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. |

You're welcome! Glad it's useful.

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

[#7]
I just saw a sign saying to vote no. A blue sign with white letters.

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. |

I did my part. 322 @4:25PM.
Then I see some dumb cunt low information voter on TV that said "RePuBlIcAnS aRe DeCePtIvE sO i HaVe To VoTe AgAiNsT tHiS" that cancelled out my vote. |

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. |

All I need to know is if the Dems say to vote no, I'm voting (voted) yes.

Late vote, busy day and completely forgot until getting kids ready for bed just now. #181 of mid-500 little farm town.

Talked to the vote watchers, they couldn’t believe the turnout.
They think it was for the ballot questions. I go by 6 town halls on the way home, ALL of them were packed tonight. |

Same here, drove by town hall around 2:30 and most of the parking lot was full. Same thing when I went in to vote later.

Looks like no bueno on the referendum.

That referendum was very difficult to understand.
I wonder how many people voted NO thinking they were voting to NOT give the Governor power over the purse strings… |

In a lot of areas there wasn't even much of reason for Dems to go vote yet 650,000 more people voted on the referendums than the Republican Senate primary.

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.
