Referendum could restrict voting access for Wisconsin women

A referendum on Wisconsin's April 1 ballot aims to enshrine the current photo ID law in the state constitution. Critics argue this could create challenges for women voters, as many have name discrepancies due to marriage. The proposal would also empower the legislature to define valid photo IDs and acceptable documents. This could complicate voting for women who do not have matching identification and for those classified as "indefinitely confined." Opponents believe the referendum could hinder modernization of voting laws and create barriers for certain voter groups. They urge voters to consider these implications before casting their ballots.
