In an era where trust in American institutions seems increasingly scarce, the voters of Wisconsin just delivered a powerful reminder: common sense still matters.
On Tuesday, Wisconsin citizens voted to enshrine their existing voter ID law into the state constitution, affirming—by a comfortable margin—that securing our elections with valid government-issued identification is not only prudent, but essential. With 62% support and rising, the message from voters is crystal clear: they want elections they can trust.
The fact that it took a constitutional amendment to reinforce what should be a bipartisan no-brainer is, sadly, a sign of the times. Despite overwhelming national support—poll after poll shows voter ID laws enjoying 70% to 80% approval across all demographics—Democratic-aligned interest groups like the ACLU, Common Cause, and others scrambled to oppose this measure. Their argument? That the amendment “sets a troubling precedent.”
What’s troubling, frankly, is the persistent refusal by Democratic leaders and their legal proxies to acknowledge what the American public intuitively understands: elections require both access and accountability. One without the other breeds chaos—or worse, apathy. When citizens feel that their vote may be canceled out by fraud, manipulation, or poor oversight, they begin to disengage. That’s the real threat to democracy.
Let’s call it what it is: this is another example of the Democratic Party choosing to fight against an 80/20 issue—putting ideology and partisanship over the will of the people. The same groups that argue you should need an ID to pick up concert tickets or board a plane somehow believe it’s unreasonable to ask for one when electing the leaders of the free world.
Voter ID is not about exclusion. It’s about basic election hygiene—a fundamental layer of defense that builds faith in the process for everyone, regardless of party affiliation. The left’s insistence that it is a form of voter suppression has been eroded by time, data, and now, the will of Wisconsin voters.
To their credit, Wisconsin Republicans saw the writing on the wall and moved proactively to codify voter ID into the constitution, ensuring that no future legislature can sweep it away in a partisan overreach. It was a simple act of political maturity, supported by President Trump and embraced by voters from Green Bay to Madison. It represents the kind of blocking and tackling we need to restore trust in our electoral systems—slow, deliberate, and grounded in principle.
The battle for election integrity is far from over. But Wisconsin’s vote is a significant step in the right direction—a quiet, decisive stand for accountability at the ballot box. For those of us who believe that trust in elections is the foundation of a functioning republic, this week’s result offers both validation and a glimmer of optimism.
Score one for common sense. Now if only we could bring some Wisconsin common sense to Connecticut!
