But only the VPN provider would know if the source is Wisconsin. And only if they're using one VPN. Double up and now no one knows.

    Right, since the web site doesn't know where you are, they don't know that you are not in a jurisdiction that requires ID, so they play it safe and ask you for ID regardless.

    Many don't "play it safe" in that fashion. It's safer to not know. For them. Because if senators and other congress critters start getting tracked provably, then things can turn sour really quick.

    Imagine of grindr required id? Every GOP event would be a lawsuit minefield for then.
