Earlier this week, a Senate Committee held a hearing on a proposed constitutional amendment that would prohibit anyone involved with state or local government from applying for, accepting, expending, or using any moneys or equipment in connection with any election if that money or equipment is donated or granted by an individual or nongovernmental entity. The amendment also prohibits any individual other than a duly designed election official from performing any task in any Wisconsin election.
Essentially this resolution is about making sure we never again have a situation like we had with “Zuckerbucks” in the twenty-twenty election, when millions of outside dollars and many out-of-state strangers interfered with and influenced our elections. This could be on statewide ballots this coming April.
