BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Challenge to Wisconsin’s Voter ID Law

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker just won another victory. The voter ID rules he signed into law were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court today.

Walker’s law was challenged as unconstitutional but today the SCOTUS has rejected that challenge.

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday rejected a challenge to Wisconsin’s Republican-backed law requiring voters to present photo identification to cast a ballot, a measure Democrats contend is aimed at keeping their supporters from voting. The justices declined to hear an appeal filed by the American Civil Liberties Union, which challenged the law. The ACLU said it then filed an emergency motion with a federal appeals court to try to keep the law from taking effect immediately.

Liberals tried to challenge the law and a lower court judge put the law on hold pending the review.

Now the law is clear to be put into place.
