Wisconsin Voters Approve Constitutional Amendment for Voter ID

The amendment solidifies existing voter ID laws in the state constitution, making them harder to repeal or challenge in the future.

  • The voter ID amendment passed with 63% support, enshrining the state's existing voter ID law into the Wisconsin Constitution.
  • This measure ensures that photo identification is required for voting, with exceptions allowed as defined by law.
  • The amendment was championed by Republicans as an election integrity safeguard, while Democrats argued it could disenfranchise marginalized groups.
  • Wisconsin joins a growing number of states embedding voter ID requirements into their constitutions, reflecting broader national debates on election security.
  • The same election saw liberal candidate Susan Crawford win a state Supreme Court race, maintaining a 4-3 liberal majority on the court.
