Van Hollen calls for action on voter ID
Wisconsin's attorney general is calling for action on the state's voter ID law. It's been tied up in the court system for 
months.
Critics of the photo ID requirement argue there's little evidence of voter fraud in the state, and the law would have little impact other than to disenfranchise voters. Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen believes there are cases of fraud out there, but they're difficult to prove without the photo ID requirement.
Van Hollen says it's unfortunate the law is still in the hands of an appellate court, almost nine months after Dane County judges blocked it.
Van Hollen says he's disappointed the state Supreme Court rejected multiple requests to take up the case directly.
