51% : Trump celebrated the measure's approval on the Truth Social platform on Tuesday, calling it a "big win for Republicans," as he noted that Democrats had pushed back against it.
51% : State Rep. Joel Kitchens (R-1st District) told the Assembly in January that "voter ID keeps both sides honest."
31% : State Rep. Amanda Nedweski (R-District 61) demonstrated that if voter photo ID was designed to suppress voting, it is doing a terrible job because voter turnout in the 2024 general election was the highest in Wisconsin history.
19% : Trump narrowly lost Wisconsin to Joe Biden in the 2020 general election but defeated Kamala Harris in the election last November to claim its 10 electoral votes.
