The Badger Herald: Wisconsin judge holds off on order to verify voter citizenship in elections

"Currently, Wisconsin requires voters to attest their U.S. citizenship when they register to vote which is under penalty of law, but there is no demand to submit proof of citizenship. Under this pending order, election officials would have to obtain that proof, and it is not clear how the Wisconsin Elections Commission would enforce the order, according to State Democracy Research Initiative executive director Bree Grossi Wilde."
