Status of Wisconsin Voter ID Lawsuits

Vol. 93, No. 2 November 2013
LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF WISCONSIN EDUCATION NETWORK, INC.
Status of Wisconsin Voter ID Lawsuits
The distinguished federal Appeals Court
judge who wrote an opinion upholding
Indiana’s voter ID law recently said the
court was wrong in upholding “a type
of law now widely regarded as a means
of voter suppression rather than of fraud
prevention.”
This is significant in Wisconsin as three
of the four lawsuits challenging our state’s
voter ID law go to trial in November. The
law has been blocked by the courts since
March 2012.
Two of the lawsuits are in state court. The
League of Women Voters’ challenge claims
the state legislature violated the state
constitution when it enacted a law that
added a new qualification for voting—
something that can only be done with a
constitutional amendment.
A separate lawsuit filed in state court
by the Milwaukee Chapter of NAACP
and Voces de la Frontera claims the
law violates the state constitution by
imposing unreasonable burdens which are
tantamount to a denial of the right to vote
for some people. They cite the estimated
300,000 currently registered voters in our
state who do not possess an acceptable
ID.
Both of these challenges had victories in
Circuit Court in 2012, resulting in two
separate injunctions on the voter ID law.
A Wisconsin Appeals Court (District IV)
in May reversed the League’s injunction,
and the League is seeking a review of
that ruling by the state Supreme Court.
A separate Appeals Court (District II)
has scheduled oral arguments for the
NAACP/Voces case in December.
There are also two federal lawsuits.
One was filed by a national group
called The Advancement Project and
the other by the ACLU of Wisconsin
and the National Law Center on
Homelessness & Poverty on behalf of
25 Wisconsin voters. These are the first
challenges to a voter ID law nationally
to go to trial that are based on Section 2
of the Voting Rights Act. Section 2 has
taken on heightened significance since the
U.S. Supreme Court in June struck down
other key parts of the law. The ACLU
lawsuit also claims the Wisconsin ID law
violates the U.S. Constitution. Both of
these federal cases were assigned to Judge
Lynn Adelman, who held a trial earlier
this month. It is not known when Judge
Adelman will issue a ruling. v

News from National
Money and Influence in
American Politics Take Center
Stage at U.S. Supreme Court
Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral
arguments in McCutcheon v. Federal Election
Commission (FEC), a case many have dubbed
“the next Citizens United.” If McCutcheon wins
this case, donors will be able to give more than
$3 million to federal candidates, political
committees and parties. Currently, the aggregate
total of such gifts is capped at $123,200. The
League has joined an amicus brief in this case.
“The importance of the result in this case cannot
be overstated,” said Elisabeth MacNamara,
LWVUS President. “While McCutcheon deals
with a technical and arcane matter of campaign
finance law, it boils down to more money, more
influence.”
Elisabeth MacNamara,
LWVUS President
Chief Justice Roberts will likely be the key vote
in McCutcheon. Previously he has allowed contribution limits both on gifts to
candidates and to political parties. Justice Roberts would likely have to reverse himself
to block the aggregate limit and rule for McCutcheon. He would also likely have
to reverse the long-standing precedent of Buckley v. Valeo that upheld contribution
limits.
“Absent an aggregate limit, individual donors would essentially be allowed to donate
millions of dollars to candidates and political parties and corrupt our political
system,” MacNamara pointed out. “Abolishing aggregate limits would also allow the
party and PAC systems to become a funnel for candidates across the country and
circumvent the other existing limits. Given the state of our political system right now,
there is no need to increase the corrupting role of big money in elections.” v

Investing in
League, Investing
in Democracy
The League’s role as a strong, efficient
and effective advocate comes at some
cost and we rely on diverse sources
of revenue to sustain this role. One
recent example is a gift from the estate
of Evie Klug, a longtime member of
LWV Ozaukee County. Evie and her
husband Bob, also a League member,
were active participants in their
community through the League and
other organizations. We are grateful
that they chose to continue their legacy
with League with a very generous
contribution.
Unrestricted gifts such as the one from
the Klugs allow us to invest in League
and make us better. The State Board
will use the Klugs’ funds to purchase
new technology to improve our
outreach, office efficiency and program
delivery, all of which will directly
enhance the League’s voter service and
advocacy.
For example, the State Board has
decided to provide Vote411 software at
no cost to all local Leagues for use in
local and state elections in 2014. The
LWVUS software allows Leagues to
create an online “Candidates’ Answers”
voter guide. Candidates receive a login
name and password to enter their own
information. The posting is not made
public until vetted by the League.
The software will be set up for local
and state elections, and LWVUS has
templates to help Leagues create a
printed document. We are working
with LWVUS to get our local Leagues
Revenue Sources:
Membership dues
Unrestricted contributions
Contributions for voter ID lawsuit

Total
trained and ready to go for the spring
elections.
Estate gifts are just one type of revenue
for the League as shown in the chart
below, which breaks out our funding
for the fiscal year that ended on June
30. You can see that in order to keep
dues affordable, we need to raise money
from other sources. To be prepared
to act when there is an assault on
democracy, such as the voter ID law,
we need a strong infrastructure and the
ability to raise special funds. To be able
to seek and receive foundation grants,
we need a professional staff and a visible
presence in state government.
I challenge anyone to find a more sound
investment than the one you make of
your time and money as a member
of the League of Women Voters of
Wisconsin. Because by investing in the
League, we invest in democracy. And
there is no greater return than sound
democratic principles under which all
are able to live, work and play. v

