From the article:

“Flanagan determined Wisconsin’s voter ID law was the most restrictive in the country based on testimony from Ken Mayer, a University of Wisconsin-Madison political science professor. Mayer has estimated there are more than 220,000 Wisconsin residents who do not have photo IDs but who are otherwise qualified to vote.”

Wisconsin has 3,493,711 registered voters. 6.3% of those voters are registered, but don’t have IDs.
