of success on the merits of this appeal is
    sufficiently great that the state should be allowed to implement its
    law, pending further order of this court.
