Conservatives secure cash bail victory in Wisconsin election.

Despite losing control of the Wisconsin Supreme Court to liberals, conservatives won overwhelming support from voters for three ballot propositions related to crime and welfare. Judges in Wisconsin can now consider past convictions for violent crimes when setting bail for someone accused of a violent crime, and set conditions to protect public safety when releasing someone before trial. An advisory question on the ballot asked voters if able-bodied childless adults should be required to look for work to receive welfare benefits, with 80% saying yes. The election is expected to have implications for issues including election rules and the drawing of districts for elected office in the state ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
