Even so, challengers decided on Monday to start a new court case, to try to head off enforcement of the law in future elections. -Lyle

So the long battle in wisconsin will continue. I guess the new case isn't filed yet.
The supreme court turned down Frank's appeal of the WI voter ID statute, with no dissent to denial of cert. we may never know how that conference went. there seem to be 4 votes against voter ID, three in support, and two on the fence. maybe those two aren't on the fence. it's hard to know. Hasen thinks the Texas case is better suited as a vehicle. I liked the facts in Frank, and the findings by the courts below. One wrinkle was that the WI supreme court made important changes to the statute, which changed the game. The court could have GVR'd and sent it back to the trial court for re-consideration in light of the state ruling, but didn't.
I will have an upcoming post on how I might have singlehandedly lost Crawford v Rokita, because of a sentence I left out of a motion to file an amicus brief, when that case was at the en banc rehearing stage around 2007.
