"Wisconsin Voters Approve Ban on Private Election Funding"
TL;DR Summary
Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendments banning private money for elections and affirming that only election officials can administer elections, in response to grants received in 2020 funded by donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Republicans supported the amendments, claiming the funds favored Democratic strongholds, while Democrats opposed them, arguing they could hinder voter participation. The measures were brought to circumvent Democratic Gov. Tony Evers and were not subject to his approval.
