On Tuesday night, Wisconsin voters approved a ban on private funding in elections.
Voters approved a constitutional amendment proposed by Republicans in response to the use of Zuckerberg’s funds in the state during the 2020 elections.
In 2020, Wisconsin introduced a mobile voting station funded solely by Zuckerbucks.
Zuckerbucks were also used to steal votes from elderly Americans residing in nursing homes.
Wisconsin Watch reported:
Private money to fund elections will be banned in Wisconsin after voters Tuesday approved a constitutional amendment put forward by Republicans in reaction to grants received in 2020 that were funded by donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.
Also on Tuesday, Democratic President Joe Biden and Republican former president Donald Trump, both already their parties’ presumptive nominees, won the Wisconsin primary.
Voters also approved a second question put on the ballot by the Republican-controlled Legislature that amends the constitution to say that only election officials can administer elections. That’s already state law, but putting it in the constitution makes it more difficult to repeal or change.
The Wisconsin Republican Party hailed approval of the amendments.
“Wisconsin has spoken and the message is clear: elections belong to voters, not out-of-state billionaires,” said state GOP Chairman Brian Schimming in a statement.
