In a major ruling today, the U.S. Supreme Court, in upholding a law in Indiana, ruled that states may enact photo ID requirements for voting.
The court’s 6-3 ruling says states can require a photo ID without violating the constitutional rights of voters.
The legislative session that concluded in Wisconsin in mid-March ended with state Senate Democrats failing to schedule a Senate vote on a constitutional amendment that would have required a photo ID. Had the Senate voted and approved the amendment that I co-sponsored, it surely would have passed overwhelmingly in a statewide referendum.
