A Wisconsin Elections Commission (WEC) report released this week reveals that a staggering 54,360 voters who claimed indefinite confinement did not have valid photo identification on file with their municipal clerk and were thus able to circumvent Wisconsin s Voter ID Law.
The WEC s Election Data Report reveals that 265,979 voters (a full 12.6% of the state s total voters) claimed to be indefinitely confined [to their homes] because of age, physical illness or infirmity or were disabled for an indefinite period in accordance with Wisconsin Statute 6.86(2). Given that just 70,218 claimed indefinite confinement during the 2018 election cycle, this sudden 279% increase is even more suspicious.
