While the votes haven’t been fully counted, enough of the votes have come in to say that Wisconsin’s Question 1 ending the private funding of elections, also known as ‘Zuckerbucks’ for the massive injection of cash by the Facebook boss that some say may have swung the 2020 election, has passed and will become the law.
The majority of people across Wisconsin voted to end the practice except in Milwaukee, Madison’s Dane and Iowa counties, and a few of the other predictable places.
The Zuckerbucks faction seemingly wasn’t hopeful and made sure the money got in before the votes came in.
Milwaukee received more than $1 million in private donations to help administer elections nearly a week before residents decide whether injecting private funding into elections is unconstitutional.
Tuesday’s vote came soon after the Milwaukee Election Commission received a $787,000 grant from the nonprofit Cities Forward. The commission’s executive director, Claire Woodall-Vogg, said she welcomed the funding because the state and federal governments aren’t spending enough to ensure elections run smoothly. Most of the funding has been allocated, she said, and she intended to spend it all before the constitutional amendment takes effect when the state certifies the vote totals in the coming weeks.
While banning private funding of elections is an important piece of the puzzle, massive amounts of money will still be injected into nonprofits engaged in voter registration and turnout.
While Question Two has flown under the radar, it’s arguably even more important. “Shall section 7 (2) of article III of the constitution be created to provide that only election officials designated by law may perform tasks in the conduct of primaries, elections, and referendums?” And it’s currently winning by a more decisive margin of nearly 60%.
Part of the reason here is that leftists are still struggling to explain why letting special interests fund elections is a good thing and there’s not much enthusiasm for it.
After weeks of media squawking about “unfounded election conspiracy theories”, most voters liked the idea of limiting election involvement to designated officials and government funding.

Has anyone noticed that this creature has not aged over the twenty years? What’s he on or is it just a mask? What’s behind the mask a pair of lizard eyes & a forked tongue?

Good one. His face has always unsettled me for reasons I am unable to articulate.
Jeff Bargholz says
It’s because he looks like an alien from an aquatic world. Those fish eyes of his are weird.
World@70 says
Same here! He always seems to look like he should be wearing a beanie with a propeller.
Jeff Bargholz says
He looks like a mannequin. A retarded Mannequin.

Maybe only citizens of the local district involved should be allowed to contribute to local elections. Seen huge contributions from large corporations trying to influence City Council elections in my former area. They were trying to get candidates elected who would vote in their favor at City Council meetings. Like millions in contributions from the large corporations vs a few thousands from local citizens.

There is not enough money for things like elections, police, fire, and water and sewer, but there is an endless supply of money to destabilize and undermine elections here and in every corner of the globe, kill people in those countries, spend hundreds of millions to then bring those people here, disperse them throughout the U.S. and pay for their upkeep. Oh yeah, and always plenty of money to teach children about gay sex, how evil white people are, and then sanction and bomb countries who don’t want to do the same.

Many of the elite tech leaders of America are already depraved psychopathic and berserk …
just like the Royal Families of the Islamic world who control the world’s oil supply and brainwash their own people.
That is what huge massive concentrated wealth does to people.
The elite tech leaders in America are America’s Royal Families,
and they are also brainwashing and destroying America and Freedom.
So the wealthy Islamic Royal Families and the wealthy American Tech oligarch Royal Families
will likely coalesce together because they have their common wealth and power and brainwashing ideologies to protect.
What a disgraceful demise to America.

Historically, many leaders were depraved psychopathic and berserk.
Jeff Bargholz says
Beijing Biden is depraved and psychopathic but much too frail to go berserk and he’s not really our leader. He does remind me of historical despots who had no restraint, though.

Don’t underestimate Wisconsin voters’ ability to eff things up though. They were blue at the presidential level for longer than Michigan and Pennsylvania and they re-elected Evers by a bigger margin than in 2018.
While they’re less blue than both Michigan and Pennsylvania, they aren’t over their Democrat addiction yet.
