Was it in effect during the last election?
WISCONSIN: [earlier]

“Late Thursday, October 9, 2014, the United States Supreme Court issued an order blocking implementation of Wisconsin’s voter photo ID law for the November 4, 2014 General Election.
The case has been appealed to the Supreme Court, and the order will remain in effect until the Supreme Court issues a further order.
Any information on this website stating that voter photo ID is in effect should be disregarded.”
The U.S. Supreme Court said TEXAS should continue to use their Voter ID for the 2014 election, to disregard the last minute ruling by a lower court judge in TX to block it (now it has to be address by the Supreme Court) - The WI ruling would signal that the challenge to the TX Voter ID will also be turned away by the Supreme Court.

....”Good news: #SCOTUS decision allows Texas to enforce Voter ID law in the November election and protect the integrity of the ballot,” the Republican wrote on Facebook.
While Texas’ voter ID law has already been implemented in three elections since last year, Ginsburg described them as “low-participation elections” and argued that it was in the court’s interest to prevent voter ID from being enforced in the state’s “first federal general election” since Gov. Rick Perry signed the law....
....The decision from the nation’s highest court comes less than two weeks after a U.S. district judge in Corpus Christi ruled that the law “constitutes an unconstitutional poll tax” and “has an impermissible discriminatory effect against Hispanics and African-Americans, and was imposed with an unconstitutional discriminatory purpose.”......”
No. We had it in effect for ONE municipal election back in 2011, I think. Worked beautifully. League of Women Voters and a Hispanic organization challenged the law, and it has been tied up in court ever since.
