After clerks in Dane and Milwaukee counties told residents to illegally use indefinite confinement as a way to avoid the state’s photo ID requirement ahead of the 2020 spring election, the number of “indefinitely confined” voters ballooned from over 50,000 on March 1, 2020 to nearly 250,000 by Election Day in November. As a result, voters were able to circumvent commonsense voter ID laws, which a majority of Americans support.

“Most Americans support photo ID requirements because they are a commonsense way to ensure that our elections are secure, transparent and that every voter only votes once,” said Republican Party of Wisconsin Chairman Andrew Hitt. “We commend Republicans in the Legislature for leading the way on election integrity so that all Wisconsinites can have confidence in our electoral process.”

We need to do whatever it takes to ensure that our elections are safe and secure for years to come. Passing bills and spreading the word about the importance of election reform will help to protect our democracy for future generations. That’s why the Republican Party of Wisconsin launched our Election Reform Task Force, which has been hard at work reviewing bills and making recommendations to the State Legislature.
