Wisconsin Congressmember Glenn Grothman has sparked controversy with his comments about Wisconsin’s controversial new voter ID laws, which prevented thousands of registered voters from casting ballots in this week’s primary. Speaking to NBC on Tuesday, Grothman admitted that he believed the state’s voter ID laws would give the Republican presidential candidate an advantage during the general election this fall.

Charles Benson: “Take this forward to November. You know that a lot of Republicans since 1984 in the presidential races have not been able to win in Wisconsin. Why would it be any different for a Ted Cruz or a Donald Trump?”

Rep. Glenn Grothman: “Well, I think Hillary Clinton is about the weakest candidate the Democrats have ever put up. And now we have photo ID, and I think photo ID is going to make a little bit of a difference, as well.”
