Radical Crawford Would Destroy Wisconsin’s Popular Voter ID Law

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin’s Voter ID law, a commonsense measure supported by a majority of Wisconsinites to ensure fair and secure elections, is once again under threat. Susan Crawford’s longstanding opposition to this critical law – and her history as the attorney seeking to repeal it – further exposes her radical, partisan agenda and willingness to undermine election integrity to serve the interests of liberal special interest groups.

As voters learn more about Crawford, they will be alarmed by her deep ties to radical, out-of-touch causes and her consistent alignment with the Democrat elites of Madison. Crawford’s past attempts to dismantle the state’s voter ID, combined with the Court’s current liberal majority signaling their desire to revisit this issue, reveal a coordinated effort to trample over the will of Wisconsin voters.

“This is not just about one candidate’s radical record – it’s about the future of fair elections in Wisconsin,” said Andrew Iverson, Executive Director for the Republican Party of Wisconsin. “Susan Crawford’s disdain for a law that is supported by the overwhelming majority of Wisconsinites can’t be hidden. If elected, it’s nearly guaranteed Crawford and the liberal Supreme Court majority will dismantle this critical safeguard and jeopardize the integrity of our elections.”

Crawford has long resented protecting Wisconsin’s elections from fraudulent activities:

• Led Legal Efforts Against Voter ID: As an attorney at Pines Bach, Crawford actively worked to challenge and overturn Wisconsin’s voter ID law, representing the liberal League of Women Voters.
• Compared the Popular Law to a “Poll Tax”: Crawford used extreme rhetoric equating election security law to laws that kept poor individuals and racial minorities from casting ballots.
• Called Voter Id “Draconian”: Continuing her penchant for hyperbole, protecting voters is an excessively harsh activity to Crawford.
• Support from Activist Judges: Crawford claims to be a fair and impartial jurist, similar to the current liberal Supreme Court majority that has shown little hesitation in legislating from the bench to advance a partisan agenda.
