What That Appeals Court Ruling on Voting Changed

A federal Appeals Court Monday weighed in on the voting landscape in Wisconsin late Monday, restricting early voting to two weeks prior to an election and requiring voters to be Wisconsin residents for at least 28 days to vote in an election. The unanimous decision by the three-member, 7th Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago comes four months before the November elections, after the case had been sitting on the docket since oral arguments were made in February of 2017. In Wisconsin, the notorious swing state that President Donald Trump won by 23,000 votes in 2016, the decision has been praised by Republicans and blasted by Democrats.
