It’s been a long, costly court battle, but Wisconsin’s attorney general says the fight over Voter ID is over — despite attempts by opponents to find a different legal appeal.
Last week the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear a challenge to the law requiring Wisconsin voters to show a photo ID.
Backers of the law say it’s a commonsense bill that makes it easy to vote and hard to cheat. Opponents are still fighting for the estimated 300,000 voters they say can’t easily get a state ID.
Sunday on “Upfront with Mike Gousha,” Attorney General Brad Schimel said challenges to the law are a moot point.
“The Supreme Court doesn’t make decisions with the intentions of leaving all sorts of loopholes and opportunities to challenge their decision. This has been looked at carefully. If there were arguments that these groups had to make, they should have made them when the case went up the first time,” Schimel said.
