MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin’s photo ID requirement for voting would be elevated from a state law to a constitutional amendment under a proposal approved in the Republican-controlled Assembly with no support from Democrats. The proposed constitutional amendment will now appear on the April 1 ballot for voter consideration. It needs to be approved by voters before the constitution would be amended. Even if voters rejected it, the voter ID requirement that has been in state law since 2011 would remain in place. The Assembly passed it on a party-line vote with all Republicans in support and Democrats opposed.
