First on FOX: Research in Wisconsin's key swing states has been carried out against the general arguments of many on the political left, concluding that the Voter ID Act does not suppress state voting.
“This study does not show a statistically significant negative impact of the voter ID Act on overall turnout in Wisconsin,” concludes a new study from Wisconsin Law & Liberty Institute (Will).
“In fact, since the law was implemented, voter turnout has increased slightly, challenging the claim that voter ID requirements lead to widespread disenfranchisement.”
Critics have it too I opposed The Voter ID Act has recently argued that critics deprive minority voters of difficulty in identifying. The study states that “there is no evidence of the negative impact of voter turnout among non-white Wisconsinians.”

The survey compared the turnout in Wisconsin over 20 years, beginning with the 2004 presidential election and ending with the 2024 presidential election. Although he acknowledged that voter turnout could be “affected by many factors beyond the Voter ID Act,” he explained that “these key control variables are included to ensure that the true impact of the law is isolated.”
Wisconsin established the Voter ID Act in 2011.
Will Flanders, WELL's research director, told Fox News Digital that he hopes that people from this study expect the general narrative of voter ID laws to be data-based.
“When people make these claims that voter ID is a means of this restraint, there's really no evidence to support it,” Flanders said.
“People often say it is particularly difficult for people from ethnic minorities and low-income backgrounds. We specifically looked at the impact on areas with fewer voters, but found that even in these areas there is no evidence to support this case. There is no impact on voter turnout in areas with a smaller population than in other parts of the state. So there is no overall impact and does not affect voters who are generally claimed to be the most affected. ”

Jason Snead, executive director of honest election project action, told Fox News Digital that what Will reports is consistent with “many many” other studies showing that the voter ID Act “doesn't make the left claim.”
“On the contrary, the Voter ID Act increases public confidence in elections, directly leading to higher voter turnout and greater trust in the democratic process. While liberal politicians are desperate to mislead the public, the truth is that the Voter ID Act is overwhelmingly popular. That means that 36 states have a nation to vote to demand North Carolina and Nevada votes.
