Wisconsin voters have overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to enshrine the state’s voter ID requirement.

The amendment passed with approximately 70% support, reflecting a broad consensus among Wisconsinites on the importance of safeguarding elections.

Currently, Wisconsin requires voter photo identification via state law. By adding it to the state constitution, the threshold to make changes or remove the requirement would be higher than a legislative majority by requiring voter approval of another constitutional amendment to do so. State law requires the following forms of photo identification to vote:

  • Wisconsin driver’s license,
  • ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service,
  • Wisconsin nondriver ID,
  • U.S. passport,
  • Certificate of naturalization issued not more than two years before the election,
  • ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin,
  • Student ID card with a signature, an issue date, and an expiration date no later than two years after the election, or
  • Photo ID card provided by the Veteran’s Health Administration.
Well now, it would seem that the most important matter before WI voters was not the SC election.

Even 55% of WI dems supported it.

I would have voted for that law too. I'm fine with it.
 
every state I have lived in required an ID to vote for the last forty years.
 
The GOP lost the Supreme Court vote, and Elon was the reason why.
 
From what I read its passage keeps things the way they are presently.

From back in February this was written about the amendment:

Wisconsin already has a state statute that requires voters to present an acceptable photo ID in order to vote. By constitutionalizing this requirement, the amendment would, if approved, make it more difficult for a future legislature or court to change course on voter ID.

Which means that the dems were working to overturn it.....Now it makes it harder.....A huge win for fair elections in WI.
