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.
