Some good news out of Wisconsin.

Wisconsin voters approve referendum question, voter ID law now part of state constitution

By: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, April 1, 2025;

Wisconsin’s decade-old requirement that voters show a photo ID is now permanently part of the state constitution after voters approved the referendum question at the bottom of the April 1 ballot.

With only 5% of the vote total recorded and about 20 minutes after polls closed at 8 p.m., Decision Desk HQ projected the referendum question passed, about 70% to 30%.

Republicans placed the question on the ballot in hopes of protecting the law from being overturned by a liberal-controlled state Supreme Court. While the court does not currently have a case challenging voter ID, it will now be much harder for justices to declare the law unconstitutional in the future.

Raising the law to the constitution also makes it difficult for Democrats to get rid of voter ID if they eventually gain a majority in the Legislature. They’d have to go through the amendment process again to take it back out of the constitution — passing the change two sessions in a row, then putting it to voters.
