“Not Constitutional, but a good idea”

Not Constitutional? Please elucidate. Unless I’m mistaken, I’m under the impression that when this county was formed, you had to be a landowner to vote.

And if it is unconstitutional at the moment, change the constitution.

Wisconsin's voting laws do NOT require "net-tax-contributor" status to vote at this time, and I would resist, ferociously, such a requirement--not because I am a DU operative, but because citizenship in and of itself is sufficient for the franchise, IMHO.

The 24th Amendment makes any tax-payment requirement unconstitutional for federal elections.
