VOTE ‘NO’

Another Constitutional Amendment

If there's an election coming up you can be sure the GOP is busy concocting awful amendments designed to restrict our democracy.  Sure enough, this April’s ballot will feature another constitutional amendment with the intent of enshrining barriers to voting into the Wisconsin Constitution.

Voter ID is already the Law in Wisconsin. In fact, it is one of the strictest in the entire USA. Enshrining it in the Constitution will make it very difficult to make changes or improvements. When the Republican controlled legislature can’t pass a bipartisan bill they bypass the governor via a Constitutional Amendment proposal.

Just Vote NO!

THE QUESTION:

Section 1m (1) No qualified elector may cast a ballot in any election unless the elector presents valid photographic identification that verifies the elector’s identity and that is issued by this state, the federal government, a federally recognized American Indian tribe or band in this state, or a college or university in this state. The legislature shall by law establish acceptable forms of photographic identification, and the legislature may by law establish exceptions to the requirement under this subsection.

(2) A qualified elector who is unable to present valid photographic identification on election day shall be permitted to cast a provisional ballot. A provisional ballot may not be counted unless the elector presents valid photographic identification at a later time and place as provided by the legislature by law.[5]
