(The Center Square) – In the wake of an executive order aiming to tighten up voter ID laws, President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social on Monday about a potential state constitutional amendment appearing on Wisconsin’s ballots in a Tuesday, April 1, election.
“There is a very important Referendum (Question 1) on the April 1st Ballot to amend the State Constitution to require VOTER ID,” Trump wrote.
Wisconsin already requires that voters supply a photo ID at the polls, but enshrining that provision in the state Constitution would make it more unassailable by the state legislature and courts where it might be challenged.
Trump signed an executive order just last week requiring documented proof of citizenship for voter registration and requiring states to stop counting mail-in ballots received after election day. Some organizations have already said they plan to challenge the order in court.
Trump went on to mention other changes he’d like to see made to election laws in the post.
“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!”
The president also urged Wisconsinites to vote for circuit court judge and former state attorney general, Republican Brad Schimel in a race for the state Supreme Court.
Schimel is running against another circuit court judge, Susan Crawford.
“[Susan] will be one of the most Liberal Judges ever elected, which would be a DISASTER for Wisconsin and, the United States of America,” Trump wrote.
The president has also repeatedly endorsed Florida House of Representatives candidates Jimmy Patronis and state Sen. Randy Fine in recent weeks, who are running in a special general election to fill vacancies left by National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who abdicated his seat after being tapped for U.S. attorney general, though he ultimately withdrew himself from consideration from that position.
