Wisconsin voters massively turned out for the April 1 election to support enshrining voter ID into the state constitution.
According to local WISN 12 News, over 60 percent of voters approved the measure to secure elections on a constitutional level. The previous voter ID law was implemented in 2011 and made permanent in 2016. Now that it has been enshrined into the state constitution, it can no longer receive legal challenges.
This victory comes after a ballot shortage was experienced at seven polling locations due to a “historic turnout,” via WISN 12 News.
Conservative voter activist Scott Prestler spent weeks in the dairy state knocking on doors and engaging audiences at speaking events. He visited multiple areas from Waunkee to Green Bay and beyond, urging residents to vote en masse.
Wisconsin’s Washington County Clerk Ashley Reichert posted to X, estimating a 70 percent turnout. She listed previous April turnouts for comparison. These ranged between 25 percent in 2021 to 50 percent in 2023.
