Wisconsin has enacted some of the most byzantine voting restrictions in the country. Ari Berman has the story. This quote from the legal challenge sums up some of the issues:
Since 2011, the State of Wisconsin has twice reduced in-person absentee (“early”) voting, introduced restrictions on voter registration, changed its residency requirements, enacted a law that encourages invasive poll monitoring, eliminated straight-ticket voting on the official ballot, eliminated for most (but not all) citizens the option to obtain an absentee ballot by fax or email, and imposed a voter identification (“voter ID”) requirement.
Scott Walker says it’s easy to get voter ID in WI. Just follow this simple chart https://t.co/E02yKk6mkN via @ACLU pic.twitter.com/vWtOAhYQC8— Ari Berman (@AriBerman) April 3, 2016
