President Donald Trump celebrated the law that is added to the State Constitution in Truth Social after the vote was called Tuesday night.
“The identification of voters has just approved in the Wisconsin elections. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can cheat. This is a great victory for Republicans, perhaps the greatest victory of the night. It should allow us to win Wisconsin, as I just did in the presidential elections, for many years!” The president wrote.

Nine states, including Wisconsin, require that voters present a photo identification, although Wisconsin’s requirements are the strictest, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. There are laws in 36 states that require or request that voters show some type of identification, said the NCSL.
