PULSE POINTS:

What Happened: More than 60 percent of Wisconsin voters approved a state constitutional amendment to enforce voter ID requirements, strengthening existing state election laws.

Who’s Involved: Wisconsin voters, President Donald J. Trump, Republicans, Democrats, Judge Susan Crawford, and Brad Schimel.

Where & When: Wisconsin’s Spring Election this past Tuesday.

Key Quote: Trump on Truth Social stated, “This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT.”

Impact: Strengthens the Republican position in Wisconsin, making it more challenging to alter voter ID laws through legal and legislative actions. Despite the win, a left-leaning judge was elected to the state Supreme Court, which could pave the way for other Democratic Party-backed changes to Wisconsin’s election laws.

IN FULL:

Wisconsin voters have decisively approved a constitutional amendment that strengthens state voter ID requirements, with over 60 percent in favor. This new amendment will fortify existing voter ID laws, which have been in place since 2011, from legal and legislative challenges.

President Donald J. Trump praised the amendment’s approval by Wisconsin voters, suggesting it secures a strategic advantage for Republicans in the state for the foreseeable future. “VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social late Tuesday night.

He added: “IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!”

Republicans in Wisconsin pushed for the constitutional amendment to protect the law from potential changes by a future Democratic government or the state’s Supreme Court. Tuesday’s election also saw far-left judge Susan Crawford defeat conservative candidate Brad Schimel in a race for an open seat on the state’s high court—placing further importance on the adoption of the voter ID amendment.

Voter ID laws remain almost universally popular among the broader American electorate. Notably, an October survey by Gallup found that 84 percent of voters support the election integrity measures. However, the Democratic Party—through lawfare and legislative action—continues to work against voter ID requirements, claiming such laws disenfranchise voters.
