WASHINGTON D.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday it refused to hear a case challenging Wisconsin's new voter ID law. The decision disappointed opponents of the proposal, who see it as a unconstitutional restriction on voting rights.
The law requires voters to provide proof of their identity when they show up to the polls on election day. However, the new law will not take effect until after the upcoming April 7 election.
Election officials, such as Lincoln County Clerk Christopher Marlowe, have already sent out many absentee ballots for that election, ballots that don't require the voter to provide any proof of identity.
