NextImg:Voter Integrity Activists Cannot Sleep on the April Wisconsin Race

Hopefully, patriots across the country are truly ‘not tired of winning yet’ with the new Trump/Vance administration. Even those still basking in the afterglow of earning the White House plus both houses of Congress—need to knuckle down and get back to work, to secure and extend the present momentum.

The Wisconsin state Supreme Court race on April 1 may seem obscure to a lot of voters nationwide, and even to some in the Badger State itself. But this race matters materially for that swing state and, in turn, for the nation.

Right now, the state high court is split 4-3 for the liberals, and that activist court intervened in 2024 to bring back the dubious practice of unmanned ballot drop boxes, just before last November’s voting. Although President Trump did flip the state and win Wisconsin, it was a photo finish, and the tightest victory of his incredible swing-state sweep.

Only 29,000 votes separated Trump from Harris, in a state with over 3.3 million cast. In addition, note that the solid GOP US Senate nominee, Eric Hovde, did not prevail, despite the many vulnerabilities of incumbent Senator Tammy Baldwin.

So, this court race in Wisconsin carries huge national implications. If the radical leftist candidate Susan Crawford wins, the liberal court will tilt even further left. In addition to the terrible and corruption-inducing practice of drop boxes, she clearly threatens voter identification requirements for casting ballots.

In fact, as an attorney suing the state of Wisconsin, Crawford called voter ID rules “draconian.” That radical stance was reported by even the biased Milwaukee Journal Sentinel in an article titled: “Susan Crawford is mum on voter ID. That wasn’t always the case.”

Similarly, the Twin Cities Pioneer Press reported that Crawford compared sensible voter ID requirements to racist rules used in the Jim Crow era to prevent black Americans from voting. She made the ludicrous claim that any requirement to show ID is “very much of a poll tax.”

But what do the people of Wisconsin think of voter ID?

Well, thankfully, the common-sense citizens of Wisconsin overwhelmingly support identification requirements for this sacred act of civic engagement. The margin, in fact, is an astonishing 87% in favor of voter ID and a mere 9% opposed. Clearly, the vast preponderance of reasonable Wisconsinites recognizes that any important activity in life requires identification, from boarding a plane to staying at a hotel.

This poll was commissioned by my populist advocacy organization, the League of American Workers, and conducted by TIPP Insights. It used a sample universe of over 1,000 registered voters that split 50-49% between Trump and Harris voters, exactly in line with the final 2024 vote totals in that state.

Importantly, in a politically polarized era, this issue is not at all partisan. In fact, a stunning 89% of Kamala Harris voters in Wisconsin support voter ID. In addition, 78% of blacks, 85% of Hispanics, and 89% of women all support this common-sense protection for voter integrity.

So, the evidence is overwhelming that patriotic heartland voters of every partisan stripe want clean, transparent elections.

The best way to ensure that outcome of fairness and openness is to elect Brad Schimel for the Wisconsin high court. Plus, patriots all over the country should pay close attention, and help however they can, since the 2026 midterms and the 2028 presidential races could well hinge upon what happens shortly in this Midwestern battle.
