The Wisconsin state legislature passed a proposal that could enshrine voter ID requirements in the state constitution if Wisconsin voters support it at the ballot box in April.

The proposal passed 54 to 45 along party lines in the state Assembly, with Republicans voting in favor and Democrats against. It was first introduced in the state Senate last week and quickly received public hearings before being passed.
