FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MILWAUKEE, Wis. – Wisconsin state officials today appealed the April 29 federal court ruling that struck down the state's voter ID law as unconstitutional and in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (VRA). The ACLU had challenged the law on behalf of numerous Wisconsin voters, charging the measure violated the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause and the VRA. The ACLU argued the case at trial in November.
