In a significant decision, Wisconsin voters supported a ballot measure that adds a photo ID requirement to the state’s Constitution, with 63.1% in favor. This law, designed to ensure electoral integrity, aligns Wisconsin with other states that enforce similar voter ID laws. The amendment strengthens existing state legislation by making it harder for future legislatures to repeal. Supporters, including President Trump, hailed it as a major victory for Republicans, while opponents fear it could suppress voter participation. Acceptable IDs include state-issued, federal, and certain educational institution IDs, with provisions for provisional ballots.
"Wisconsin is one of nine states that require voters to show photo identification before being allowed to cast a ballot."
"Enshrining the law into the Constitution makes it much more difficult for state legislatures or the courts to undo it."
