The amendment passed with approximately 70% support, reflecting a broad consensus among Wisconsinites on the importance of safeguarding elections.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that

On the ballot is Question 1, a critical referendum to amend the Wisconsin State Constitution to require VOTER ID — a commonsense measure backed by overwhelming majorities of Americans, yet fiercely opposed by the far Left and their media allies.

A “yes” vote on Question 1 supports adding the voter ID requirement to the Wisconsin Constitution, reinforcing the current law. A “no” vote opposes this constitutional amendment, leaving the existing statutory requirement unchanged.

According to Ballotpedia:

The amendment authorizes the Wisconsin State Legislature to pass laws to establish acceptable forms of photo identification and exceptions to the requirements. Voters who do not provide a valid form of photo identification on Election Day would be able to cast a provisional ballot and provide a valid form of photo identification at a later time in accordance with state law for the ballot to count.

Currently, Wisconsin requires voter photo identification via state law. By adding it to the state constitution, the threshold to make changes or remove the requirement would be higher than a legislative majority by requiring voter approval of another constitutional amendment to do so. State law requires the following forms of photo identification to vote:

• Wisconsin driver’s license,
• ID card issued by a U.S. uniformed service,
• Wisconsin nondriver ID,
• U.S. passport,
• Certificate of naturalization issued not more than two years before the election,
• ID card issued by a federally recognized Indian tribe in Wisconsin,
• Student ID card with a signature, an issue date, and an expiration date no later than two years after the election, or
• Photo ID card provided by the Veteran’s Health Administration.

Trump wrote on Truth Social, “WISCONSIN: There is a very important Referendum (Question 1) on the April 1st Ballot to amend the State Constitution to require VOTER ID. This, and other Election Integrity measures, including banning Drop Boxes, and Same Day Voting with Paper Ballots, can only happen if you GET OUT AND VOTE!”

In August 2021, a Marquette University Law School poll indicated that 74% of registered voters in Wisconsin favored requiring a government-issued photo ID to vote. This support varied by political affiliation: 92% of Republicans, 71% of independents, and 55% of Democrats were in favor.

Nationally, support for voter ID laws appears even higher. An October 2024 Gallup poll reported that 84% of Americans supported requiring photo identification at polling places, with 98% of Republicans, 84% of independents, and 67% of Democrats in agreement. ​

In a resounding affirmation of conservative principles and leadership, Republicans Randy Fine and Jimmy Patronis emerged victorious in Florida’s special elections on Tuesday.

Trump-endorsed Randy Fine clinched the 6th Congressional District seat, succeeding Mike Waltz, who vacated the position to serve as President Donald Trump’s national security adviser.​

Despite being massively outspent—Weil raised over $9 million compared to Fine’s under $1 million—Fine’s victory demonstrates that the electorate values principles over political spending.

“RANDY FINE WINS!!!” President Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The president added, “Congratulations Randy, a great WIN against a massive CASH AVALANCHE.”

Because of you, Mr. President.

Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s Chief Financial Officer, secured a decisive win in the 1st Congressional District, a region encompassing the westernmost part of the Florida Panhandle.

This seat became vacant following the resignation of former Representative Matt Gaetz, who was initially nominated for U.S. Attorney General by President Donald Trump but later withdrew his candidacy.

Despite facing a well-funded Democratic challenger, Gay Valimont—a gun control activist who significantly outspent Patronis—Patronis clinched the victory with a commanding 57% of the vote.

“Jimmy Patronis WINS BIG! Congratulations Jimmy,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump added, “BOTH FLORIDA HOUSE SEATS HAVE BEEN WON, BIG, BY THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE. THE TRUMP ENDORSEMENT, AS ALWAYS, PROVED FAR GREATER THAN THE DEMOCRATS FORCES OF EVIL. CONGRATULATIONS TO AMERICA!!!”

President Donald Trump’s endorsement played a pivotal role in both victories.

Following the special elections in Florida’s 1st and 6th Congressional Districts, the composition of the U.S. House of Representatives stands at 220 Republicans and 213 Democrats, with two seats remaining vacant.

These vacancies are due to the recent deaths of Democratic Representatives Sylvester Turner of Texas’s 18th District and Raúl Grijalva of Arizona’s 7th District. Special elections to fill these seats have yet to be scheduled.​

Polls already closed in Wisconsin in the state Supreme Court race that pits Republican Brad Schimel against far left Democrat Susan Crawford.

The race will decide the future of Wisconsin including election laws, voter ID laws, ballot drop boxes and the redistricting of the state’s eight US House seats.

Currently, Republicans in Wisconsin hold a 6-2 majority in US House seats and yet surprisingly, Democrats are able to win state-wide races.

“Some locations are experiencing ballot shortages due to the higher voter turnout,” ABC 12 reported.

BALLOT SHORTAGES:

Yes, some Wisconsin polling locations DID run out of ballots.

The public rift over the future of African Children Charity Sentebale has again escalated, with an ugly exchange of accusations between the Chairwoman Sophie Chandauka and the organization founder Prince Harry – who resigned from the charity along with co-founder the Prince of Lesotho and the whole board of Trustees.

On the one hand, the Zimbabwean lawyer Chandauka is accusing Harry of having sent her an ‘unpleasant’ message after she refused defend Meghan Markle in the press.

New York Post reported:

“The Duke of Sussex, 40, reportedly demanded Chandauka to ‘explain herself’ after she declined to issue a statement supporting his wife when their polo match tension made headlines in April 2024.

Video of the awkward exchange showed the ‘Suits’ alum, 43, move Chandauka away from Harry as she clutched a trophy during a photo op.”

“As the tense moment made rounds on social media, Harry had his team ask the former global COO of Morgan Stanley’s shared services and banking operations to ‘issue some sort of a statement in support’ of Markle, sources told the Telegraph.

‘I knew what would happen if I did so, number one. And number two, because we cannot be an extension of the Sussexes’, Chandauka said of her decision to not issue a statement when asked.”

Harry’s note to the lawyer was reportedly ‘unpleasant’ and ‘included imperious language’.

A Sentebale spokesman confirmed that there is a document proving the ‘bullying’.

In the meantime, sources ‘close to the trustees’ (i.e. Prince Harry) are accusing the Chairwoman of ‘playing the race card’ to maintain control of the organization.

The Telegraph reported:

“A source close to the trustees, who resigned en masse this month alongside the Duke of Sussex and his co-founder Prince Seeiso of Lesotho, claimed Ms. Chandauka, a Zimbabwe-born lawyer, alleged racism when she realized things were not going her way.

“’She’s definitely playing the race card and openly’, the source said. ‘This is her plan. As soon as anyone turns against her, she brings the race card in and she comes for you’.”

When the Sentebale board demanded Chandauka to resign, she appealed to the High Court, prompting mass resignations.

“’She’s a very poisonous woman and it’s very sad it’s come to this’, the source said.”

She allegedly ‘barged her way’ into the Chairwoman’s position.

Contacted to “help” with the recruitment process, she complained not to have been considered herself, and threatened legal action if she was not put on the list.

“Having outlined her qualifications, Ms. Chandauka is said to have suggested she might take action unless interviewed for the position. ‘I will reflect upon this and what to do about it’, she is said to have told the recruitment consultant in writing.

‘It was basically a threat’, the source alleged. ‘She was put in touch with the agent and barged her way in’.”

President Trump won the state but Democrats were able to snatch a late victory for the US Senate seat.

Brad Schimel opened up an early lead in the state.
