MADISON, Wis. (WRN) — As expected, the state Senate’s first floor session on Wednesday approved a measure that would protect Wisconsin’s Voter ID law through an amendment to the state Constitution.
Racine Republican Van Wanggaard authored the language.
“I want to state this as clear as I can, and you don’t have to like it, but this amendment is here today because I am unwilling to let this basic election integrity measure be overturned by the Wisconsin Supreme Court,” Wanggaard said.
Senators voted along party lines to approve the resolution which will go before voters in April following expected passage in the Assembly next week. Democrats argued the chamber should have taken up more pressing issues.
This is the measure’s second pass through the Legislature, which is required for any amendment to the constitution.
