<p>President Donald Trump said Republicans should have the upper hand in Wisconsin &#8220;for years to come&#8221; after the state voted on Tuesday to enshrine voter ID requirements in its constitution.</p>
<p>More than 60% of voters <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/04/01/us/elections/results-wisconsin-question.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">approved</a> the constitutional amendment, which will make it more difficult to roll back voter ID requirements. While Wisconsin state law has required voter ID since 2011, Republicans who pushed for the constitutional amendment argued that it was necessary to prevent Democrats or the liberal state Supreme Court from undoing the law in the future.</p>
<p>Trump took to Truth Social Tuesday night to celebrate the approval of voter ID requirements in the swing state, saying that it was possibly the &#8220;biggest win of the night&#8221; for Republicans, a party that also cruised to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/republicans-sweep-in-florida-special-elections-congratulations-to-america?topStoryPosition=undefined" target="_blank" rel="noopener">victories</a> in two special elections in Florida to hold onto U.S. House seats.</p>
<p>&#8220;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,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114265988202750791" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>. &#8220;IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!&#8221;</p>
<p>After Joe Biden won the presidency in 2020, Trump and Republicans pushed for voter ID laws across the country, arguing that states that lack such laws make elections susceptible to widespread fraud. Voter ID laws are also extremely popular among Americans. A <a href="https://news.gallup.com/poll/652523/americans-endorse-early-voting-voter-verification.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gallup poll</a> from October showed that 84% of those surveyed approve of photo identification being required at polling places, compared to just 15% who said they are opposed.</p>
<p>Illegal immigration has been another issue driving the push for voter identification as unlawfully present migrants have been found on state voter rolls and, in some cases, have been <a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/19-foreign-nationals-indicted-illegally-voting-2016-elections" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicted</a> for voting in elections. Despite the high support for voter verification laws, Democrats have largely opposed such efforts, arguing that they disenfranchise voters and decrease participation in elections.</p>
<p>The Wisconsin voter ID amendment passed overwhelmingly as voters also chose to elect a leftist to the state&#8217;s Supreme Court. Judge Susan Crawford won the election over conservative candidate Brad Schimel, who was endorsed by Trump and supported by more than <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/us/elon-musk-wisconsin-supreme-court.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$20 million</a> from Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and allied groups. During a rally for Schimel on Sunday, Musk said that the “entire destiny of humanity” could be impacted by the Wisconsin Supreme Court race as it could help Democrats gain House seats in the Midwest state.</p>
<p>While he spent time and energy trying to push Schimel over the line, Musk <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1905789301557715397" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> last week that the voter ID amendment is &#8220;even more important than the Wisconsin Supreme Court race.&#8221; Early Wednesday morning, Musk celebrated the passage of the voter ID amendment, <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1907300849199546454" target="_blank" rel="noopener">writing</a>, &#8220;This was the most important thing.&#8221;</p>
