Voter ID in Wisconsin: What to know about Wisconsin's April 1 referendum

Voters across Wisconsin will decide during the April 1 election whether to add a voter identification requirement to the state’s Constitution.

Under a 2011 state law, Wisconsin voters already have to present an acceptable form of photo ID.

But, if it’s approved by a majority of voters this spring, a constitutional provision would help cement that requirement, and protect it against future legal challenges.

The ballot question asks voters whether they want to amend the Wisconsin Constitution to mandate that voters “present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote in any election, subject to exceptions which may be established by law?”

It's already state law. This is another R-MAGA ratfucking attempt at making it harder for people to vote--suppression--as well as their ploy to increase the number of R voters to a spring election. I think it's the fourth such R referendum, all of which are wholly unnecessary, as their subjects are already state law. They just want to harden their grasp on power.
Vote NO.
