well that was quick. 7th circuit, i mean 7th circuit panel, ok's voter ID in WI, lifts stay as of now.
Hasen makes the point that this could actually turn out well. Plaintiffs can move, a la Purcell, for relief from the Supreme Court, which could act. This in turn might increase the chances that the Supreme Court will at some point hear the merits. I think we might get a closer decision next time, what with changes on the court, and WI has a pretty good set of facts.
Hasen's main point is a remedies issue - it's too close to the election to change the rules now; it'll be disruptive.
Last I checked the audio wasn't up yet. here it is:
