President Donald Trump is celebrating a major victory in the battle for election integrity after Wisconsin voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment to require voter ID at the ballot box. The measure, known as Question 1, cruised to passage on Tuesday night with nearly 63% of the vote — a result Trump immediately called a “BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS.”

“Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT. IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!”

The amendment modifies the state’s constitution to mandate that voters present valid photographic identification in all future elections. Wisconsin already had a voter ID law in place, passed in 2011 and upheld after years of legal challenges. But enshrining it in the state constitution ensures it can’t be easily repealed by activist judges or a hostile legislature — a real concern in a state with a liberal-leaning Supreme Court.

The exact language asked voters whether Section 1m of Article III should be added “to require that voters present valid photographic identification verifying their identity in order to vote in any election, subject to exceptions which may be established by law.”

By 10:45 p.m. ET Tuesday, with 77% of precincts reporting, the measure had passed with 62.6% of the vote — a commanding margin in a battleground state.

The result lands just hours after Trump-backed Supreme Court candidate Brad Schimel was defeated by left-wing judge Susan Crawford, preserving a 4–3 liberal majority on Wisconsin’s high court. Crawford once called the state’s voter ID law “draconian” and served as a lead attorney challenging it in court. Her win was seen as a setback for conservatives — but the voter ID amendment’s landslide passage may prove far more consequential in the long run.

Despite cries of “racism” and “voter suppression” from the usual Democrat playbook, public opinion consistently shows strong support for voter ID across demographics. A 2023 Rasmussen poll found that 78% of likely U.S. voters supported requiring photo ID to vote — including majorities of Black, Hispanic, and Democrat voters.

By locking voter ID into the state’s founding document, Wisconsin voters have thrown a wrench into future efforts to weaken election laws. Critics of the amendment had hoped a left-leaning court could eventually strike down the existing statute. That’s no longer possible.

Trump’s team sees the amendment as a critical piece of the puzzle for holding Wisconsin in 2028 — a state he narrowly flipped red in both 2016 and 2024. In fact, Trump has grown his support in the state each time he’s appeared on the presidential ballot. If Democrats were counting on relaxing voting safeguards to tip Wisconsin blue again, that path just got shut down.

While the national media downplayed the amendment, conservative leaders are calling it a watershed moment for election security — especially as blue states continue to expand mail-in voting, same-day registration, and ballot harvesting with little oversight.

As Trump continues to fight legal battles and media smears in an effort to finish what he started, securing voter integrity remains at the heart of his second-term vision. Tuesday night’s result in Wisconsin? Proof that the voters are right there with him.
