One of multiple lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of the new law requiring a photo ID to vote will be heard after a ruling from Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess Monday.
The League of Women Voters is suing Gov. Scott Walker over claims the voter ID requirement disenfranchises certain groups.
Niess said the League is in a good position to argue on behalf of eligible voters who are “too physically infirm, mentally ill, impoverished, itinerant, elderly or simply neglectful to comply” to the law, according to the Wisconsin State Journal.
The voter ID law was passed last summer, but was first put into effect during the Feb. 21 spring primary elections.
