MILWAUKEE – In response to the passing of the voter ID referendum in Wisconsin’s spring election, All Voting is Local Wisconsin State Director Sam Liebert released the following statement:
“Enshrining a voter ID mandate into the Wisconsin Constitution will guarantee the continued exclusion of many voters from the ballot box in future elections. Seniors, people of color, people with disabilities, and people from low-income households are among the Wisconsinites who have difficulties obtaining an active form of ID and will be effectively disenfranchised by this mandate.
“After Wisconsin’s strict voter ID law took effect in 2016, it directly affected turnout among these groups of people. We should not be purposefully leaving eligible voters behind by setting up additional barriers to the ballot, but unfortunately, those in the Badger State have one more step to take before voting.”
