GAB director hopes for post-Nov. voter ID ruling

Posted:

MADISON (WKOW) -- Wisconsin's elections chief says a state Supreme Court ruling on voter ID before November would not provide enough time to get ready for the change at the polls.

Kevin Kennedy, the Government Accountability Board director, says if the court were to reinstate the voter ID law, people might not have time to have the proper identification.

Kennedy also says the GAB would scramble to train poll workers on which IDs could be used to vote.

The state Supreme Court has not said whether they will take the cases.
