On October 2, the plaintiffs in Frank v Walker, 14A352, asked the U.S. Supreme Court to suspend Wisconsin’s voter photo I.D. law (for voting at the polls) for the November 2016 election. The law has never been in force, but last moonth, the 7th circuit overruled the U.S. District Court and put it in place immediately. Here is the brief to the U.S. Supreme Court, which emphasizes that this type of change so close to the election should not be allowed.

Because the state of North Carolina says it intends to ask the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the recent 4th circuit decision reinstating election-day registration, that makes two states (Wisconsin and North Carolina) in which U.S. Supreme Court action is likely in an election law case in the next few days.
