In a significant move, Wisconsin voters have approved a constitutional amendment that permanently enshrines the requirement for a photo ID to vote. The rule, which has been in effect since 2011, is now a permanent part of the state constitution, making it harder for future lawmakers to overturn. While Republicans argue the measure ensures election integrity, opponents, including groups like the ACLU, contend it burdens marginalised voters. Despite the opposition, the Republican-controlled Legislature pushed the amendment forward, framing it as a way to safeguard election security. For voters, the change is minimal, as they will continue presenting valid photo IDs as required since 2016. Wisconsin's photo ID law remains one of the strictest in the US. US President Donald Trump Has Dubbed April 2 ‘Liberation Day’ for Tariffs, Here’s What To Expect.
