Wisconsin voter ID law blocked by US supreme court weeks before elections

Quoted: Political science professor Katherine J Cramer of the University of Wisconsin-Madison said she was surprised by the supreme court?s decision in the Wisconsin case. It could have national implications, she said, given that Wisconsin is not the only state to have implemented voter ID laws. ?If we can step back from the fact that voter ID legislation disadvantages voters, it?s an important statement about how we think about democracy,? Cramer said.
