EXCLUSIVE: This April, Wisconsin Voters Must Mandate Photo ID to Save Elections

By passing a photo ID amendment, Wisconsin voters can make their voter ID law permanent, shielding it from the left-wing Supreme Court

On January 14, the Wisconsin Assembly approved—without a single Democrat vote—a constitutional amendment requiring photo ID before voting. The photo ID requirement to vote is the most fundamental election protection after the secret ballot. If the Wisconsin Supreme Court maintains its liberal majority in the April 1 election, it will imperil that protection, which would open the state up to rampant electoral fraud and mistrust in elections.

The proposed amendment changes nothing about the current law, stating, “a qualified elector may not vote in any election unless the elector presents photographic identification issued by this state, by the federal government, by a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in this state, or by a college or university in this state, that verifies the elector’s identity.” If passed, voters will send a clear message to Madison and Washington that they demand secure elections, while also barring tyrannical liberal judges from striking down the state’s standing photo ID law.

“Most Wisconsinites think it’s common sense,” Liberty Initiative Fund (LIF) president Paul Jacob told Restoration News. Jacob worked on voter ID measures in Michigan and Maine in 2022 and recently helped pass citizen-only voting amendments in 8 states, including Wisconsin.

“A benefit Republicans have is that we just ran a campaign to pass the citizen-only voting amendment in November,” he added. “There’s no better way to solve this issue than to let the voters decide.”

Wisconsin voters passed that amendment—which prohibits non-citizens from casting a ballot in any election—last November by a stunning 70–30%, winning by more than 1.3 million votes. Before that, Wisconsin voters banned “Zuck bucks”—private funding for the offices that count their ballots—in April with Question 1, which passed 54–46%. Restoration News called it a “devastating blow” to progressive elites who meddled in the 2020 election.

Now the threat comes from Wisconsin’s hyper-politicized Supreme Court, which leftists captured in April 2023 with far-left Justice Janet Protasiewicz. Since then, the nominally non-partisan high court has shown a disturbing willingness to legislate from the bench, and always to the left. Democrats hold a 4–3 advantage on the Court, and the seat held by retiring liberal Justice Ann Walsh Bradley is up for election on the same ballot as the photo ID amendment.
