I have read the latest petition and some of the pleadings. Here is a link that has all of the filings (there is a lag of a day or so between the actual filing and going on the website) http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/OneWisconsin.v.Nichol.php The Second Amended Petition is well done http://moritzlaw.osu.edu/electionlaw/litigation/documents/SECONDAMENDEDCOMPLAINTagainstAllDefendants032516.pdf

This case goes to trial in May. It will be a fun case to watch as Marc is a great attorney. Unfortunately, there is a good chance that this Wisconsin voter id law will be in effect for the November election. The Texas voter id law was struck down a while back and 7 federal judges have ruled against the law but it is still in effect.
