Liberals want illegal immigrants to have voting rights.
That's why they brought in so many millions of them. I predict that this amendment will not pass because there will be enough non-U.S. citizens voting against it. |

I'm seeing ads that say Wisconsin can't fix its roads if the amendments pass. Paid for by savetheconstitution or something like that.

They fix roads and steer money to Madison and Milwaukee, and dole out the scraps to the towns that need it as they feel.Our town was supposed to get close to 80,000 to fix roads,then Evers decided Milwaukee needed bike paths. We got Zilch. |

Go vote people!
The constitutional questions are sorta tricky. Use the guide above for the summary of what they mean. 18 and 19 in my ward at 7:30 ish, so vote turn out in the morning is low. |

So as much as I hate the current Governor I don’t think I can get behind these amendments.
Historically the power of the purse has always fallen to the executive branch. I can see this biting the republicans in the ass down the line if we ever get a Republican governor back in the office. With the district restructuring I don’t see the assembly staying as red down the line. |

It's also bizarre that the liberal side opposes it. The amendments literally increase democracy and democratic institutions in the state, but the Dems were against because the Reps hold the legislature. Cognitive dissonance. Here's another complaint about the advertising in particular. I get YouTube ads that are pretty much exclusively Democratic ads. Why do I not see Republican ads? I'm SICK of all the Dem advertising, with no counter that I can see. |

When the candidate with the most money in their campaign funds wins most elections, it only means those offices are being bought by those who stand to gain more money from the person they bought & paid for to be in that office. The whole fucking system is now corrupt to the core.
