Judge grants temporarily injunction barring enforcement of voter ID law in April election
– MARCH 6, 2012
POSTED IN: MASS MEDIA, PRESS
Circuit Judge David Flanagan granted a temporary injunction on Tuesday that bars the enforcement of the state photo ID law at polling places during the general election on April 3.

The Dane County Judge said that the Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP and Voces de la Frontera had demonstrated that their lawsuit against Gov. Scott Walker and the state Government Accountability Board would probably succeed on its merits and had demonstrated the likelihood of irreparable harm if the photo ID law is allowed to stand.

Flanagan ordered Walker and the GAB to “cease immediately any effort to enforce or implement the photo identification requirements” of the law, pending a trial on a permanent injunction scheduled before him on April 16.

“If no injunction is issued, a clearly improper impairment of a most vital element of our society will occur,” Flanagan wrote. “The duty of the court is clear. The case has been made. Irreparable harm is likely to occur in the absence of an injunction.”
