Wisconsin voters approve two GOP-backed ballot measures that will change how elections are run

Wisconsin voters on Tuesday approved a pair of Republican-backed constitutional amendments that will change how elections are run in the critical battleground state, according to projections from The Associated Press.

The first measure, labeled on the ballot as Question 1, will ban the use of private funds in election administration — often referred derisively to by conservatives as “Zuckerbucks.”

The second measure, Question 2, narrows the role and definition of an election worker. Specifically, the measure asked voters to decide whether “only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums.”

Opponents had argued that the measures were the result of unfounded conspiracy theories following Joe Biden’s 2020 election win and that passing them would create obstacles to smoothly administering elections this fall in Wisconsin, where the results could help decide the presidential election, as well as the balance of power in the U.S. Senate.

Supporters said the first measure would effectively ban “dark money” from elections and that the second would help clarify and streamline election administration.

This is the type of strategy conservatives need to use, file one lawsuit after another and work to get ballot initiatives voted on by the people and change the election process

This was already law that the dems ignored.

Especially considering Biden got 36,000 more votes than Trump in the primary.

I guess the democrats didn't crank up the fraud machine for this one. Must have been an oversight. Too bad for them.