Executive Director’s Message

Andrea Kaminski
The League often
offers a window
into ways a group
of citizens with a
nonpartisan stance
can influence policy
for the better.
Delegations from
more politically
turbulent countries
seem increasingly
to look to LWVWI
as a model for
peaceful advocacy.
Some of my favorite and most fulfilling work has been
hosting these guests, often with LWVWI President Melanie
Ramey, on behalf of the state League.
Local Leagues in our state also have hosted international
visitors. For example, in 2011 LWV Door County hosted
a group from Azerbaijan through the Library of Congress
Open World Leadership Program. The guests were
professionals representing businesses, NGOs or government
agencies. They came to Wisconsin to learn how to further
the democratic process in their country.
“The continuing exchange is so incredibly gratifying. It
makes our world seem smaller, when you see that people in
different countries are not so different. They are concerned
about how to be a good parent, a good CEO or a good
employee, the same as people anywhere,” McAninch said.
Last month McAninch traveled to Azerbaijan with Shirley
Senarighi, past-President of the Door County League, and
Shirley’s husband Rudy, as guests of Mr. Baymarov. The
highlight of the trip was an evening event where 22 readers
of the “Dear Susan” column gathered to meet McAninch
in person and ask her questions with the understanding
that “what is said here stays here”—opening the door to
safely discuss such topics as individual rights, workers’ rights
and women’s rights. The session ended with photos and
autographs—testament to McAninch’s popularity among her
readers!
None of this would have happened if LWV Door County
had not been willing to reach out, welcome and host a
delegation of international visitors. When we open the
window to the League’s work and invite others to share the
view, I believe we lay important groundwork for mutual
understanding. And we might just be surprised what our
view looks like through their eyes! v
Planning activities and obtaining approval to host the
Azerbaijan delegation for a week was a huge undertaking,
but the international exchange that started with that visit
continues to flourish through electronic communications,
professional connections and even a reciprocal visit to
Azerbaijan by League members.
“Who learns more? The visitors or the host?” asked Susan
McAninch, who was a recently retired psychotherapist when
she joined LWV Door County in 2011. She hosted a young
man named Anar Baymarov, whose brother publishes an
Azerbaijani business magazine called Monitor Consulting.
He kept in touch with McAninch after the visit, and in
September 2011 he invited her to apply her professional
skills to answering readers’ questions in the magazine’s advice
column. Two questions per month are translated into English
for McAninch, and her answers, which are based on western
psychology, are translated in turn into the Azeri language
for readers. Some questions are business-oriented and deal
with time management, professional relationships, workplace
problems and employee motivation, while others are
personal queries relating to anxiety, depression and parenting
concerns.

Keynotes Focus on Judicial Selection and Climate Health
Judicial selection and climate health are big concerns for
Wisconsin, and keynote speakers at Issues Briefing on October 5
offered fresh approaches to these matters. Joseph Troy, Chair of the
Wisconsin State Bar Judicial Task Force, presented a new proposal
for selection of state Supreme Court justices. Joel Charles, a fourthyear medical student who recently completed his Masters of Public
Health, discussed the health impacts of global climate change.
A new proposal for judicial selection
In a politically neutral and feasible plan to boost public confidence
in the independence of the state’s high court, Troy said it was
important that the State Bar task force represent a broad political
spectrum and begin by looking for where they could agree.
The proposal calls for state Supreme Court justices to be elected
to a single 16-year term. Midterm vacancies would continue to be
filled by appointment, and the appointed justice would then run
for election at the next open nonpartisan election. Once elected, a
justice’s only job would be to follow the rule of law, Troy said.
“They do not have to be politicians. Their decisions cannot be
attacked or distorted by allegations that they were motivated by
concerns to maintain favor with those who would support their
re-election,” he stressed.
The task force asserts that the plan would promote much-needed
collegiality on the court by eliminating the potential that justices
will publicly or privately oppose a colleague’s re-election.
“Accountability to political interests is the wrong kind of
accountability for judges. They should be accountable to the rule
of law,” Troy said.
Troy stressed that the task force is proposing a structural change
that has nothing to do with the current justices, who would be
allowed to stand for one more election if the plan is adopted.
Adoption would require an amendment to the state constitution,
which must first be passed by both houses of the state legislature
in two consecutive sessions and then be approved by a majority of
voters in a statewide referendum.
The state League of Women Voters has no position on selection
of Supreme Court justices, since delegates to its 2013 Annual
Meeting voted to drop a position favoring merit selection.
However, the League will likely play a significant role in educating
voters if the proposal makes it onto the ballot.
The climate crisis and American health
In his briefing, Charles described scenarios in which patients
present symptoms of heat stroke, cardiovascular disease, asthma,
Lyme disease and other infections, and he cited figures showing
that people are at greater risk of all of these health problems
because of climate change. For example, extreme heat waves in
recent years have put older individuals statewide at risk. Record
rainfalls have led to water system contamination in Milwaukee and
other communities in southeast Wisconsin, resulting in increased
incidents of—and deaths from—cryptosporidiosis.
Charles linked these problems to larger issues affecting our
healthcare and other social systems. On a global basis, crop
failures lead to mass migrations and a higher risk of tuberculosis,
malnourishment, infectious disease and civil unrest.
Increased civic engagement is key to preventing further climate
change, noted Charles. He invited audience members and the
League to join Citizens Climate Lobby, an organization with
a mission to “build the political will for a livable world and to
empower individuals to have breakthroughs in exercising their
personal and political power.” v
