voting rights

The Wisconsin Supreme Court has ruled that a Republican Party official lacked the standing to bring a lawsuit that challenges the use of a mobile voting van in 2022.

Wisconsin’s photo ID requirement for voting would be elevated from a state law to a constitutional amendment under a proposal up for approval in the Republican-controlled Assembly.

On Friday, March 12, 1920, the Rhinelander Woman’s Club gathered at the Teachers Training College in the old Oneida County Courthouse for a special “mock election.” This wasn’t just a simple exercise—it was the final exam for a citizenship class that aimed to prepare local women for their first opportunity to vote in a U.S. Presidential election.

Wisconsin law states a student ID can be used for voting, but only some schools issue state-compliant identification.

Absentee ballot drop boxes in the presidential battleground state of Wisconsin are available in a small fraction of the places they were four years ago, with many conservative communities opting not to offer them for the upcoming election.
