Impact of U.S. Supreme Court decision not to hear WI voter ID case

WASHINGTON D.C. - The U.S. Supreme Court announced Monday it would not hear a case challenging Wisconsin's voter ID law, dealing a blow to opponents who see the law as restricting voting rights.

The law requires a voter to show an identification card to prove who they are to vote in an election. However, you won't need an ID to vote in the spring elections this April.

Absentee ballots for the upcoming election would have been an issue for election workers like Lincoln County Clerk Christopher Marlowe. Many had already been sent out to voters without any type of ID needed.
