Wisconsin voters decide to enshrine statewide voter ID into state constitution

Wisconsin voters agreed to enshrine a statewide voter ID requirement into their constitution, following a referendum on the issue held Tuesday.

The Associated Press projected that Question 1 would pass, with 61% supporting the measure as of 10:05 p.m. Eastern, and 50% of precincts reporting. Opposition votes stood at 38%.

Alongside the referendum was a state Supreme Court race that saw major Republican figures weigh in to back conservative Brad Schimel, citing the implications of taking the court's majority in the key battleground state.

Wisconsin law already requires voter ID, though the referendum will cement it as part of the state constitution and present a key barrier for judges or lawmakers to overturn it.
