Wisconsin has no-excuse absentee voting.<ref>http://gab.wi.gov/elections-voting/voters/absentee</ref> Wisconsin's voter ID law would have required absentee voters to include a copy of valid voter ID with their application or completed ballot; however, this only needs to be done once until the voter re-registers.<ref>http://epic.org/privacy/voting/Wisconsin-voting_by_absentee_ballot_pdf_46357.pdf</ref>

==Conclusion==
Of the nine states that have passed strict photo ID laws, only three of them have no-excuse absentee voting or early voting. Two of them, Kansas and Wisconsin, require ID to be presented in conjunction with absentee voting. One state, Georgia, does not have this requirement, but defenders of the voter ID law cited the ability to vote absentee without an excuse and without presenting voter ID as a reason why Georgia's voter ID law is not unconstitutional.
Thus, the claim that liberals passed early voting to circumvent strict voter ID requirements has no support in the factual record.
