threw in the towel and ended the Wisconsin taxpayer-paid, government-directed, partisan-inspired opposition to…voting!
So get the ID that is still required, and when early voting begins in your town, vote.
Two liberal groups, One Wisconsin Institute and Citizen Action of Wisconsin Education Fund, sued over those limits and a host of other election laws last year.

Schimel tried to block the ruling, but the appeals panel let it stand for now.
