Constitutional amendments are in vogue right now in Wisconsin. A big reason why is because the liberal Supreme Court is finding as many ways as possible to undermine laws that were passed by the Legislature, signed by the Governor, and abide with the Constitution. Regardless, if they don’t like it, they will try to find a way to get rid of it.
One such policy is voter ID. 70-80% of Wisconsinites believe people should provide photo identification when voting. However, leftists (including Supreme Court justice candidate Susan Crawford) want to do away with any voter ID requirements.
The new constitutional amendment would take the current photo ID law and enshrine it into our state constitution. Thereby, making it nearly impossible for the liberal court to overturn.
Here is the text of the new amendment:
SECTION 1. Section 1m of article III of the constitution is created to read:
[Article III] Section 1m (1) “No qualified elector may cast a ballot in any election unless the elector presents valid photographic identification that verifies the elector’s identity and that is issued by this state, the federal government, a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in this state, or a college or university in this state. The legislature shall by law establish acceptable forms of photographic identification, and the legislature may by law establish exceptions to the requirement under this subsection.
(2) A qualified elector who is unable to present valid photographic identification on election day shall be permitted to cast a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot may not be counted unless the elector presents valid photographic identification at a later time and place as provided by the legislature by law.”
Transparent, secure, and reliable elections are a vital part of our representative Republic. In order to safeguard our government of the people, by the people, and for the people, we encourage support for this amendment.
