Trump Hails Wisconsin Voter ID Win as Key to Long-Term Electoral Success.

PULSE POINTS:

❓What Happened: More than 60 percent of Wisconsin voters approved a state constitutional amendment to enforce voter ID requirements, strengthening existing state election laws.

👥 Who’s Involved: Wisconsin voters, President Donald J. Trump, Republicans, Democrats, Judge Susan Crawford, and Brad Schimel.

📍 Where & When: Wisconsin’s Spring Election this past Tuesday.

💬 Key Quote: Trump on Truth Social stated, “This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT.”

⚠️ Impact: Strengthens the Republican position in Wisconsin, making it more challenging to alter voter ID laws through legal and legislative actions. Despite the win, a left-leaning judge was elected to the state Supreme Court, which could pave the way for other Democratic Party-backed changes to Wisconsin’s election laws.

IN FULL:

Wisconsin voters have decisively approved a constitutional amendment that strengthens state voter ID requirements, with over 60 percent in favor. This new amendment will fortify existing voter ID laws, which have been in place since 2011, from legal and legislative challenges.

President Donald J. Trump praised the amendment’s approval by Wisconsin voters, suggesting it secures a strategic advantage for Republicans in the state for the foreseeable future. “VOTER I.D. JUST APPROVED IN WISCONSIN ELECTION. Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can CHEAT. This is a BIG WIN FOR REPUBLICANS, MAYBE THE BIGGEST WIN OF THE NIGHT,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social late Tuesday night.

He added: “IT SHOULD ALLOW US TO WIN WISCONSIN, LIKE I JUST DID IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, FOR MANY YEARS TO COME!”

Republicans in Wisconsin pushed for the constitutional amendment to protect the law from potential changes by a future Democratic government or the state’s Supreme Court. Tuesday’s election also saw far-left judge Susan Crawford defeat conservative candidate Brad Schimel in a race for an open seat on the state’s high court—placing further importance on the adoption of the voter ID amendment.

Voter ID laws remain almost universally popular among the broader American electorate. Notably, an October survey by Gallup found that 84 percent of voters support the election integrity measures. However, the Democratic Party—through lawfare and legislative action—continues to work against voter ID requirements, claiming such laws disenfranchise voters.

Joe Biden Pulls Last Minute Equal Rights Amendment Farce.

Soon-to-be former President Joe Biden is attempting a last-minute ratification of the so-called Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), a proposed 28th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, to enshrine abortion rights. The ERA, which legally failed ratification over 40 years ago, explicitly bars discrimination based on sex and—in theory—could pave the way for federal abortion access litigation despite the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

“I have supported the Equal Rights Amendment for more than 50 years, and I have long been clear that no one should be discriminated against based on their sex,” Biden said in a statement announcing his determination on the amendment’s status on Friday. The 82-year-old Democrat continued: “We, as a nation, must affirm and protect women’s full equality once and for all.”

Subsequently, the Biden White House and Vice President Kamala Harris both released statements declaring the ERA “the law of the land.”

While the Biden government publicly insists the President’s statement constitutionally enshrines the ERA, government officials are privately acknowledging the announcement amounts to little more than a declaration of Biden’s opinion. The Archivist of the United States, Dr. Colleen Shogan, has repeatedly stated that the ERA “cannot be certified as part of the Constitution due to established legal, judicial, and procedural decisions.”

“In 2020 and again in 2022, the Office of Legal Counsel of the U.S. Department of Justice affirmed that the ratification deadline established by Congress for the ERA is valid and enforceable,” Dr. Shogan states, adding: “Court decisions at both the District and Circuit levels have affirmed that the ratification deadlines established by Congress for the ERA are valid. Therefore, the Archivist of the United States cannot legally publish the Equal Rights Amendment.”

The U.S. Supreme Court is unlikely to uphold Biden’s determination regarding the ERA.
