Wisconsin Judge Rules Voter ID Law Unconstitutional, Issues Temporary Injunction

Cristina Francisco-McGuire on March 8, 2012 - 5:08pm

The order bars Governor Scott Walker and the Government Accountability Board from enforcing or implementing the law until a second trial in mid-April can be held to consider a permanent injunction.
