The incidences of voter fraud in your state are very low.

To vote on day of election, or to register to vote, you have to provide the following (this is only part of the requirements, there are residency time requirements, too): (and if you do not show these, you can only cast a provision ballot in the federal election only that is not automatically counted)

from Wis.gov

Acceptable documents for proof of Wisconsin residency

Documents presented as proof must be original. Photocopies and account statements printed online are not acceptable.

The following documents are acceptable proof of Wisconsin residency when they include your name and current Wisconsin residence street address:

* Employee photo identification card issued by your current employer, containing your employer's name and address. Your employer's telephone number may be required for verification.

* Pay check or stub with your name and Wisconsin address, and your employer's name and address. Your employer's telephone number may be required for verification.

* A utility bill for water, gas, electricity or land-line telephone service at least 30 days old.

* An account statement at least 30 days old from a Wisconsin financial institution. The account statement must show activity.

* Wisconsin Quest Card (acceptable for proof of Wisconsin residency without your residence street address on it).

* Forward Wisconsin ID Medical Assistance Card (acceptable for proof of Wisconsin residency without your residence street address on it).

* Certified school record or transcript.

* Mortgage documents for a residential property in Wisconsin.

The department will decline to accept any document presented if it does not provide conclusive proof of residency.

Documents presented as proof must be original. Photocopies are not acceptable. Documents with a photograph of a person will be accepted only when the person is readily recognizable from the photograph. The department will decline to accept any document presented if it has reason to suspect the authenticity of the document. Questionable documents may require additional review.
