Propie, I'll give you props for dreaming up silly controversies, so easy to shoot down! Sure you aren't a Republican trying to embarass Democrats. Of course, that's easy today!
First, anyone who's voted in the same precinct before won't be asked for ID.
I didn't see that provision anywhere. The only provision for not having to show ID is if your address is confidential due to domestic abuse, etc. or you have been required to surrender your license to law enforcement, and in AB7 #1 below:
"1) the person has already provided a copy of his or her license or identification
card in connection with an absentee ballot cast at a previous election and has not
changed his or her name or address since that election ..."
These are the general provisions:
Voters who arrive at the polls without a photo ID will be allowed to vote; however their ballots will be considered provisional and could be tossed unless an ID is presented to the municipal clerk by the Friday following the election.

This is a portion of the printed bill:
2011 ASSEMBLY BILL 7, p.3
http://www.mygov365.com/legisl...500100/tab/versions/
With certain limited exceptions, this bill requires each eligible elector who
attempts to register or to vote at the polls on election day to present a valid Wisconsin
driver’s license issued to the person by the Department of Transportation (DOT), a
valid, current identification card issued to the person by a U.S. uniformed service,
or a valid Wisconsin identification card issued to the person by DOT or, if DOT
implements the provisions of the federal REAL ID Act, an identification certificate
issued to the person by DOT (see below). A person whose address is confidential as
a result of domestic abuse, sexual assault, or stalking or in certain cases a person who
has been required by a law enforcement officer to surrender his or her license (see
below) is exempted from the requirement. Under the bill, any person who applies
for an absentee ballot, except a military or overseas elector, as defined by federal law,
or a person whose address is confidential as a result of domestic abuse, sexual
assault, or stalking, must also provide a copy of the license or identification card,
unless: 1) the person has already provided a copy of his or her license or identification
card in connection with an absentee ballot cast at a previous election and has not
changed his or her name or address since that election; 2) the person has been
required by a law enforcement officer to surrender his or her license (see below); 3)
the person is indefinitely confined, in which case the person may submit a statement
signed by the person who witnesses his or her absentee ballot verifying his or her
identity; or 4) the person is an occupant of any nursing home, or is an occupant of a
community−based residential facility, retirement home, adult family home, or
residential care apartment complex where a municipality sends special voting
deputies, in which case the person may submit a statement signed by the deputies
verifying his or her identity.
