Attorney Richard Saks successfully represented the Milwaukee Branch of the NAACP and the Milwaukee Teachers Education Association as intervenors in a challenge to Wisconsin Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen’s effort to compel the Wisconsin’s state elections board to check driver licenses and social security numbers against registration forms for hundreds of thousands of Wisconsin voters.
Van Hollen proposed the Help America Vote Act (HAVA) checks on the eve of the historic 2008 Presidential election and would have disenfranchised scores of thousands of predominantly minority and low-income voters. Read the decision of Dane County Circuit Judge Maryann Sumi.
